I really like this idea! However, I see some problems...
It seems it would be better for organized game-play. Having a smaller team means you would have to put a bigger emphasis on working together. (something pubs in this community lacks...) I don't think many of the random strangers who join pubs just for fun have a keen sense of listening skills.
Also, with the TDM history I've seen... Public TDMs turn more into a giant blob of splish-splash damage around the center of the map. BUT, having the separate teams may eliminate this problem.
But again, I really like this idea. I personally believe it would be worth a test... Just to see how it goes over. This would be something new that I have not seen in many other games.

I could see this working in Capture & Hold (assuming there's base assets involved), I never got to play that game mode in Tribes 1 but I think it would work great with multiple small teams. C&H mixes TDM with base defense aspect (bases are outposts controller by switches, whoever touches the switch claims outpost for the team), difference is that points aren't awarded for kills but for holding outposts.
Remember how in CTF one team could win in Pub if they have 1-2 cappers and rest Defense? Won't work in C&H since you're forced to split your team to different locations in order to accumulate points, you COULD have all defend one outpost but it'll backfire quickly if any of your opponents is holding more than one outpost.

BBC2 "Conquest" is pretty much C&H and I would like to see it implemented more as it requires greater teamwork and as MJ said, there will be less 2-man offenses with stacked D. Here's one game-mode suggestion I made in another thread:
Or hell, maybe we could make a CTF variation WITH mobile flagstands, lol. Nothing extreme and more like your generic moving back and forth objects in games.
With people holding flags, they're basically mobile flagstands, and with cores a sent with extra health or mobility might be harder to catch, especially with other people guarding him.

The real problem with this idea is naming the other teams.

Well let us not forget the 2 current team names. Alpha/Beta.. Creative.

What would you want to go to then? Gamma/Zeta added on, or something like that?

delta gamma zeta epsilon with the originals
i meant the team names doesn't matter its actually implementing the C&H Game type
since we got access to the scripts (idk anything about scripts and what they do) can we do anything as the community to make this happen or is this solely in the hands of the devs

We can do what we always do, sit and wait. The only use for the scripts update is for huds and the like, not modding.
