POLL: new game mode

Post by Originway »

it seems lots of people want a arcade mode where they don't have to micromanage anything at all which means they want a arcade mode instead
should we have this new mode?

By arcade mode, I assume you mean something like a 2d scrolling platform shooter, where your MG viper wheels can pick up upgrades and eventually become a twin gauss dragon tracks, so I'll vote yes.

I think the idea of an arcade mode should be better fleshed out before we even vote on it :P

(Either that or I just missed a thread on said subject).
If you're reading this; you're awesome.

Can this be moved to ideas forum? The topic doesn't seem to have anything to do with balance.

Also, agree that the idea needs fleshing out a lot more - "don't have to micromanage anything" is very vague. Giving units even basic orders could be classified as micromanagement.

What kind of game mode did you have in mind? A mode where players capture control points using units that are delivered from off-world by dropships (much like in away missions from the singleplayer campaign), and that the player with the highest score when time runs out, or the 1st player to reach a target score, wins? (I got that idea from End of Nations.)

Well, there's Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor. That's one game where you don't have to worry about power. Granted, you only take control of a single unit in a deathmatch-style multiplayer mode.
