PVP modes and duels in the open world

Duel

I can't believe we don't have a duel functionality already, which pretty much every single MMO has (whether PvE or not). Should be relatively simple to implement, just select a nearby player, send off a duel-invite, and if they accept then a circle appears on the map that defines the boundaries of your duel.

Fight until one of you die or until the 5-10 minutes passes.

Manhunt

This is kinda an evolution of a duel, and I've kinda envisioned it as a PVP-mode that takes place across the entire map. One player is selected as the bait on random, while a team of 4-5 opposing players are selected as the hunters. At the start of the game, they are teleported at random to various locations across the map, and fast travel is disabled (vehicles are still functional). In addition to this, the hunters are given a sort of tracking device (e.g, EGO will tell the hunters what direction the bait is at, and roughly how far away the bait is).

There's a time limit of maybe 10 minutes or so, and the bait has to escape the opposing players. If he survives, he wins the game and gets a sizable prize in terms of key codes/scrip/exp. If the hunters manage find the bait, and kill him, then they win the game and get a prize - but the prize shrinks each time one of the hunters die (so they too gotta stay on their toes).

i like this idea but to make it fair i would say you just que up for a manhunt and never know if your going to be the target or not

[Squiddy]

Yeah, that's what I had in mind - you enter the queue and are randomly assigned a role.

I agree completely with Duels, quite surprised they don't have something like this.
And I love the idea for Manhunt.

I'm not sure what Capture and Hold is, I'm guessing a base pops up, you go to it and hold it for as long as possible.
But there should be a Search & Destroy game type too.

As long as if they do implement a duel mode, it comes with an auto reject option..
Nothing more annoying then trying to do something in game and being spammed with duel invites..

Definitely, isn't there an auto reject feature for the current invites in the game?
