Game Types

from Demigod Forums

Is there only 1 game type for the game, i.e. Kill the stronghold?

I wonder if we can have more game types, e.g. King of the hill, Network Based Capture, Hold and Assualt (similar to Onslaught in UT2004)

I guess this would mean a lot of map making. I'd prefer to have more game types with small number of maps, than a single game type with many maps.

Why not have king of the hill but the objective to win the game is still killing the stronghold?

must of them seem the same as what were playing in some way cause we capture the flags and gotta kill the stronghold which is like all those he suggested in 1 isnt it

Well it's different. King of the hill means you'd have asymetric map where objective is in middle, and rather than 2 factions, you have FFA.

Capture the flag would be different. Currently we have assualt, and you don't have to escort an item back to your base. Most CTF games would not end after a single flag is captured, but would have a score or time limit when the game ends. Currently when we kill the stronghold, that's it. So it's an assult game type.

I don't think FFA would work with this game.  I don't think it was designed with that in mind.  More gametypes would be cool though, multiple gametypes can keep the game feeling fresh for much longer than it would otherwise.

yeah FFA probably won't work well. But we may be able to make an unbalanced team like 2v3 in such a king of the hill game type depending on the map design.

 

I really like the idea of an onslaught type game though, exactly how it's done in Unreal Tournament 2004; where you must control flag by flag and non-linked flags are locked. This dynamically moves the battle focus throughout the map.

I could go for something like that.

I also posted about other game types a while ago but after I saw the beta I think it will be just fine if they wont ship with other game types. It would be awesome if they have sort of an after-release expentoin pack including few game types, as long as it would remain competitive.

the ones which will work best I think will be king of the hill, sort of an onslaught and maybe a TM where the goal is to just kill as many as possible (with less respawn time).
