Many things have been done on b.net and i want to come out with something new, simple, fun and different that requires some strategy
capture the flag has been done before but i havent seen much of it (StarCraft Fortress is amazing). <-- one idea...
orrr where you get some men and go around in a place cloaked stealing info and killing stuff and whoever steals the most wins or somthing....
any ideas?
ADDITION:
ok i thought of another 1... planting the bomb.. itd b 8 player and thered b certain teams u can choose from, for example a firebat, archon and scv could be a team.
tell me wut u think and wut u can add to it
The Commodore 64 game Castle Wolfenstein has some good gameplay. You have to escape from prison while stealing the secret documents. The level is always randomly generated, with items in chests in strange areas and you have to pick keys and ammo off of dead bodies. But you had to trade your gun with an enemy gun to get more ammo, though...
It takes X seconds to open treasure boxes. You 'll have to stand there for 2-3 minutes sometimes while you try to lockpick it.
That's my suggestion. A Castle Wolfenstein type game.
but how could u make something random with triggers? and wut u mean trade ur gun with an enemies? is there ne way u could make it work?
Make something random with triggers? simple. Put what you want into switches and randomize the switches. There is a tutorial on this.
To trade guns it'd have to be like you control a marine. You face and kill a ghost. Ghost dies and some resource (crystal etc), would take his place. Then you just touch the crystal and you turn into the ghost. Obviuosly you want to be stronger than your enemies so you might make him turn into a hero ghost.
but if that was for more ammo itd b pointless really. marines, and ghosts and every1 cant run out of ammo, and im pretty sure u cant make them
so wut would be the point of taking an enemys weapon(if its crappier).
this sounds like a wierd and complicated map... does any1 support the idea of a simple oldschool map like ctf or plant the bomb or most kills or somthing?
Well for ammo you could try to incorporate the "Realistic ammo system"
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=4366 which might be a bit complicated to put into an actual scenario.
Plant the bomb might be a good idea. Or maybe something like counter-strike where there are terrorists and counter-terrorists and the counter-terrorists have to find the hostages and/or disarm the bomb before the time limit or getting killed. And there can be a couple of rounds. And it would be pretty easy to get the wav file for saying "Counter-terrorists win".
CS for SC...

Training maps.
People are always complaining that they're newbs at maps, or people are callnig people noobs.
Just make a training map. A simpler one player version of defences with step by step instructions to become a pro.
I made a training map once, I spent long hours discovering strategical secrets against computer opponents. (Not a micro map! More like a trick map, but with computer A.I.) I was only able to complete 5 levels out of 12 I needed to fill the map though.

Granted, your talking about something different.
