    Since it would be a bit stupid to only have the "standard" mulitplayer modes(deathmatch,team deatmatch, capture the flag and destroying a marked crate) I would like to suggest a mode wich i hope will be unique for the Metro series.


    Ice Road OR Caravan Trek


    The maps would be very big and would involve 2 teams: bandits and a other faction. The other faction has to get a truck or ral car with supplies from point A to B while the bandits try to stop them. the matches would probably long(hope so atleast) both sides wont have much ammo and there is a long way to the Station or outpost where you have to deliver. For added challenge and "fun" there could be mutants spawning randomly(as in before a match some random mutants spawn on some of the random areas in the map) and there could be multiple paths and roads to the outpost where you have to deliver the items. And in maps on the surface there could be a freezing system implemented as in that some areas you will freeze(aim worsens and the screen will gradually get covered by snow and ice) you could heat up by going into buildings and standing near flames and other heat sources.



    One Mag

    Another mode could be that all the players and teams have the same weapon(maybe before a match you can vote on 3 randomly selected weapons). But here is the catch: you only get one mag and the only way to get more ammo would be to kill a opposing player and take his ammunition and in the end there would be 2 winners the one who managed to collect most munition and the one who killed the most opponents.


    Onslaught


    You have either 3,5 or 10 minutes to prepare against a massive attack by mutants there could be a big horde small horde or medium horde(point is you dont know what you get) preparation would include opening a hatch in the rear so that you can escape to the surface, dragging and placing barricades(sand bags, pieces of concrete etc) then fortifying these(adding barbed wire, wooden poles) digging trench, fortifying it etc. You will most likely not be able to do all of it because of the limited time you have.


    Onslaught Endless

    Same as above just that the horde doesnt end there come more and more mutants.


    Siege

    Same as Onslaught just instead of mutants there are humans attacking(the nazis maybe or the communists).


    Siege Endless

    Same as Onslaught Endless just with humans instead.
    the endless modes would come up as a checkbox when selecting the original mode(think of it as hardocre mode)



    Race

    More of a joke than a suggestion but still you know those rail buggys? What if you could have a couple of maps where you race those things online? It in my opinion would be a great CoOp mode because you would have one driver and one gunner now if those dont cooperate well they surely wont win. And maybe squezze in a third person to gun with his or her firearm.



    Twin Trains

    Similar to the Race mode it would involve 2 trains going next to each other the goal is to stop the other sides train either derailing it (shooting or blowing up the wheels near turns or jump on the other train and disable/destroy its controls or engine this would require the trains to be close to each other) opposing teams would spawn on different trains(as in team A spawns on train 1 and has to protect it while team B spawns on train 2 and has to protect it) this mode would be a bit hard to make since it would require very long levels, but it would be good because it would incorporate both teamwork and action in one game mode.


    the reason I suggested this was that I want to avoid the Metro franchise from ending up being like CoD or something similar with bland game modes.

    If you have more suggestions please suggest.

    I like onslaught, seige and twin trains. Im not too fond of the others, i think the are good ideas but there not practical enough to work. For now i will explain no further as my brain doesn't co-operate at 5:04am.

    The caravan multiplayer would be awesome, I think it's quite unique. My second favorite would be Onslaught. Let's hope they do something along these lines!

    So the survival modes(siege, onslaught and Caravan) and twin trains are favorites? I am wondering on how I can send it to the game devs or are they checking this site periodically?

    Here's my idea:

    Some awesome ideas right there, I think the devs could surely make them work in the game. :) I've got a few ideas of my own:

    Mode name: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
    The game starts off with one person playing as a Dark One and everyone else is a team of Rangers, who have to work together in order to destroy the Homo Novus. The human players are armed with guns & explosives as well as possessing better health & armour. The player who takes on the role of the Dark One has superior speed, stealth, senses and can only attack once every fifteen seconds with a psychic attack. Once a Ranger is attacked by this, they enter a quick time event and have to press a button as quickly as possible. If they fail, they will die and don't respawn until the start of the next game. If they succeed, they become "enlightened" and are now on the Dark One's side, trying to defend it by killing all of the Rangers. When the Dark One dies, one of the "enlightened" takes its place as the Homo Novus. When the Dark One dies and there are no "enlightened" alive, the game is over and the Rangers win. On the other hand, if all the Rangers are dead, the "enlightened" win the match.

    Mode name: TOWER
    This is very similar to the 'Onslaught' idea you came up with before. Up to four players (locally on console, or online on console or PC) are on top of a tower on the surface of Moscow. They have to fight off waves of approaching enemies from the inside, and the ones that climb the outside. At the end of every five waves, they have to fight off a demon. The number of hostile mutants increases with each round. In addition, the players are given a crapload of ammo and weapons at the very start but they have no way to refill it until ten waves pass. Every ten waves, the players get a chance to stock up on weapons, ammunition & explosives as well as being able to exchange guns. This mode carries on and never ends. There are leaderboards for it. I believe this would be a strong selling point for the multiplayer section of the game that wouldn't sacrifice any of the singleplayer goodnes in order to satisfy the needs of a wider market.

    Personally, I like my "Enlightened" mode best. :D

    I realli like the Tower idea Bamul said getting attacked by demons while trying to survive in a tower. Maybe it could be a level in my Onslaught mode idea?

    Great idea!

    Here's mine:
    Stealth vs Brutal

    There are two teams of 5:
    1 A team with nightgoggles, throwing knifes, silenced weapons, air rifles, etc.
    2 A team with Shotguns, heavy rifles, heavy armor, flashlights, explosives, etc.

    The map should have/be:
    1 Very dark, but also with some lights you can turn on and off.
    2 Places with broken glass on the ground and other warning things.
    3 Not big and not to small(something like Dry station).

    The two teams need to eliminate the other team and there are no respawns. The team which elimates the other team wins.
