Subject: One big brainwave of a custom game.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

I have had this in thought for about a week now.
I call it Team Callout, feel free to call it whatever.
It's 5v5 Slayer/Objective, but it's 4v4 after the twist.
1 of your teammates is the caller, and the other 4 have muted mics and are not aloud to use them for the whole game.

The caller sits up above the map onto of a grid, walled away from the other team, but must be able to get full observation of the map. The 4 playing in said map must rely on the caller to direct whats happening, who is coming from where and what angle, etc.

This is obviously most useful in community maps that are symettrical and are competitive maps like Imago, Synapse, Select and Enclosed.

Discuss? :)

Seems like default Matchmaking to me.

Sounds a bit like Commander mode from the Battlefield series. I suppose it wouldn't be too bad of an idea. Perhaps the commander can do other things along with callouts to help his team?

PLayed exactly the same thing on C.S 1.6 custome maps.

I lol'd at that. Difference is, the players have they're mics switched off at the controller, but still have the headsets on.

Always up for REACH customs!

Interesting. You could have an honor rule that says players must follow their commander's orders. It would work best as a game with multiple rounds, so people could take turns as their team's commander.
