Like most FPS games such as Half-Life, FEAR, Rainbow Six, and so on, you can join any random server you feel right?
Well my idea is to somehow put it into GW.
There could be CTF, Team Deathmatch, Conquer All (almost like AB except for victory when all points capped) and then whatever.
So then press like ummmm.... "P" or something to open up the server list then join! WHOOPEE!
Maximum server size, 16 players =D
passwords, titles, admins, maps yeha... sweet....
and there you have it!

That would be pretty good I gotta admit but Arenanet probably wont do that.

Just go alliance battle. BTW- this is not an FPS if you haven't noticed. It's an MMO. team deathmatch = pvp (laughs). conquer all... same as AB like you said... CTF and conquer all are actually both combined pretty much in AB. >.>

yeah but you can have 2v2 and more!

scrimmage?

gameshoes3003 · Oct 31, 2006, 01:39 AM // 01:39

yeah, but you actually have to wait for someone for scrimmage in your hall or put someone in as a guest which costs money (for us froogle people who don't want to spend).

forgot to add my "not signed".

Scrimmage fixes all this. It barely costs anything. 50 gold if you split the cost xD. 25 if it's 4 people, and that's only if you're inviting 4 people in or so to battle. Point mooted >.>

Yeah but as if you haven't noticed people aren't always there to just join your game. THat's why if there's jsut the random games, people can join it without dragging their friends or guildies that dont' want to do it.

makes it to easy for hacks if there are servers and admins

/notsigned

Reasons stated above. This is not a FPS. A mesmer for RA will have to do something different for HA or AB. Builds are set up depending on the situation they are in. That shows the difference between people who are skilled, or people who just get lucky enough to fight a team that can't beat them.

DId I ever say this was FPS? No I stated specifically that it could be integrated into Guild Wars. I have no idea where you guys are getting the idea of this being FPS which is totally illogical.
Also why are you talking about builds for RA, HA, and AB? Those are different and for you're "skilled" factor, people have to make good builds for their situation in the small game. Anyway, in RA you will eventually meet the same team twice or more, I actually did in RA face the same team 9 times consecutively. I'm not joking here, so I quit RA for like 20 mintues doing other stuff then came back. I do not see what your argument of this "unbeatable team" against another team that can't beat them.

Also, for the server/admins things, there don't have to be admins. I did not say that these games were dedicated. Admins are not needed if the server is not dedicated. Sure there'll be a host, but why would you want to "mod" the server? Especially when the code for GW isn't even release so you can add onto it. Kind of funny that you guys aren't thinking about this stuff and go with your own flow of playing HL and all that.

We're not being illogical. We're calling your fusion of an FPS standard with an already heavy jump-in-and-join-laden PVP system game. It's not a very good idea, as was pointed out by those who cared to reply if they DID even view the topic.
