Yes there defs needs to be more custom game options and or additions to the game. For example; *Selectable respawn time for local blitz (anymore than 5secs sucks). *Fire turret should recharge skills if you heal it (seeing as scramblers discharge skills). *Being able to spawn your own bots as an option in Blitz from the back spawn points (or being able to buy the rear bot spawn points from the enemy, maybe for like $1500). *More/Better endorsements ie. Increase Weapon Damage instead of critical hit and change Armor to Over-Shield, so you can see its effect and not just take longer to die. Also, increase weapon range. *More customization in terms of custom positions ie. changing their unit number, adding decals, voice banks, custom taunts, clothes, maybe even using your avatar etc. Theres nothing really to spend the cash on after you buy all the custom slots. Pro tags don't appeal to me at all, they only show the cash you've earned, theyre not useful in any way. *Juicing to break being dazed by the Jackbot. *Being able to switch classes or have the option to enable it with custom options for blitz mode. Being able to change classes when things get heavy after ive overclocked all my turrets with my support class and then bringing the rain with the gunner would add a new aspect to the game. This game is really awesome when you get right into it and start carving through hundreds of rounds in sudden death. I think the local matches would be made more interesting by adding custom options though.
I think a good option for privates would be no bots at all. Every game would end in a draw of course, but it leaves it open to play alternate game types without bot interference.
every game would end in a draw... nope, still dont see any objective in that game mode then... add different scoring systems then (instead of moneyball make it most kills or money or something), then there is an objective. otherwise, whats the point in a guranteed draw...
By alternate game modes I mean not crossfire. So technically every game would be a draw, but the games I'm talking about are stopped when a user created objective is reached. It's a private match so everyone in the room would know the rules beforehand. Sumo, TDM, CTF, Bumper cars, etc, etc. Adding a scoring system might be too much work for little payoff, so I left it out. I don't know how simple it would be to stop bots from spawning, but that one thing would open the game up to various different player created games. [edit] also I think two different options would be best. One for regular bots (blackjacks/slims) and one for jackbots.
