Bitfly Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Alright, so let me start by saying that the new defense maps added with update 7.7.3 are awesome, especially the big outdoor map which has inspired me with this idea. The new outdoor map, the one with a Corpus base in the mountains, really encourages you to move around a lot, which is awesome for this big open map. But protecting an artifact kinda makes it all pointless. You have a big and open area, but if you go explore anything or sometimes just go to pick up a mod, you end up dooming the mission because the artifact is left unprotected. I would like to see similar missions where you can move around without worrying about an artifact. So, this new mission type would be much like a normal Defense mission, and would be using similar maps. However, instead of protecting an artifact, it's all about surviving as many waves as possible. New map designs needed for this idea, to avoid people camping "safe spots" Here's what I expect from the mission. Feel free to add to this list: - Kill the enemies to advance, full team death will result in fail - Increasing difficulty (more enemies, higher levels) - Enemies know where you are - Extraction per 5th wave - Unique maps (CQC and open maps alike) Feedback appreciated. If you like this idea, vote up my post to attract attention and/or leave a comment. I will be adding more to this post as I receive feedback Edited April 15, 2013 by Bitfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackchaosvortex Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Ha i thought about the same thing when doing defence missions with you, i actually think defending the artifact sometimes is a burden cause you have to rush from one point to another to protect it. I'd like to see a survival game mode aswell. Thumbs up from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuentinW Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 This would be great!"Same amount of enemies, same increase in difficulty." - except for this; protecting the artifact is what makes it difficult. If you could camp somewhere and just defend yourself we would need much more enemies per wave to warrant the rewards.(sry for my english, not native) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sry for my english, not native) Obviously my idea needs tweaking, just wanted to make it as simple as possible and taking examples from what people already know. I don't think there should be more enemies, as advancing to higher waves will do that - provide more enemies. I don't like the idea of people camping spots where enemies can't reach them though, so would probably need special maps designed with this in mind. EDIT Remade the post for better composition. Added some things Edited April 15, 2013 by Bitfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pecanin Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Other day when playing high level defense mission all of sudden i was reminded of that last scene in (i think) Alien v Predator movie ...you remember one ...where Predators are standing on top of Pyramid and camera zooms out to show horde of aliens climbing towards top .. Last Man Standing ... Your idea is something similar here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GT59zmF_Oo 1:29 Edited April 15, 2013 by pecanin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemoTheClown Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I fully support this idea. I hate the idea of not be able to explore the maps, I would like to be able to move around a lot without worrying about an artifact if you need to go pick up a mod half way through map, away from artifact (Of course you could wait up for the round to finish, but it's kinda impossible at every 5 waves were u can choose to leave or stay fighting, and who's patient enough?). A open wide area with a some boxes you quickly can hide behind for some ancient and such, while regaining your shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
