DUST Search - [Request] New Game Mode: Acquisition

A little excitement, a little fun.

Here's a question: What can inspire intense games?

Final note: I had a crazy idea of a sudden death mode. You got your team, you need to go to an objective, enemy will be waiting for you. They will not know where you're coming from. When you die, you will need a Logi bro immediately or else you will stop playing and look at the kill board. You will no longer be an asset to your team squad. On an even crazier note, your mic will turn off? So that way you will not be able to communicate from where the shot(s) came from. Snipers will be deadlier, medics neccessary, tanks beast, communication essential for survival. I know it will be intense, so there, sudden death. Maybe a limit on vehicles say 2 tanks per side, 3 lavs per side? No installations besides a Supply Depot.

Yes? Can you roll with this? Idea here is that you don't want to die and work as a unit in team chat. Winner gets isk and sp, while losers gain sp only.

Terry Webber Turalyon Plus 106	Posted - 2013.06.12 15:26:00 - [1] - Quote This idea got buried in this thread so I decided to make my own. Acquisition is where players can steal biomass for clones, weapons, vehicles, or other assets from the opposition. Stealing weapons, equipment, and modules would be possible through KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf's method of stealing clones, whose thread detailing it can be found here. As for vehicles, MAG provides a good foundation for Acquisition, even though DUST 514 isn't like other first-person shooters. The game mode in MAG, which is of the same name, has the attackers try to capture the defending teams' APCs. More details about it can be found here.The DUST 514 version of Acquisition will be slightly different, however. The attackers must steal as many vehicles stored in the defender's motor pools as they can and load it into their MCC before a timer counts down the time left to make the motor pools stop spawning random vehicles. If they steal all the vehicles or a portion of them before the timer runs out, they win. The defender can win if they destroy the MCC or have all their vehicles after the timer reaches zero. Both sides can fire a rechargeable, single-shot EMP weapon to stop the vehicle, fight off the opposition, and drive it to their base or MCC when it comes back online. What do you guys think?

Terry Webber Turalyon Plus 112	Posted - 2013.06.14 02:56:00 - [4] - Quote Anymore support for this? CCP might like it if they see it.
Terry Webber Turalyon Plus 113	Posted - 2013.06.15 18:15:00 - [5] - Quote This game mode could potentially lead to many tears for all you plunderers out there.
FroO Bg SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 3	Posted - 2013.06.15 19:32:00 - [6] - Quote Yes please! xD We defenatly need more game modes and if this game mode does come I still think that they will need to put up more game modes for us and for the game not to become more repetetive than it is already.
Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon Plus 958	Posted - 2013.06.15 21:56:00 - [7] - Quote I support this. +1. This would be particularly good with a better looting system and a Skirmish 1.0 type mapstyle, where it's progressive and there are clear attackers and defenders.
Poplo Furuya Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 15	Posted - 2013.06.15 22:13:00 - [8] - Quote A game mode which provides a solid focus is sorely needed, anything to get away from the complete lack of meaningful strategy in what's currently available.

Thanks for the Skirmish 1.0 suggestion. I add that to the OP.

Really, there needs to be some form of meaningful gameplay to break the mindless grinding. Something that's a bit more meaningful, or at least allows for more strategy.
Terry Webber Turalyon Plus 121	Posted - 2013.06.18 15:33:00 - [12] - Quote Any more support?
Flint Beastgood III GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 9	Posted - 2013.06.18 16:41:00 - [13] - Quote Yep, +1. I was an avid MAGamer throughout the MAG beta and somewhat after release. This type of game mode would be great. BUT I would prefer to see ALL bugs gone before any more content releases.

Your sudden death idea might be a way to implement one squad missions like recon, sabotage, etc. on an enemy's district. But that's for another thread as we are a little off-topic. Any more thoughts?

Terry Webber Turalyon Plus 233	Posted - 2013.07.10 19:39:00 - [23] - Quote I briefly played a demo of MAG and the shooting mechanics seemed fine to me. But we're getting a little off-topic. The game mode I mentioned would bring a little more variety to this game.
