The idea of this game mode is that there are 2 teams: An Attack Team and a Defend Team. You can set the amount of rounds (Either "First to" or "Best of") and when teams switch places (up to 5 rounds).

Example:
Map: Coastline

Attack Objective 1: Deactivate the defensive gates (Set a switch as the objective)
Defense Objective 1: Guard the gates leading to your base
Attack Loadouts (You can set the classes and their names);
Soldier (Assault Rifle, Pistol, 2 Grenades)
Wingman (SMG, Pistol, 1 Grenade)
Defense Loadouts;
Guard (Assault Rifle, Pistol, 2 Grenades)
Recon (SMG, Pistol x2, 1 Grenade)

Attack Objective 2: Plant a bomb and destroy the shield tower (The Bomb can be defused by Defend Team)
Defense Objective 2: Prevent destruction of the shield tower
Attack Loadouts;
Frontlines (Assault Rifle, Pistol, 3 Grenades)
Support (Light MG, Pistol, 2 Sticky Grenades)
Agent (Silenced SMG, Silenced Pistol, Tactical Knife, 1 Grenade)
Defense Loadouts;
Defender (Assault Rifle, Pistol, 3 Grenades)
Gunner (Light MG, Pistol, 2 Grenades)
Spec Ops (Silenced SMG, Silenced Pistol, Tactical Knife, 1 Grenade)

Attack Objective 3: Hack into the power mainframe and overload the reactor (Defense Team can override the process)
Defense Objective 3: Keep the attackers away from the mainframe
Attack Loadouts;
Maverick (Assault Rifle, Shotgun, 3 Grenades)
Destroyer (Light MG, Rocket Launcher, 3 Grenades)
Special Agent (Silenced SMG x2, Silenced Pistol x2, Tactical Knife, C4 x2)
Marksman (Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, 2 Grenades)
Medic (Assault Rifle, Pistol x2, 4 Medpacks)
Defense Loadouts;
Security (Assault Rifle, Shotgun, 3 Grenades)
Anti-Support (Light MG, Rocket Launcher, 3 Grenades)
CQC Gunner (Silenced SMG x2, Silenced Pistol x2, Tactical Knife, C4 x2)
Sharpshooter (Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, 2 Grenades)
Medic (Assault Rifle, Pistol x2, 4 Medpacks)

The wonderful hook of this game is that -you- can make whatever game mode you want, due to the intuitive nature of both the editor and mediascript. I can't WAIT to get my hands on the mapmaker...

I can't wait to get ShootMania!

are you going to do a plan/defuse bomb mode ???

I think games today aren't strategic, I hope that Maniascript will give us the possibility to create strategics games, as your idea

One thing that is a MUST in Shootmania for me to be fully satisfied is that teamwork actually is a necessity, rather than a contrivance. Because in so many games that have team-modes and would benefit from actual COMMUNICATION, even in the team capture the flag type modes, everybody just guns for themselves...

You perfectly describe Call of Duty right there. And I perfectly agree with you. We want more teamwork based games. The first one that get me in the strategic game was Wolfeinstein: Enemy territory and it was AWESOME!!! After I bought CS:S and I was addicted to real games. Though I like rushing games or play for yourself, it's kind of boring because you never play with other people. It's cool to always play with the same guys and develop tactic.
Let's hope ShootMania is going to be that way

It's just somthing I thought of when playing Halo Reach's Invasion mode. I don't know if i will actually do it. Guess we'll just have to wait.
