TDM, CTF, DM....they're good but everything has them. What different modes have you enjoyed over the years?

Gotta say Halo (franchise) has some great ones. The game mode customization made for some cool user created modes like Grifball and Zombies. Even the defaults are epic: Oddball is always tense, and Assault was one of my favorites in H2. Based off that, Bombing Run in Ut2k4 seemed sweet but I never played it outside of bot matches. On the same "sports-like" style, Tribes 2 Team Rabbit was also incredible (think Rocket League + motherfucking jetpacks and grenade launchers). Would love to see a new FPS in that genre since the indie team rabbit title I was following died.

i dont play many online games now but cloak and dagger in mgo is a lot of fun. i also liked ut99s assault mode when i was a little kid. i like it when one side has different objectives to the other

ut99 assault was sick. asymmetrical modes are the best... or when the objective is the same but the two teams play entirely different like Natural Selection. i should try cloak and dagger i only put in a few rounds of the TDM mode once it launched on PC.

The normal mode in Splatoon is cool. Spelling out map control as a quantifiable mechanic and actually changing your mobility is a fun idea. Especially in the maps they added later where they transformed at certain points and could flip the momentum of the battle, or had moving parts that reacted differently to being inked or changed your tactical options. Love it

Yeah. The idea that you can effectively contribute to your team without having to be successful in deathmatch is cool.

the Sticks & Stones mode in blops 1&2 is the absolute height of mp gaming for me. youre restricted to just the Crossbow, ballistic knife, and tomahawk, and hitting someone with the tomahawk will bankrupt them and take away all their points. the last moments of every match are pure chaos as everyone tries to nail the first place person. it's cool to see something that's all about disempowerment and bullshit losses that's actually fun to play

this mode kicked rear end. I'll never forget watching a guy Hail Mary a tomahawk over the complete length of the boat to nail the lead guy for the last kill

jk2 had that jedi master mode where one player would get a saber and maxed out force powers while everyone else had to try to take him down w/ the guns, he'd drop the saber on death and whoever grabbed it became the new master. it was fun as gently caress

People did cool things with the zombie mode. Like one jump rope map where the humans had to jump over the vehicles zombies were ramping at them

Kane and Lynch 2 was a bad game but had really fun multiplayer. You had a team of crooks stealing bags of money from AI cops. Once you picked up the bags you could be betrayed by your teammates while waiting for the getaway van to leave. If you betray someone it marks you and everyone gets a bonus if you die. If you get killed you become a cop and can go hunt people down.

Well the word got around they said this kid is insane, man
Banged in the mouth and now he's got AIDS, man
CS gun games with ridiculous team sizes on a tiny map to the point where half of the players are swinging knives around wildly and successfully stealing levels from people while the other half are firing guns around wildly and successfully scoring several headshots in a row inside the average two seconds before instant death while a cacophony of GOTCHA BITCH and BOOM HEADSHOT voice clips loops endlessly in the background
