Cool idea, but it does seem quite similar to group duels. I've got some questions though, players don't respawn right? And if everyone from one team dies the other team wins? Also what gear are these TDMs provided with? If players can select their own kit how would this work in a TDM? Will players vote for a kit and the kit with most votes wins? Also do you think it would be popular enough? Like it requires quite a lot of people to have a proper game and if it just doesn't get popular it's kind of a waste?
2 teams, you can choose the team & the kit is voted on through a voting paper. Everyone can vote & most votes win, resulting in everyone having the same kit.
The 2 teams fight to the death, no respawning. Whichever team stands last, wins.
The maps for this gamemode are custom made, so they aren't maps from the 1v1 duels.
I can't possible know whether this will be a strong, living gamemode for a long period of time or not, as there's no way to predict it.
If you think that it won't be too popular, you guys may simply tone down the maximum amount of people per game of TDM down to something like a 6v6 or something.
This gamemode
does track statistics, and has rewards for winning + a "unique" top killer reward for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
Grouped duels are basically the duel requesting system for TDM, meaning that stats aren't tracked. In these games you can fight up to a 5v5, with parties being the method of team choice. The maps used for a grouped duels are the same as the ones used in the regular 1v1's, as the average map is a good size for it. There's no rewards other than "gg"/"wp" for experience.
Or in short:
