This sounds utterly lame, I know. People who know me are probably thinking "This guy has gone crazy!" or something, but meh...

The idea is a CtF/tag sorta thing. You get all your equipment at your disposal, including your shield. The matches are tiered just like LD. There would be Free-for-All, Random Team, and Guild Team.

--FREE FOR ALL--

I'm going to explain FFA first. FFA would be 4 to 8 players.

Players are spawned in random spots on a arena. (These arenas would be the LD maps without the CPs and team bases.) Any respawns are BN-like, which would have you getting placed in random spots and with a invincibility period. Each CP would become Snipe-Pack Spawnpoint(SPS). I'll explain the SPS after explaining the Snipe-Packs. A Snipe-Pack is a backpack-like carry item, which you grab like minerals and presents. There are two types:

• Small Snipe-Pack(SSP)
  • Attack Speed Decrease: Low
  • Charge Time Increase: Low
  • Movement Speed Decrease: Low
  • 1 point gained every 5 seconds
• Large Snipe-Pack(LSP)
  • Attack Speed Decrease: High
  • Charge Time Increase: High
  • Movement Speed Decrease: Med
  • 3 points gained every 5 seconds

If you haven't guessed it by now, you get points for carrying Snipe-Packs around. The two packs are exactly the same except for the differences above. After picking 1 up, snipes start perching on the Snipe-Pack, and start eating seeds from it. The small one can only feed 1 snipe at a time, but the large one can feed 3 at once. Every snipe fed gives you a point. There is a 5 second delay between feedings, and if you are hit at any time, this 5 second delay resets. Snipe-Packs would show on the map and on the HUD the same way as CPs do in LD, but they would only be shown when they are being carried. (Until someone has found one, you will have to look yourself!)

When you lose your Snipe-Pack, it would vanish. There are 3 ways to lose a Snipe-Pack:

• Dying
• Running out of seeds (Small packs have 40 seeds and large ones have 120 seeds.)
• Taking hits (You lose 3 seeds for every hit taken.)

(With these numbers, 200 seconds, or 3 minutes and 20 seconds, to run out of seeds. A SSP takes 14 hits to empty and LSP takes 40 hits.)

Depending on the total number of players in the match, that limits the total number of SnipePacks.

• 4-5 players: 2 packs
• 6-7 players: 3 packs
• 8 players: 4 packs

Now that I've finished with Snipe-Packs, now for SPS.

SPSs will spawn a Snipe-Pack at the start of the match, and then whenever the current number of packs drops below the total. The type spawned is completely random. When you have 4-5 players, 3 point maps would be chosen. When anything else, 5 point maps are chosen. This is so that you always have atleast one empty SPS to start.

The victor is determined by the scores at the end of the time limit. There could be a score goal like in LD, but I like having no goal, personally.

--RANDOM and GUILD TEAM DM--

This plays the same way as FFA, but with the following exceptions:

• Teams use spawn areas, as in LD.
• SSPs also disarm the wearer's shield, preventing the holder from using it.
• LSPs also disarm, preventing the holder from attacking or defending at all while holding it.
• LD classes included here.
• Obviously, points are global to the team.
• The arena picking is the same as in LD, and all SPSs are active. (3-point maps give 3 snipe packs and 5-point maps give 5 ones.)

01/09/13: Nerfed snipe pack debuffs. Nerfed disarm for SSP (see 3rd reply for why I didn't remove it). Changed "dieing" into "dying".

Constructive feedback is appreciated.
