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)

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.

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.

soem of the original blizzard ums maps have these sorts of types eg 'king of the hill' , also theres that single player mission where you have to collect 10,000 crystals (and infest as many cc's as possible)

CTF is a fun game mod..
ppl should play it more often ^^
|
Okay if anyone wants to play some of these game types just give me a PM with your account and gateway you're using.

I love Team Melee because it enables me to train my friends who are newbies in the art of StarCraft, or is it in the craft of Star Wars? Anyhoots, they get to see my clicking patterns. I'll make a reaver drop and they'd watch it instead of making more units and buildings in our base. It's fun. The newbies love it.

Yes this is very helpful, I wish that I had learned this way with someone better, but the guy that showed me, I learned a decent amount from too.

I heard that when Boxer played his Sudden Death games he would turtle then use EMP+Nuke or mass Yamato focus fire to win =)

Melee - Standard starting forces and resources, alliances allowed.
Free For All - Standard start, alliances and shared vision are disabled.
One on One - Free For All for two players only.
Capture the Flag - Standard start. Each player controls a flag that appears after a few minutes. The flag location (beacon) can be moved once at the beginning of the game. Flags can only be carried by workers (SCVs, Drones, Probes). Bringing an enemy flag to another player's flag beacon instantly kills the flag owner.
Greed - Standard start. The first player to accumulate the specified amount of resources (Minerals and Gas) wins the game.
Slaughter - Standard start. The player with the most kills when time runs out wins.
Sudden Death - Standard start. The loss of ANY "town hall" (Command Center, Nexus, Hatchery) is instant defeat. Expand carefully!
Ladder - Standard start. Alliances and shared vision are disabled, "Fastest" game speed may not be used, only official ladder maps are allowed, game results are automatically reported. The StarCraft Ladder FAQ contains detailed information on official scoring.
Use Map Settings - Uses the map's preset starting forces, resources, and enables any map-specific Triggers and Objectives.
Team Melee - Same as Melee, but with Team play (shared units) enabled.
Team Free For All - Same as FFA, but with Team play (shared units) enabled.
Team Capture the Flag - Same as CTF, but with Team play (shared units) enabled.
"Standard start" indicates each player starts with one Command Center / Nexus / Hatchery, 4 workers, and 50 minerals.

Playing 2v2 teammelee is also fun^^ (1v1 game that'll be).
Funniest is the start when both players are trying to do different bos like buildpylon-->cancelpylon-->buildpylon^^ Late game one can micro one can macro. Sounds cool, but doesnt work haha

team stuff is just shared units. if there was a competitive level of it, it would be cool. except replays saved from it aren't watchable (bug) :/
CTF is kinda flawed.. cuz ppl just defend their flag a bunch basically which throws off the balance, one player gets huge and destroys the other probably. maybe u could try 1v1 CTF (same race matchups) or 2v2 CTF. chasing down some guy who has a flag doesn't come into play very often but maybe if people got better at it they would focus more on being ready to intercept the flag than just defending it.
greed can be interesting but really if you get in a position where u have to attack to stop them from reaching the goal (N res to win) u probably gonna fail. so it's pretty throwaway in its current incarnation.
sudden death means someone loses all their shit (losing the game) if they suffer 1 hatchery, nexus, or cc death (razing). so basically ppl have to be a lot more conservative, same problem as CTF. might be okay if you love same race matchups, might be worth trying in 2v2s or 3v3s etc. for quicker games.
slaughter is actually somewhat interesting. there is a time limit. if the time limit is reached, the player with the most kills wins. of course this completely changes units because you wan't to avoid giving away too many kills. at the same time, u dont want to lose before time is up either -- u might even try, or be forced to try to win before then. i think this is an improvement on traditional FFAs. it might not be bad for 2v2 play either (with a higher time limit).
