Wingman- A new Colosseum game

This game is dedicated to Blue-Phaze, who has had the best idea for a Colosseum game yet.

So, if any of you have played Gears of War, you might be familiar with the "Wingman" game in it. I've decided to adapt it to Spiral Knights.

Basically, you have 5 teams of 2, with lockdown classes, tiers, etc. Your wingman and you can not be the same class (to discourage double strikers/ double recon teams dominating, or double guardians being nearly invincible). The 4 teams spawn on 4 different edges of the map, with one team spawning in the middle. The goal is to eliminate the others teams while staying alive.

Buy in: 200 cr per person

Teams formed based on gear level/star (I know this is broken, so if someone has a better way, please share.)

5 rounds, 2 minutes each. If more that one team is alive at the end, they are teleported into the middle of the map, gates pop up around the area, they given half health, and after a 3 second countdown they begin a deathmatch.

REVIVES: If you go down, the players who are attacking you have 5 seconds to kill your teammate before you revive with full health. So keep your teammate alive and at full health, they are your ticket to immortality.

The team alive at the end gets 1 point, everyone else gets none.

The team with the most points at the end of the round gets 500 cr per person, the team with the 2nd most amount of points gets 300 cr per person, and the 3rd place team gets 200 cr per person. If there is a tie in points, the exact same scenario as the deathmatch above happens.

Fight to the death in the arena!

Do it for your overlord!!! Mwuhahahahaha!

Got an idea... force the players to drop all their gear and go to T1 level.

Achievement

This deserves an achievement. Upon winning a game, you unlock the

"Be my Wingman" achievement. ^_^

I had lots of help, actually, I just created the basic ideas, and you guys kept giving me inpiration for tweaks and new additions (specially you, Aemicus).

So, ontopic,
I never played Gears of War, but this sounds kickass. I'm sure this could turn out even more popular than Lockdown.
I have always been a fan of Deathmatch games, but a Duo Deathmatch sounds much more interesting than Free-for-All.
Suggestions:
-Instead of starting another Deathmatch if there is a tie in points at the end of the match, the team with the most damage given should be first placed, while the other gets the second place. Tthis would be the solution for cases when the match score ends on 5x0x0x0x0 (one team dominating all rounds), or else they would have a deathmatch between 4 teams and this could extend the game for a bit longer than it should last.

-If someone leaves the game, their wingman should get some kind of boost, or else things could get frustrating.

The one problem with the

The one problem with the damage factor is it would be unfair to guardian/recon teams. And yeah, maybe the wingman could get one auto revive, and increased health and damage. (T1 5 pips, T2 10 pips, T3 20 pips, and VH damage for all of them)

You guys basically stole my suggestion from a couple of months back. I don't know why no one commented on my suggestion though. :(

Whoops, sorry about that. I promise you that I didn't see it, but if you want me to put it into the OP because you feel like I jacked it or something, I'd be happy to.
