New modes you'd like to see?

[dangbat]

Other than the release of an SDK (why, why can't people learn from Valve? Let the users do your development for you, then SELL IT!), what sort of maps/modes would you like to see?

I'd like to see some sort of training facility, with goals that reset themselves after a certain time (so, in theory, the game could last forever, and you could just practice the map).

I'd like to see a spy vs. spy mode. Don't know how it would implemented, but admit it: it'd be cool.

Assault mode. The spies actually have to prevent the mercs from achieving some sort of goal, instead of the other way around. Maybe have to crawl around the map, hacking terminals to close off portions of the map.

Still, I really wish that they'd release the SDK (they won't). Maybe someone will come up with some sort of stealth deathmatch for Half-Life 2...

I'd like to see some sort of mode which gives the mercs the objectives, rather than the spies.

Perhaps something like a demolition mode, where mercs have to place/defend bombs until they go off, and spies have to prevent the bombs from going off and/or neutralize the mercs. Maybe for this mode only, the spies could get a lil lethality boost in their weapons.

Or maybe something like a hostage mode, where mercs have to capture and extract hostages, and spies have to protect the hostages and prevent the mercs from escaping with them. To make it interesting, the mercs can't let the hostages die, so they'll have to be careful with their shooting, and while they're escorting them to an extraction point, they're limited in their movement speed, and maybe what weapons they can use.

Just a lil brainstorming, but my point is, it'd be nice if merc gameplay could be beefed up. Personally, I love playing both mercs and spies, but it's obvious they're currently nowhere near as popular as spies amongst the majority. I think some new merc-oriented modes would make them alot more popular.

Spy vs spy would also be really sweet, but I don't have a clue how that could work.

umm how about terrents for merc i mean its hard to go back and forth...

or how about this a remote gun lol use an m82 for that lol na but realy an gun we can place down and the spy cant dissarm or move well put in the storyline that the gun is rig to shock and passout spys.. but here the catch the merc is strip down to pistles and the nade is hand thrown or mabe only one nade can be use on nade luncher on gun terrent or both and just keep only one nade on terrent
oh for hand gun its 2 shots for head shots if its fare game play for people that are spys
