Shadowrun will not support custom gametypes!

Bill Fulton, the user interface and matchmaking designer for Shadowrun was interviewed by Gamespot.com.  In the interview, Bill was asked by Gamespot to go into a little bit of detail regarding the different modes in Shadowrun's multiplayer:

"GameSpot: Tell us about the multiplayer modes in Shadowrun. How many modes are there and what are they? Will there be any way for players to create custom modes?

 

Bill Fulton: We have three modes in Shadowrun, which are tried-and-true game types for first-person shooters. With the innovation of the core gameplay, we didn't want to overwhelm players with exotic game types."

The game types are raid, extraction, and attrition. Raid is one-flag capture the flag. The Lineage's mission is to get the artifact (the flag) and escape with it. RNA Corp's mission is to prevent that, hopefully by killing the Lineage. In extraction, both teams' mission is to secure the artifact and escape with it. Attrition is team elimination. Both teams' mission is to destroy the other. The team that survives, wins.
