Crazy Concept - February 19th, 2008

[Plague Bringer]

Zombies.

I saw my old Juggernaut thread, player one's thread for my Gaia idea (with his own ideas weaved in, of course) and various other suggestions of mine that have made some serious conversation, and I though "Hey, perhaps my thoughts aren't all that crazy and a bit respectable..." Then i thought "Nah..." :]

Anyway...

Anyone ever play Halo or Halo 2? Hell, ever play a variety of styles of dodgeball? Well, regardless, I'll present you with my idea...

The teams are either chosen randomly or normally, it makes little difference. The team-stack is an automatic 3:2 favoring aliens, since they're usually not the ones to draw first blood.

Whenever you are killed, you automatically switch teams. Teams would constantly be changing size and skill, creating a calm in the chaos. A balance in the unbalance. Just throwing it out there, I'm being buried by random thoughts and ideas, and thought I should illustrate some of them. Perhaps this'll catch on, I should at least catch player one's interest.

You mean team tag?
Yeah... This is fun game mode... Played a lot of it in mohaa.
But it has one major flaw. The fact that players join to server to try it but matches take only few seconds (minutes if building is counted). Also some of the players let them selfs be killed in order to play on team they like more. No "team empathy" for your current side is created and no one cares witch team wins or loses.

Why it wouldn't work in 3 easy steps:
1. Kill-whore on team A until you die
2. Feed once on team B
3. Repeat as necessary
