Gladiator Arena E-sports is coming, EVE and Dust players will be able to spectate and place bets. Revealed in EVE fanfest 2012. No information of specific game types, but what you suggested would fit in there nicely.
I have a Gladiator Suggestion thread here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=36038&find=unread
What I want to see:
IMPORTANT: All weapons, dropsuits, and other gear in gladiator arena must be of the same tier. No militia users against prototype users. It must be a true contest of skill, not decided by ISK. Standard FPS modes like Deathmatch and Capture The Flag.
Fun unconventional modes, for example: A mode where each player is hunting another player as a target.
LAV and jet (when they come) racing.
Fighting genetically modified fauna, like a giant bug. There is life in New Eden besides human, and its perfectly conceivable that some life would get genetically modified if they will be used as entertainment tools against gladiators.
MTAC battles (MTACs are mechs that are planned to come in 2013).
Special rules and limitations for each of the above modes (like knives and pistols only, weapon pickups, or no respawn)
Extreme, and spectacular visually captivating combat areas. Imagine fighting in an Amaar stadium full of ornate architecture, gold, and glorious shining statues.
Ghost jump mode: Inspired by the "transfer of consciousness" respawn system of Dust 514.
Many computer-piloted clones are all over the battlefield.
Players can highjack any of those computer-piloted clones by transferring consciousness, and ditch a clone for a new one as soon as they want. No respawn times.
Kills give you points, and deaths make you lose points. Kills of computer-controlled clones give very few points, while killing player-possessed clones gives more points. The more points your victim had when you killed him, the more points you get.
This can be free-for all, or team vs team.
Whoever has the most points by the end of the battle wins.
The battle arena will be set up to make all of this possible, and would be quite a fun sport. I think there was another shooter with something similar to this, but can't think of what.
