Playlist system.

My idea is that we use the so-called playlist system from Call of Duty, which instead of making separate lobbies for a certain gamemode, combines a couple of all kinds of modes. I think this allows for a little more free decisioning on what you enjoy playing, yet it combines the very basic elements. I will include the 2.0 gamemodes as well (GGun, Dom and K_C).


Playlist #1 - Competitive.
This 'playlist' features a list of game modes majority of try hards would play. Gamemodes would not repeat one after another, they would kind of go in a 'circle'. These modes are widely preferred by the community, yet they may change.

1. CTF
2. TDM
3. Kill Confirmed
4. Infected
5. FFA

Playlist #2 - Mercenary moshpit
This is a playlist from BO2 (Yus, I got mah idea from there). This one is a bit focused around more interesting and dynamic modes. I'd suggest to play one map, except the gamemodes would change on it, then the map would change. So, you could have some fun. It doesn't feature infected, more focused on the pure core gameplay.

1. Domination
2. TDM
3. Golden Gun
4. CTF
5. Kill confirmed

Playlist #3 - Party games
This playlist has been around for some time, and I myself would call it the most 'entertaining' one. It would feature a few interesting elements in itself. Mostly FFA-themed gamemodes. More new maps.

1. Infected
2. Gungame
3. Golden Gun
4. OITC
5. Kill Confirmed
6. FFA


Playlist #4 - Annihilation
This playlist would be for more casual players all around, based around different experiences. I'd like to see more of the old maps.

1. Gungame
2. Domination
3. Infected
4. FFA
5. CTF

Playlist #5 - Every mann for himself
Title says it all. Maybe not (hue)

1. OITC
2. Golden Gun
3. FFA
4. Gungame
5. Infected

My main reasoning for creating such playlists is so that players have more of a way to choose gamemodes they like, yet keeping them balanced and well rounded-up. From my knowledge, it's best to include multiple modes instead of multiple servers dedicated for a single gamemode, as some have suggested. This keeps the game in a nice balance of the pace. Another suggestion would be change the server's playlist every time it restarts. Along with that, I'm still undecided about the way the players can tell what playlist are they playing. Or maybe even remove it at all?

This system is featured in Call of Duty and provides a decent sort of adaption to the modes, keeping the game in the balance. It wont be like everybody on a server or two.

 

Player count will most likely be reduced in 2.0 (as confirmed by developers).

 

Golden Gun is a seperate gamemode being added in 2.0 which revolves a player using a set weapon (wheat texture on old tp). I have beta tested it, but I still don't have the hang of the way it works.
