New mod idea: Saber Arena

[Soul-Burn]

Many of you probably find the name similar to Quake's "Rocket Arena"

 

Well, my ideas are similar.

 

When you join a server on some map, you can choose between about 3-4 arenas per map, and in each arena, the game plays like "Duel Mode".

 

This is to prevent the annoying wait time when playing on a Duel server, lets more variation, and eventually be better.

 

Each map will be made however the mappers want, tho there should be these types of arenas available:

1on1 sized maps.

Big "Clan Arenas" for 4on4 battles.

 

Also, I think that when this mod, if ever, comes out, the bug with g_forcepowerDisable should be sorted out so ppl could have SJT (Saber, Jump, Throw) duels without being afraid someone will use other forces.

Hmmmm, this is very interesting, because I was _just_ discussing this idea yesterday in the IRC channel. Pretty much exactly the same concept, too..."Rocket Arena" was even mentioned by someone else as an analogy (though I've personally never played it).

 

My idea was that you'd have maps with identical arenas...say, for an 8 player map there would be 4 rooms for battles to take place in. Then each pair of duelists would be placed in seperate arenas to duke it out. The winners of each battle would go to a "winners' bracket", the losers to a "consolation bracket," and the dueling would continue until everyone had competed and there was a winner and a consolation winner.

 

Might be something we could work on. Who knows. I'd be interested to see how well we could actually implement the interface so that people don't get stuck spectating too often.

Now your idea sounds great too.. but it's a bit different.

 

Maybe a mod with both styles

 

Either a 4 diff arena "casual" dueling.

Or a tournamenet mode that simply has a few maps so ppl can compete without waiting.

 

Now we just need a team to make these mods

You guys have Rocket Arena all wrong. In it, there or usually 2 or 3 dual arenas. And then one clan arena (sometimes there is that stupid red rover mode).

In jedi knight you should have like 2 or 3 duals and then another map for team FFA. I've got quite a few ideas for this type of game, so if you need suggestions (or anyone in that case), email me at fr1edrice@hotmail.com
