At the Gamers Assembly where they first showed off Shootmania, they was a duel show match with a mod they called "Joust" , it's a very interesting concept they created: you basically have the same spawn to start with and no ammo, in order to gain ammo, you must touch capture points and that gives you 5 ammo each time and you have to keep changing capture points in order to gain new ammo. The first one to touch the other guy 7 times wins the round, and its first to 3 rounds... there was also a rail platform which gave you one rail shot if you stayed on the platform. It was very entertaining to watch and very tense...

The mode is interesting but there are still some points to change, like the fact that the first who arrives in the first pole can easily get a 3/0 (4/0 or 5/0).

That normally shouldn't happen, the second guy who arrives should only have a few tenths of a second maximum to catch up on, the trick is to make the nearest pole from the spawn absolutely the same distance whether you go right or left of the spawn...

Nice profile pic of Super Menteur btw

The actual dual system is bad, because when the player need to get his ammo, if the other player is camping the poll this one is getting a lot of free points.

He could just go to another poll...

You can't go 2 times at the same poll, and there are only 2 polls.

It's pole, not poll. A poll is a vote, a pole is a high pillar.

And I don't think that's a problem. The whole mode is about constantly moving, not getting far behind your opponent.

I actually like this game mode,
it has some minor problems, but i really like the idea.
