Other and none of the above are pretty much similar...


I think something that includes active team work (even if with an AI) would be nice.

All of these choices seem to deal with combat...

How about a game type that isn't combat-centric? So far what do we have, space race?

How about population rush or tech tree rush?

you know the space rush? well why not have it mirror the OP2 campaign:

2 players are deployed onto a large map, they are very far apart from each other (so as to downplay bashing each others brains out)

they start with the basic lab, bare bones

there is proportional mines

all natural disasters

and heres the kicker: you need to collect vital fragments of the Conestoga that are out in the wastes and store them in your space port. The other player can steal them, but you need to research special cargo trucks or something (this makes sure that neither player is pressured to get those parts immediatly)

after a certain amount of time, the blight will start approaching from top or bottom at a gentle rate then proceed to move in 'waves' this will start destabilizing the map so that volcanic eruptions and quakes become more frequent

both players can steal SULV/RLV's and starship modules from each other...

i dont know but it would spice up the space race
