So we have lockdown which is all focused on capturing the points more than fighting(though it has a lot of fighting). Then we have blast network, a more complex bomberman. But I want just a classic PvP type of thing. There will be a few types of this.

1. 2 teams on a map seperated at different corners. Timer goes off and you engage in combat. No point or anything. You WANT to fight and get the most kills. Team with the most kills by the end of the time wins. (or provide a cap)

2. 2 teams on a map at different corners. Everyone has only one life, so preserve it. Team with the last people standing wins. ( this will go fairly quick) If people run away to let the time go by they will engage in a sudden death if everyone is not dead. Sudden death will be much smaller maps with very few obstacles to hide behind. Everyone has only 10 heart and you can not regenerate.

3. 1v1 with all the rules above but a smaller map.

I'm not sure if this should include the 3 classes of recon,guardian, or striker yet.

Super Brawl

It would come down to hacking, slashing, and bullet spamming; all of which can be very easily repeated endlessly until you die from being vomited on by inside out cantaloupes.

Try this on for size.

Having to move and capture points, along with classes is what balances pvp.

How would a sword get close enough to a gun?

Another possible issue: on LD, teams have their safe zones, wich reduces spawn camping and gives time to change class.
What if I kill 1 single guy, then sit in my base and wait to win?

Super Brawl was from beta. The Roarmulus twins were added after the beta. Any semblance of balance Super Brawl had was removed with the advent of the Polaris.

Classic fighting could be

Classic fighting could be fun, but it'd really need to be otherwise the same as LD, because "kills to win" simply isn't fair (eg, bombers) and would just force people into elitist loadouts, and reducing the number of players. Ofc, the problem would also be taht w/o the class gimmicks that make LD so interesting, it'd probably be largely ignored.

There's a reason they haven't put it in yet. I'd think something better would be the duels suggestion, or just having a wee open arena akin to the ATH *shrug*

Then how about everyone just gets a set loadout? It won't make it a battle of who has the best weapons with a set loadout it will be all skill. And Luguiru please don't start advertising your ideas on my thread here. Just because you don't like mine doesn't mean you could completely dis it and advertise yours. I would like suggestions to make it better. So is a set loadout a good idea?

I also thought of a new PvP type which would be a battle of the gunners. And polaris would not do good here since it is slow slow. Only guns allowed here.

If the slowness of the Polaris matters as much as you say it does, then you would wonder why it is one of the most commonly used weapons in lockdown. Without LD classes, it becomes even more powerful.
