Who would be interested in a Last Man Standing mode?

We have Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Team Round Based and Objective but there's no Round based Deathmatch FFA.

Basically it'd be all versus all until only one man is left standing and they would win the round.

If the timer runs out then whoever has the most kills that round wins. If that is equal whoever has the most health wins.

It'd be pretty cool to start with 32 players. It'd be mental to start with and the round would slowly calm down to a stalking match between two players.

It'd be an alternative to normal deathmatch, at the least. It'd promote more tactics in deathmatch, as you couldn't afford to go wild if you wanted to be alive at the end.

But then, if you just camped and hid you could run the risk of not getting enough kills to win in the event of a draw.

What would you all think of this?

I think it's NOT a good idea. I always rush, to kill the enemy quick, but as a result i always die very quickly, because i'm outnumbered. After i'm dead, i would have to wait MINUTES to play again. If you are a camper, you could wait until only a few lads were alive, and kill them. The hectic action would be gone. Also, cheaters, that use the god mode cheat, would win all the rounds.

i like it. but as miller said the camping could get bad. but there needs to be some kind of strategy involved in this game. a 2 or 3 min time limit wouldnt be bad. i know nothing about modding but it seems easy enough to do. i've seen mods that enable respawn or disable respawns, just get dm and turn the respawns off.

by the way god mode is disabled in 1.1 you might want to patch

Um Miller... God mode is diabled now and I did just state a clear reason campers would be penalised.

Besides, I bet you get campers in Round Based TDM and you definitely get them in objective.

The idea of this is to not rush in and die fast, and if that's how you like to play then you'd have the option to not play this mode, wouldn't you? As you already do have the option to not play Objective and TDM games.
