And 50% of peeps in the MA fly around being dweeby game-the-gamers, terrified of missing a chance at a virtual (insert favorite object here) measuring contest.

At least those 50% like to fight, not like the other group you belong to.

I was thinking of some type of Project Reality - AAS type game mode but with higher stakes.

at the most basic level

- You have to join an ingame "squad" of 8 player
- Voice comms would be limited to those in the squad
- squad leaders would be able to talk to other squad leaders

-the higher stakes come in with the respawn timers
-getting shot down is a 15 minute respawn (this would stop the suicide runs and encourage larger battles)

- ground vehicles have no respawn timer

- perked vehicles have multipliers attached to the normal respawn timer
  (along with the normal perk cost etc.)

- the whole game mode would revolve around tickets
- dieing in a plane would be 1 whole ticket
- vehicles would be less
- bases would be ticket "banks" with larger bases would hold more tickets
- if you hold more than 55% of bases the other side bleeds tickets
- if your side gets to 0 tickets you lose
- two sides (not three)
- side balancing
- smaller maps

-hitech could lower subscript costs with micro-transactions (Respawn now for $0.99 or more)


any thoughts?

That sounds terrible.

There are 10,000 different game modes now.  Pick a different one that you don't normally do if you are getting bored.
