Collect all ideas for additional (and improved) game modes here

• Capture the flag (and variants such as "baserace")
• Team deathmatch
• Continous dogfight (respawn Respawning #58 players when killed) Deathmatch mode #329
• King of the hill
• Control point

Most of these require map enhancements.

Nice article here, including some additional game modes (note - all team-based):

• VIP (only score by killing special player)
• Bomb (carry "flag" to capture point)
• Escort (move VIP to capture point)

Maybe possible as single player mission objective:

• repair item/hold position (wait an amount of seconds in one area, which possibly changes/adds some map item, like changing some computer screen or adding a bug)

Interesting idea; to make it most compelling though we'll need improved enemy spawning methods. Right now C-Dogs only has one way of spawning enemies mid-game, randomly and out of sight. Other spawning methods include actual "spawner" objects, or via scripting. Then we can have set-piece defence scenarios, e.g. start holding a room, and a constant stream of zombies spawn outside the room.

Right now it could be kind of faked with keys, see how the Doom campaign has a few monster closets which are basically locked doors with monsters behind them, but it's not quite the same effect.
