I made a game of Tetris, except I dont need a zombie this time, the blocks fall on their own, Ideally I want it to end when 1 player gets to a certain position, but if hes the only one left I need it to keep playing. I don't know what gametype to put it in. Invasion offers the ability to cut off the bottom by means of invasion gates. but everyone NEEDS to be on the same team, because if all the Spartans die, elites win, and same for the elites. I want KOTH, but it makes killing the bottom phases loud and laggy. but there's a scoreboard winner. I want some people's opinions, and if there's a gametype I overlooked, tell me. I ideally want a game that lasts until the last guy is left, then keeps going from that point until he dies or finishes the objective.
Do what I did for my Paintball Assault gametype (I've really got to start posting crap): Make everyone respawn in a "jail" out of the Territory that covers the entire playable area. Last man alive will capture the territory in however much time it takes to capture it, and win.
He doesnt want it to end at one person, he wants it to end when they actually finish it or die. I'd say invasion is your best bet. Any other game just won't work right with what you're trying for.
Why can't you do this with KOTH or territory's? Then you could put a giant window that looks out to playing field and you can make look like actual Tetris aesthetically. I don't know how the game works but judgeing by the "gates" comment you want people to keep moving with one way shield doors? (im guessing people are climbing the falling tetris pieces?) Could just placing them to spawn at later times work? or placed at start then having more then KOTHs or territory's that change to next one, if you get what i mean, So people staying still wont get points. Something like that?
Well then do the exact same thing I just recomended, but with Oddball. Shocking what you can do with the smallest bit of ingenuity, isn't it?
and what happens when everyone dies and is in jail cells? I said that because I assumed he doesnt want to force the game to end everytime that happens.
I cant do a ffa territories can I? and if i have to force everyone to go to one team i'll use invasion.
Safe Havens? I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do so I don't have any clue if these gametypes will work.
