A group of us in the random lockdown queue a while back got everyone in our match to go recon. We basically passive-aggressively got our one striker to go recon and that game was really close, plus a whole lot of fun.
Fun Match Ideas?

You can do that with a group of fun people, no need for a bribe

@Fangel
I wish i could have played. I would love to work on my recon v recon game.
(All I get to work on is my recon v striker)

Ideas Anyone?
Indeed. One sour apple (or bad one) can mess up the whole game. Not all lockdown players want "fun"
For example, one group wanted us to play with the classes we were given and a lot of people agreed, but as soon as the match started, everyone switched class (except for me)
Though one time I had a group with only recons on my team and the other team was frantically searching for us :P.
Does anyone have a solution to make this situation a reality?
More importantly, what about fun match ideas/situations?
Here are some basic ones
- All [insert class here]
- No [insert class here]
- You need to use the class you started with
- Only Charge Attack
- Only [insert weapons/gear here]
Note that some can be mixed:
Specifically:
All recons, only bombs (as in no guns or swords fyi), and all gear has to be bomb related (ie mad bmber, mercurial demo, chaos?) or has stats that improve said bombs or you will have to equip proto. Have funnnnn!

Something besides Strikers vs other Strikers
Shard bomb battles, valiance charges only, autogun lines only, bomb only strikers, etc.

Moar Ideas
-All Ancient Plate with Troika line only (preferably the freeze variant).
-Playing "tag" with strikers with cutter line only (healing is allowed if you are "it"), no hiding in the smelly locker rooms
-All guardians. No bombs. Figure out the rest for yourself :P
- Note: This mode is meant to be played with large numbers of players.
You must be in the range of the guardian shield at all times. If not then you shall not be able to move in any way (movement with a BTB, striker boost, etc.) but you can attack with your weapon and shield, provided it doesn't move you. Number of Total Guardians depend on size of the match, but is generally 1/2 of the size of each team (when the team number cannot be divided by two into a whole number ie 7/2=3.5, round up one. [so 7/2=4]). Guardians cannot attack. You cannot directly attack the guardians unless they drop their shield or are shielding themselves without the AoE protection/healing circle. A guardian with a broken shield cannot be attacked unless their shield was broken when not in the presence of the AoE protection/healing circle.
This encourages recons due to the anti-movement thing, so you'd be seeing a guardian with recons spamming bombs or you could see a hoard of recons suddenly appearing inside a shield. Also you could potentially have guardians fake the other team out and distract them.
The downside is that the slow movement of guardians could make some boring movements, with the winning team usually having guardians with Merc Demo/MSI. Also guardians wouldn't get to fight often.
Most regular lockdown players won't care. I'm sitting on 1.5k Krogmos and I don't even play that much anymore.
