Mini-game dlc thoughts/ideas

I love shooters and I love MMO's, but mini-games give you that chance to relax and socialize but still within the game world.
What mini-games do you think would be really nice to put in the game?

I'm guessing something non-shooter, just because its meant to be something that is used while out of action. Something that allows us to switch off and socialise without actually leaving the game.

List ideas below.
Card/Gambling games: Poker/Rummy/Liars Dice/Roulette etc
8-Bit games: Found within the aftermath of everything thats happened, finding old 8/16bit games that could be played and leaderboards etc.
Fishing.
Crafting: I rellyhope this comes into the game in some variation.
Tower Defence: A little over the top, 16 bit view of different areas withni the game and directing certain pieces around.
Racing: I'd love an actual racing part of the mmo, not just see who is faster.
Diplomecy: This was great in vanguard, it would keep you on the game as it was something different.
An angry birds type game where you are given certain types of weaponry with limited ammo and must destroy a base/kill enemies and get as many points as possible.

Mini-games and gambling also help with the in-game economy as people will play more and kill more to get the money required to play the mini-games, or more for the gambling side anyway.

Also, look at other MMO's and other games and just post fun minigames you've played before, and we could think of a fun defiance-based twist to it.

Duck Hunt: Hellbugs flying through the air, and you have to gun down as much as possible in a round

LOL but only if there can be a dog that laughs at you if you miss it. I actually like the idea of liars dice being played, especially for scrib.

shadow of the colossus: Have about 7 hellbug hellions stacked up and you got to climb allllllll the way up there and take it out.

Space Combat: Space Combat
Shepards Pie: Fight a set amount of hell bugs, and whenever you get near the end you die(unwinnable)
Arm wrestle: Button Taps!!!!

I like the idea alot of using the the vehicles for either straight racing or vehicle arena combat.
Crafting would be nice, but I'm curious what would you like to be craftable in THIS game?

YES! I didn't even consider vehicles and their potential application in mini-games. I know they have challenges, but a destruction derby map would be awesome. lol

what about bar brawls everyone loves a bare fist brawl

Street boxing in a room behind a bar where players go at eachother and others take bets, it could work.

the trailer for the show has the main character fist fighting a big blue guy....not well though. so i think this would be interesting, especially as a side show type thing.

Loads of stuff. Weapons, as having built a gun myself would be great. You'd be able to find the parts as loot or quest rewards etc, then mix them together to make variations. Borderlands style. You also could do items or vehicles (How they look etc, think of making a reliant robin in this game, funniest thing I'd see entering a battle).

Also, russian roulette would be quick and fun.

Liking some of these ideas.

Instanced horde/survival mode with leaderboards.Each enemy type could have its own map and you have to kill 1 of said enemy to unlock there map with the final map being a boss mode (unlocked by story progression so as not to spoiler any of them).

racing - we are getting 4 wheelers after all
and pool or billiards
geo hid and seek

and if you play MAG play the a/b/c box i forgot what it called and they jump out of airplanes and it basically duck hunt

Sounds like the challenges you get with most shooters actually, that would be amazing if it was in game. I like it in others where it says I have to kill 10 more enemies with a certain gun to unlock something. Or kill a certain amount of specific enemies. These were introduced to make sure people were using all the gun types, and makes it so they go to different areas more than once.

I'd love an ingame achievement 'one less toe' for accidently shooting yourself. Or 'This is a battlefield people' for 5 people dancing a total of 10 seconds within close proximity to an arkfall. or 'His tombstone will read AFK' for killing someone who's been standing still for 1 minute in PvP.

Anyway, on topic, good ideas, and would be a good dlc.
