If FPS Games Could Trade Multiplayer Maps/Game Modes

[zerooneeleven]

Which maps/game modes would you want to switch up on FPS games? I'd personally like to see if Battlefield: Bad Company 2 maps and Rush mode could make Black Ops somewhat more enjoyable than it is now.


Also: what would you think if FPS developers announced cross-game map support, i.e. Treyarch announced Black Ops can now play every CoD: MW map (graphically updated). Would you buy this as DLC? Or should this be free?

I'd like to see a free for all deathmatch mode in TF2. I know that Arena mode exists, and that it is possible to turn on friendly fire at the start of a round, but neither of those is a full on Deathmatch mode. Of course, the only reason I want it is for server priming -- something to keep people playing while you wait to get at least a 6v6 going, not something to play as a standard game mode.

Edit: As for the second question, this used to be quite simple for the fanbase to do with mod support. I remember playing a Quake III map in the original F.E.A.R., and there have been other games that got this kind of port job. Unfortunately, modding tools are less common in the age of DLC.

If there were a non-team mode in TF2, the medic would be pretty useless in it. Actually, some servers turn on friendly fire during the "waiting for players" time.

I might like to see Battlefield try Unreal Tournament's control-point system, if only to make some desperate change to the standard Conquest.

This is true, but I'm talking about playing for 20 minutes or so while you wait for the server to fill up, not a minute or so while you wait for everyone to pick their class and loadout. While the medic would be pretty useless, it wouldn't be much different from how useless the engineer is in Arena mode, and I'm talking about a server option that kicks in when you go below 12 people, not something that would be mixed in with the other game types.

While this isn't strictly about FPS's.
I'd like to see the 'Wanted' mode from AC:B in TF2.
Granted this has kind of been done in Garry's Mod (Trouble in Terrorist Town) though it's not perfect.

Every multiplayer shooter should have the Virus game mode from Timesplitters

You, sir, have yet to try out the Gunslinger!
