What experimental mode would you like to see most in Arena Commander?

TL;DRDuncan Bunting wants asymmetrical or multi-team modes such as an infection-style one-versus-many, while Sean Tracy names Theaters of War and a Goliath-style asymmetrical mode.

The Arena Commander team is made up of people that are super passionate about modding in games. A lot of us come from modding backgrounds, myself included. So I resonate a lot with the old Counter-Strike game mods, Gun Rush being heavily inspired by that. So that's a personal favorite of mine. But I want to explore some more out-of-the-box ideas along similar lines. So I've always wanted asymmetrical teams or multiple teams, something along those lines. The first thing that comes to mind is infection, where you've got one versus 50 or something like that, and that one is super powered. Maybe it's FPS, maybe it's not, maybe it's one tank versus 50 guys just running about, who knows? I want to experiment with asymmetrical gameplay and maybe multiple teams as well, things like that.

Yeah, well, Theaters of War, that's one of them. But beyond Theaters of War, what I'd like to see is, actually, it's funny, similar to Duncan, Goliath mode. Goliath mode is like a 1v4, a 1v6, asymmetrical sort of gameplay. Again, it's kind of expected in Theaters scenarios that we do have asymmetrical gameplay. But yeah, something like a Goliath mode I think is really cool, fun modes like that.
