View Full Version : Why no FFA mode?

I enjoy all the empire vs. empire stuff but sometimes I just want to have a right proper rumble with anyone and everyone. What if one zone in the game was a FFA (Free For All) zone. As son as you enter you can shoot and be shot by anyone from any faction. It would also be a way to "duel" with members of your own faction that you just can't stand.
FFA, to me, just feels more like a pure FPS.

This isnt a pure FPS, and well arent you a ps3 player anyways? Sorry man but I cant take your posts around here seriously anymore after reading this and a few of your last.

Well first of all it sounds like it would be instanced and we all know the communities view on that.
Secondly, you can have FFAs within the game, you just have to organize it with other players. A little social interaction never hurt anybody.
Thirdly, if you really want a game with multiple modes, then once again, play one. We don't have to turn PS2 into every other game out there. Kind of destroys it's uniqueness when it's just like every other game.
Can we take away Bronze's ability to make threads?

No one else ever felt the need to kill half their own faction? Maybe it's just me but I'm constantly skirting a lockout.

You could TK your entire faction if you invest enough time and money into alternate accounts to avoid getting banned/grief locked.
Follow your dreams!

Ya pretty much and go ahead and tk anyone u want..youll be spending more time clicking your trigger with nothing happening then enjoying the true game.

Exactly. I don't see what the strong opposition is to having a small arena where everyone can vent some steam and play some FFA rounds.
I mean if I couldn't die IRL I'd go berserk at everyone and everything.

bronz, you can, squad up with the people you want to TK, and go crazy with them

You don't get grief for attacking people in your squad usually which is why I used to duel people in my squad when we were bored.
I'm with everyone else pretty much. I don't think there should be a FFA place. I can't really see how that could help with the territory battle system or resources. Would you get anything in this FFA arena? To me it sounds like a distraction.

Actually I see your point. With that in mind a FFA mode wouldn't really be needed. Topic over, please close it mods.

1000 player FFA, sounds fun, not.
To me, an asymmetrical game like PS would be terrible for FFA. It would come down to who brings the bigger gun, more often than not. So basically, everyone would probably die to maxes, unless someone is ridiculously good with rockets and another is terrible with powered armor.
On another note... Bronze, how much of PS did you actually play?

I played a lot of PS at various points in it's life, both long before the expansion and long after. This idea actually came to me the first time I played PS when I noticed you couldn't "duel" another player the same way you could in other MMOs. There is often a lot of inter-outfit fighting even on the same sides and I really feel some way to legitimately compete against willing members of your own faction (make it a VR simulation or something, like the vehicle training room) would release a lot of pent up stresses and such.
In the army, for example, soldiers are often forced to box or wrestle each other. This is a similar kind of idea, at least in my mind.

Bronze, just when I thought you were not trolling and actually semi-cool, I read more pure trolling BS.

on a side note i like the idea of outfit 'arenas' and i hope if and when outfit structures are implemented they will be that elaborate.

FFA = low population server filled with "tough guys" and end up being less then profitable.

can you do what you do with the devs but in reverse for him... make his text the same color as the backround, so he gets the satisfaction of posting, but the rest of the community doesnt have to gouge our eyes out after every time he posts.

^^^ The only problem with that is it won't stop people from highlighting his stuff and reading it. It's just like the ignore function. Sure, you can't see the poster's crap but you can see that they posted something and, humans being curious animals, it just gnaws at you. Like a trainwreck, it's shocking but you just can't.. look.. away...

I would like a more detailed VR room though. Testing weapons and ideas in there was kind of a pain in the ass when that "friendly fire" popup kept showing up.

FFA, no, larger and open VR area for weapons would be nice.

Because he made stupid suggestions (read: the guy was an obvious troll) again and again and again, stuff that has no place in a game like ps. He was warned too, I think.
