You know what I'm talking about? Greed, Slaughter, Sudden Death, and Capture the Flag.

I have absolutely no clue what each of these game modes mean. I tried to search for them but to no avail. Does anyone know how each these game modes are played?


Also, is there anyone who would like to play in one of these game modes? After 1000s of melee games I think we should take a small break and play some of these game modes because I think it would be fun for a bit. Who's interested? Leave your sn and gateway you play on and I'll come to catch you (but find out how these game modes are played first)

I'm the fucking king of CTF FFA :D
I was soooo close to winning a 4 player FFA CTF by taking everyones flag ;D Was vs Stimey Shadow and overtlogic I think Matrix dropped my way to ovlos and shadows flags, then I took stimeys but my dship died to his mass bcs in my base just when I unloaded

CTF = basically you get a flag on a beacon a couple of minutes into the game and then you try to protect your flag and steal others (by bringing scv to it and taking it to beacon).

Greed I think is just some money whoring thing.
Slaughter just most kills I guess, sudden death is like all the units on low ground dies after a set amount of time I think :o or minerals run dry, I can't remember!

Greed is the first player to reach a set number of minerals. I think default is like 10,000.

Slaughter is first player to reah a set number of unit kills.

Sudden Death..dunno.

Capture the flag is Awful. You each start with a beacon near your base with a flag in the middle of it. Then, it's the first player to retrieve the other player's flag wins. Only a drone/scv/probe can pick up enemy's flag. It might be a more interesting game if you set a time limit before you are allowed to capture your friend's flag.

You did not mention team melee, so I am guessing you know how that setting works.

Edit:: FrozenArbiter is a speed typist.

they had a sudden death league on OGN a few years ago for fun, it was pretty boring.

the players played random because they were for fun games, which I've always hate. The "for fun" games become awful when the players start sucking ass with races they don't know how to play

anyway I think ssamjang won that league? I forgot T_T

There should be special maps for these modes. Then it could work, but maybe not.
