wait I messed up. If the holder wins then he deploys his squads survivors.

Erm... I hate to bash your idea, but ring of goo is awfully similiar to this (the map only is the stand and fps don't vary).

the big difference betwean this and ring of goo is that for next defence challenger can only deploy those guys that survived previous game. that's a big difference. AFAIK there's no competitions with such conditions yet.
what's good is that it gets very hard to hold enough number of defences to get a plate. life of every soldier would be extremely important. what's bad is that it's not quite fair to challengers. for example, in first defence holder will have 30FP that will easily beat challenger's 20FP (i.e. first few defences are biased in holder's side), but in 5th or 6th defence he will only have a small pathetic crowd and it won't be big problem for challenger. as you can see, challengers are not in equal positions. that's why i think it's a bad idea for a belt. however this could be done in some other format... p.s. could some nice mods move this to Tournaments, Competitions and Belts (General discussion) |

Sounds kinda like a cross between Ian's attrition belt and Arakis' diminishing returns belt.
There was some discussion in each of those threads that may be relevent here... especially, I'd say, Hero Boy's thoughts on relative force sizes. It's an interesting idea, though (that reminds me, I should go and sign up for the Ring of Goo again) |

Maybe its 25 on 20 but they only get one commie and one sniper?

I don't think the commie sniper stipulation would work - I don't think many players would take more than one commie if they knew they were facing spawn anyway, and they probably wouldn't take a sniper at all.
I like the idea, but I agree with Duke's comments - it's a bit too hard on the challengers to start off with. Perhaps a belt where the challenger and the holder play three games, with the holder only keeping survivors while the challenger starts afresh. Then you just have the problem of keeping people interested for a long time while the games play out... Hmm... tricky. |

Yeah, I think I'll give up on this one. I like the Alcatraz idea better, and I'm trying to simplify it.
