alright, you guys didn't seem to enjoy the king of the hill idea, so here's a new one.  I have no idea what to call it though.

Basically, there's an arena containing all the players,  one player is selected (randomly) to play the "boss".  This person has health times the amount of people there are.  So say he's playing Assault, he has 565 health and there are 10 people, he will have 5650 health.  get it_

This person also has some added benefits for being the boss.  I.E. Larger heat capacity, more weapon damage, etc.  also, this "boss" player is versing every other person on the server.  and once you're dead, you're dead for the rest of the round.  Round ends when everyone is dead or "boss" is killed.  I know, this is very similar to deathmatches in certain parts but I personally think this is a different concept that (sort of) revolves around it.  

anywho, share your feedback

Your point being_ Many games have done the boss fight style. One of the most well-known being TF2.

I'd see nothing wrong with Hawken adapting its own version of the style. Perhaps with a powerful rogue drone created by the collective drones already being made.

I guess it is pretty similar to that game, but as Zdragow said, a lot of games have adopted that idea already.  I got my inspiration off the (now gone) game mode from TF2.  I think it'd be cool though if a player controlled it because players behave much more differently from bots AND because they get to use the default mechs with buffs, people should know it's strengths and weaknesses.

anyhow, it's just a rough idea, as i already said, feedback is much appreciated

Yeah, I suppose that's true. Shoot, one of my favorite gamemodes out of TF2 is VSH, so I do like idea. It's all in the execution, I guess is what I'm getting at. Last I heard, members of the HAWKEN team are working on Outrise, so there couldn't be too much overlap. Would still be pretty fun, though.

So... it's like Juggernaut from the Halo series_

[Infyrno]

yeah, more or less.  you just kill the big "boss" guy to win.  Only, as the boss, you have some buffs, such as increased weapon damage and health (duh, its' like 8 on 1), and some other abilities or the like
