Invasion FNFs: Thoughts?

#1

Post by The Toxic Avenger » Sat Mar 15, 2014 3:13 am

So, while brainstorming a bit for the next FNF, I thought of possibly having an invasion mode FNF. We've previously had these before, but mainly during the early days of the FNF revival in 2011 (I recall having one on Alpha/Delta way back, before I even joined the FNF team). I'm thinking what the current Zandronum audience, especially the FNF regulars, would think of having the invasion mode be added to the current list of modes we utilize. Note that any invasion FNFs would likely not be survival; we have SNS for that.

Keep it scarce and more on the crazy side and I'm okay with it.

Absolutely no survival, waiting around in spec mode goes against our goals and we'd be stepping on SNS' toes anyway.

I wouldn't mind rare standard invasion sessions though.

I think we're about to see more Invasions on SNS now, so we should see how that goes, first.

Why not just have survival invasion on both, who cares. The more the merrier.

While that would be a good idea, most people who join FNF are going to want to jump right in. Also, I remember back in the last survival invasion FNF I played, we got stuck on Seriously Unrealistic Quake (Delta) for like 20-30 minutes before a mapskip happened (it was at least 3 years ago so my memory isn't great on it). Playing a map for that long is going to possibly drive players away. Plus SNS already has everything survival covered already.

Uh, well if you want monsters to be in... Why not play deathmatch (or any other game mode) with respawning monsters instead? It would keep the essence of FNF.

I always thought of FNF as more of an action-packed PVP, so invasion would feel out of place since it isn't PVP oriented and, for me at least, feels like it can drag on forever. (it's probably just me, though)

Invasion is a great game mode, better suited for anything but Friday
