What I propose is a new coliseum mini game based on the game mode "gun game" from the legendary series Counterstrike.

For those of you who don't know, Gun Game is a game mode, where after each kill, your weapon switches to the next weapon in a lineup and you win by getting a kill with the last weapon.

For the SK version, there would be two modes, "specialist" and "general". In "specialist", you only use one class of weapon (gun, bomb, or sword) while general uses all 3 rotations lined up sword into gun into bomb. The weapon lineup would be the same every game

All weapons are heat 10 with no UVs. Armor and shields are neutral to all damages with neutral status resist.

NO lockdown classes

Arenas would be BN sized super-brawl esque arenas with random respawns and various spike traps and respawning blocks.

Death by environmental damage results in a demotion.

At the center of each map is a medium-slow heal pad to serve as the center of action

Always free for all.

The bomb one has the potential to be an uber failure. First, they are mostly for support, not main damage dealers unless there's a big crowd. And even then, 2 bombers would stare at each other without touching.

@little-juances, That's why I decided to put a slow healing pad in the center of the map. It might bunch people together more (which can be seen in the LD map "mines"). Or, each weapon class could have their most pertinent stat maxed out (ASI for guns, damage for swords, and CTR for bombs) to make games a little faster.

Call of duty referance as well

This also is found in Mw3 called gun game and it could be tweaked. The bombs are a horrabul idea for this, i'd prefer swords and guns. Even tho spiral knights is suppost to be an action rpg it is supported by teamwork (via lockdown) but this could support the fact of being solo like with blast network. It would be interesting to see how they manage to pull this off if they do.

@Deku-Inanutshell, No it isn't a MW3 reference. It just references the same thing MW3 referenced. Valve had it in counter strike first, then it was a mod for CoD, then it was in black ops, and then it was in MW3.

Hurr hurr hurr

"And even then, 2 bombers would stare at each other without touching."

I lol'd.

Anyway, back to the original topic, this could be cool, aside from the already-stated-72-times fact of bombs doing horrible in it. +0.9.
