Alien v Alien / Marine v Marine Tournys

One of the aspects that I love when watching SC2 esports is the aspect of how players specialize. Specialization allows players to push their skill levels ever higher. My suggestion is to allow alien v alien or marine v marine games such that organized teams can specialize. I can see NS2 becoming a popular esport in its own right and I believe this would help it.

Thoughts?

    Well the MvM part already <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=116645" target="_blank">exists</a>. As for tourny's, people will have to play the mods first and that will likely only happen once a) mod downloading is put in and b) NS2 playercount gets high enough.

    Because symmetrical team deathmatch gameplay is a new, fresh idea and entry into the shooter realm, unavailable in almost any other game!

    Team deathmatch with buildings and research, mind you.

    You should check out the Science and Industry mod for halflife. Lots of research involved. Not much building but a healthy dose of knocking scientists unconscious and kidnapping them

    The concept has nothing to do with innovation of novel concepts beyond allowing teams to engage in symmetrical or asymmetrical game play at their choosing.

    Also, now I'm trying to picture onos stomping/goring each other to death. An alien v alien mod should be made solely due to the hilarity that would ensue.
