In anycase, MvM and AvA is(from what I gather) supposed to be a fun thing that people use to play NS, but not normal, ie TO HAVE FUN.....
But no1 knows nehting about it so we cant think of what it will be like.
One thing I can say, htf would it turn to CS/TFC, you can build buildings, drop health, get upgrades, fly!!!!
Don't judge it cos you dont think it will be good, just wait until it is out and then judge it, hell maybe flayra will make it snap coding so if it IS REALLY that bad it can be taken out again.

Reading through this thread, I' astonished by how fast people get conservative about new ideas. Half a year ago (before the release), we had many new members who told us flat-out that the game couldn't work because people wouldn't follow the commander / because players would be taking it as another kind of CS / take your pick.
Now that most of these assumptions have been proven wrong or at least not completely valid, Flayra begins to develop the next ideas - and again, any kind of innovation is being frowned upon.
tbh, I have seen skulk vs onos(we were pissin around in a virtually won clanwar)
OMG, it is SO funny
I(skulk) managed to get the onos down to 300 hp, till he paralysed meh <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> then the goring came <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Although I suspect catching the skulk would be hard, as he is so far down on the floor and can hide in many places(man id love to see an onos HS/parasited to death <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

PS: Gun fights between marines is very fun, but I might only think that cause I won 99% of the ones I was in.
PPS: If alternate game modes where made, they would exist according to map. The only way that a server could be only one gametype is if they removed all the maps of the other type(s) out of rotation.

AvA... I'm not exactly interested in, but sounds very fun.
MvM though, I can't wait <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
