Maybe an AI stripper running around that you have to kill? Or even an unarmed player who just has to avoid everyone while they're the Skank?

This I would play.

Wait, so after years of complaining at people being rude and abusive over the mics in multiplayer, suddenly you are praising it because it is attached to this game?

To be honest I don't know what is so special about this game anyway...
I think the reason people are excited about this one is that over the top trash talk is part of the premise, for Duke Nukem. Think of it this way - the sort of talk you see at a WWE match is appropriate there, but not on the golf course. The trash talkers have simply been given their game.

As for why it's special - DK3D was out when I was at university, and it was THE party game. The whole multiplayer was almost Spy vs Spy in it's concept - it wasn't a matter of out-strafing or sniping, but a matter of putting that laser-triggered mine pointing at the door, so when they opened it they had just enough time to hear "beep beep BOOM!" and then the laughing from down the hall. Or people coming out of the ducts over your head, and so on.

Well, if this thread is any indication, there will at least be no shortage of bad puns.

I kind of hope that there's a mode where everyone plays as Duke. That kind of stuck with me in DN3D. (That's why it's called Dukematch.)

After the cemetery in Saints' Row 2 was called Mourning Woods, I thought we could put this joke to rest. I had hoped. But again, I was denied.

Capture the Stripper? Assault? There aren't any limits when it comes to the Duke.
Throw in a good-natured version of "Smear the Queer" and we'd have a perfect controversy platform.
Lol, I could use one of those games, if just to get the video-game-haters to stop trying to force everyone to believe pokemon is the spawn of Satan and look at a game that actually IS offensive.

I can see where you are coming from with the WWE comparison, but it still doesn't seem right to me...

I don't know much about Duke Nukem 3D, because I was only one when it came out. But I just haven't seen much really impressive from DNF so far, and some people only seem to be excited for it because of all the hype from it being in development for 14 years (I think so anyway). I bet if it hadn't been in development for so long, it wouldn't get nearly as much publicity, or people praising it. (Although from what I have seen, I do like the comedy aspect of it).

I might be inclined to get it though, just to see what all the fuss is about, and if it really lives up to its name.

Being it's Duke Nukem, it won't let us down!

Ha Assault. Maybe a mode where you can only throw crap?

Back in the day, there were 3 FPS games I loved most where the multiplayer was hella fun. Duke 3D was one of them. The other 2 were Goldeneye 007 for N64 and Half-Life (not HL2) Deathmatch with fun skin mods (like Kermit the frog, humorous soundbyte packs and creative Level Mods. So having said that, I can't wait to see how DNF's MP turns out. Fun times await.

Mourning Wood is so unoriginal now! It's been used in like 2 other games, Saints Row 2, and Fable 3. I still love it though :D!

XBL, meet DNF. DNF, meet XBL.

Probably a marriage made in heaven. I know I'll keep my mics turned off.
More like a marriage made in hell. I know what game i won't be buying... This game seems to be made exactly for the XBL crowd. Tits, excessive explosions, grotesque aliens, and a hyper-masculine hero. It's like everything that i thought i wanted in a game just got subverted.
I could not agree more, we need less dirty shit like this in video games and this is why video games are turning to crap and aren't considered as being serious anymore. Not to mention I follow the Bible and this offends me (as it does you.) It only encourages people to be retarded.
Maybe you could... I don't know... get over it?

Or is Poe's law at work here?

they need something like "bling fling" where each team only has gold watches and other jewelry at each other.
