One thing that I think has been missing in this mod for a while is ridiculous mayhem and the chance for one player to make a big difference.
So, I suggest a new game mode: Last Man Standing.
It works like this: No teams. Everyone is spawned in a random location. If you kill/damage someone, you are healed. Your multi will be based on how long you last. Let's say there are 6 minute rounds. If you are the last one standing, you get an x5. Then it scales down depending on how long you lasted. So if you last at least 5 minutes you get an x5, 4 minutes x4, etc.
For the healing, I've got two different ideas so far. One idea is to gain a flat amount of hp on kills. Another is you heal a percentage of the damage you do. I think the second idea will help people feel like they are contributing more and will give a bonus to even low-strength players. So for the second idea, say if you hit someone and do 60 points of damage. Maybe you get healed for 6 points.
Since you can calculate who is actually fighting and who isn't, you won't get a multi for a particular time period unless you were fighting for a good portion of that time period. So let's say you lasted 4:30, but you didn't fight for a whole minute. You would get an x3 instead of an x4 for being a dirty coward. Since I'm not sure exactly what the devs can or cannot check for, it's hard to say exactly how this would work. We know that they can check for proximity, so that can be used to determine who is actually fighting or not. Also, I'm wondering if it would be possible to check for leechers. Things like, being close to someone and not doing anything. That would stop groups of people from hiding off on the map somewhere. Another way to easily solve that problem though would be to make all of the maps arena-type maps.
Horses will be unusable for obvious reasons.
If it goes to MOTF, the person who caps is the winner. Anyone who is alive during MOTF and didn't cap gets a x1 for the round for being dirty, stinking cowards.
I think it would be a nice change of pace compared to the other game modes and has the potential for great heroism and wacky mayhem.
What say you?
