hm i think i was discussing this before with DG & daerithus.. not sure if i was just trippin out on tofu or what not but here it goes:



Dual Duel Team :

- Players join server, pick a teammate, then they get dropped into the battlefield to compete in a deathmatch like environment.

how it'll work?
- think dual duel.. then think arena.. then think deathmatch-like scoring

-players get a designated spawn spot (or random) have 3 second invulnerability (similar to duel)

-upon death player waits for teammate to die (like arena) then they both get dropped into limbo for 3-4 seconds to setup loadouts, then back to the spawn point

-loadouts will be chosen via score menu like duel

-players will be scored by team.

e.g. team1 killed 5 people but died 0 times = 100% efficiency (deathmatch style scoring)



i thought this would be cool b/c u could load this mod on arena maps, and have the right environment for 2 ppl to logon a server and play together, whether it be for practice purposes or whatever.

plus if u could get it done, u could get a lot more people playing , or just a few and it wouldn't take too much to start a game.

anyone think this is feasible? tonight's idea night for oni.. he cant sleep.
maybe this is why 2v2 arena was done?
wtfwtfwtfwtfwtf
oochie, the differnce between 2v2 arena and this would be taht many teams could play othe teams @ once...so that you dont have to sit and wait :-/ plus the maps that would be created would be smaller so it would force teams to play (like duel)
I still don't get what you're saying, you want a mod like that(which there is) or you want a ladder like that? sounds retarded if you're talking about a ladder
wtfwtfwtfwtfwtf
nono not for ladder

just a way to get people playing without having to wait. this idea just came when the frustration of getting a team together to practice set in.

support it or not ;d just wanted to get the idea out, and you really don't know til you try, plus it doesn't really have to be tribes, any game with this idea would be cool (to me,d'no bout n-e one else).

again the limitation with arena is that there are only 2 teams playing, kind of a waste of a server to have only 4 ppl on it playing don't you think?

even if you're round robin-ing with like 5 teams on 1 server, it's not that satisfying b/c ur sitting on the sidelines, cold, while whichever team stays in has a good warmup.

on top of that teams can focus more on teamwork, instead of jus sittin around idling away and getting pissy in observer mode.

also oochie? what mod were you referring to when you said "there already is one"

This would be a good mod and I think it would also help when the servers have a lot of people in them. Mainly because instead of having two teams you would have multiple teams of two. When lods of people are playing this, there would be a lot more competition going on. Also, this mod could help strengthen the teamwork factor.
but make it so leet ppl cough can 1v2 teams =p
lol bolar

well sounds like an alright idea, i used to love going to BF server and play dual duel all the time
ya u still had to wait during dual duel.. that's why it's not too fun.. well it is if ur winning


bolar, if ur teammate dies, it's 1v the world ;D
so go tk ur teammate lol if there're odd numbers mbe u can go in alone ;d
GL getting people to play "duel duel" when they could just play 2v2

Desert-Storm
i'm jus saying have so 1person can challange 2 ppl, so it doesn't HAVE to be 2v2...cuz leet ppl might want a challange 1v2
