Greetings everyone! Lillestoel here, and I figured I'd do a thread on the game modes I hope to see in Far Cry 4! We already know the map editor is making a return, and I think it's fair to guess vehicles will return as well after the strong feedback after Far Cry 3 :)
So, of course, Team Deathmatch, Domination and Capture the Diamond are pretty much obligatory for casual gamers, and these are pretty much safe modes to add to the game and we can all play these by easily dropping in and out, but with the map editor and potentially vehicles should introduce a few new game modes as well IMO. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I was considering making a video about it, but I thought I'd post a thread first to see what people think of these ideas.
Hunters VS Hunters
Basically a game mode where two teams are playing against each other, but instead of focusing on killing each other down on small maps, the goal is to cooperate with your team mates to hunt down animals. An Elephant might give your team 250 points, a Tiger 150 points, a Deer 50 points and an enemy player 25 points :)
For this mode players could create huge maps and place whatever animals they may want to add, on strategic locations. Players in the game could prioritize sniping with a silencer, or maybe a crossbow to not get detected by the animals (as well as enemy players). Would also be cool if animals left footprints in the ground, but I'm assuming this would be an all new feature they would have to make for the game and implement, so I'm not sure how realistic that is.

Transport
If FC4 supports vehicles online, this game mode would be an awesome way to utilize them. Lets say, each team spawns with 5 vehicles at their HQ. You can add different types of vehicles to your map, maybe a Jeep with low speed but high carry capacity, and a Buggy with high speed, but reduced carry capacity. The goal in this mode is to grab gold bars scattered across the map and transport them back to your teams HQ. Players can pick up these gold bars, but when carrying gold bars, you move very slowly, so you have to load them into a vehicle, so players have to strategically use all their vehicles. Of course, the enemy team can try to intercept an enemy convoy carrying gold bars, but if they fail, time has been wasted. When creating a map to support this game mode, you have to place spawn points for both teams and a HQ crate for each team, then you can also place gold bars across the map in whatever quantity you may wish. Maybe there is 5 locations with 25 gold bars at each location on your map, but then there is a static barge in the middle of the ocean with 100 gold bars on it, so to obtain the jackpot, players must strategically use teamwork to have the bars transported by boat from the barge to land, then to be picked up by a team mate with a land vehicle all the way back to the base. Sounds interesting? =)
This mode will strongly promote teamplay, it will be very different from everything else, it will be intense and I think it would be a LOT OF FUN =D

What do you guys think of these modes? Please respond, and I might do a video on this with even more modes I've been thinking about on my YouTube channel =D
