They have talked somewhat (even in the intro) about the PVE aspect that they will be putting in, such as facing off with ground unit Rogue Drones.
So, in that vein:
Onslaught:
Game Type: Cooperative PVE.
Description: This game type tasks a team of mercenaries with shutting down a Rogue Drone infestation by hacking, and uploading a virus into, a Central Control Node. Fighting your way in, and starting the hack is the relatively easy part (relative in that there are still RDs shooting at you, but not as many.)
Once the node is hacked and the virus uploads starts then the real fun begins: the team must now hold the Node until the virus and hack completes (countdown clock) while the Node, out of self-preservation, calls in every available Rogue Drone to save it.
Its a battle against seemingly endless waves of Rogue Drones until the virus upload takes effect and shuts them all down via the hacked Node.
How the players win: Simple really: Hold the Node at all costs until the countdown clock hits zero and the virus uploads, disabling all Rogue Drones and the Node itself.
How the Rogue Drones win: If they manage to reach the Central Node and terminate the hack (taking one minute to do so - if attacked or destroyed the hack is aborted and the drone must try again, or another must try if it can reach the Node)
or
If the defending players run out of clones.
Lot of things you could do, involve the MCC somehow in dropping additional defenses or a CRU/Supply Point for the players to respawn from.
One could make the first waves of Rogue Drones relatively weak and then get progressively smarter, tougher, and more dangerous as the countdown continues to the end.

Having multiple drone PVE modes would be great for variety. I support this idea proposed by this baaaad mutha thukker. |

Yeah, doing a PvE type of game where you defend against waves of enemies is something they have a lot of really great examples to look at for inspiration. Defending hacks and stuff sounds just fine. The sky is the limit with this stuff, really. |

Seems good. I look forward to what they already have though (if you pay attention at the NPE video, you can see the drones). |
