Poll: Titan mode (just an idea)

[Confidingtripod]

I've been thinking lately, there is a few games that sport a supposed last-stand or hoard mode, you all know it: minimal number of players taking on a huge number of opponents, but what if there was a mode of the opposite?

The way I pictured it to play out in an ideal situation would be a fair number of players pitted against one giant super-powered opponent, and I dont mean giant as "larger than normal" I mean actually stomping around trying to crush players, have each rounds difficulty ramp via rank of opponent, and I know some games employ this style of system, hell shadow of the collossus was built around it, but imagine it in a game like Halo or Half-life, being stepped on by a grunt or eaten whole by a headcrab would be quite funny in comparison to the usual deaths in such games.

But I digress, if a mode like this were employed in a game you like, online or off, would you play it or find it annoying?

And here I was all prepared to talk about Battlefield 2142 and its awesome Titan mode, instead well... whatever.

I thought you meant that Unreal Tournament III mod. Sadfaec

There was actually an Unreal Tournament 1 mod, called "Monster," I think, that was rather similar. One player would be the "Monster" and have ludicrously powered-up versions of all the weapons plus enormous health; they'd also be pumped up like they're on steroids and move like a dump truck. The other players would try to bring them down; whoever successfully killed the Monster would then become the new Monster. It was a fun little gametype.

It has been done quite a lot. Including servers in TF2 which pits you against Saxton Hale.

You know, there's a whole genre that bases its endgame around this concept; you might have heard of it - MMORPG...

Sounds like Halo's Juggernaut.

I'm sorry if you were led astray, I had no-idea the name was taken

The idea would be similar but rather than the player being overpowered it would be an AI of one of the usual enemies, it would also be a giant version, this is because that would add to the element of the players trying to take down some gigantic opponent rather than just high difficulty

Is there an option of "probably do it several times for a laugh with some friends?"

Because, that's probably what a lot of people will do.

There is now
