Add an objective-based mode in which one team guards a group of hostages while the opposing team attempts to locate, secure, and escort them to an extraction point. Players would need to coordinate carefully, gather information, and avoid harming the hostages. This could create tense close-quarters encounters where completing the objective is more important than simply eliminating the opposing team.
I’d love to see a CQB hostage rescue mode added to Bodycam. I think it could be a great fit for the game’s realistic and immersive style. The mode could focus heavily on teamwork and coordination. For example, one player could be responsible for opening or breaching a door while another prepares a flashbang or other tactical equipment. Teammates would need to communicate before entering rooms, clear different angles, identify hostages, and eliminate the armed suspects without accidentally harming civilians. The mission could take place in environments such as houses, offices, warehouses, hotels, or other close-quarters locations, with the positions of hostages and suspects changing between rounds so players cannot simply memorize the map. I think a mode like this would make teamwork much more important and give players a reason to communicate, assign roles, and move through buildings carefully instead of simply looking for kills. A well-coordinated hostage rescue operation could be extremely immersive with Bodycam’s visual style and gunplay. If you have any thoughts or plans regarding a mode like this, I would really appreciate a reply. I genuinely think there is a big opportunity here, because there currently aren't many games that combine this type of tactical hostage-rescue gameplay with the same level of realistic visual presentation that Bodycam has. If done well, I believe this mode could attract a much larger tactical FPS audience. It would also be perfect for playing with friends, which could naturally encourage players to invite others and help the game spread through word of mouth, potentially bringing in more sales. I also used AI to create a few concept images to better visualize what I have in mind. They are only references for the idea, but hopefully they can help communicate the concept more clearly.

add a hostage game mode such as in ready or not.
A 2v2 hostage mode would be really interesting in Bodycam. Because of how realistic and immersive the game is, having a hostage in the middle of a fight could create an insane amount of tension. The hostage team would have to be extremely careful when shooting, while the terrorists would also have to protect the hostage. If the hostage is taken away from the terrorists and they accidentally kill the hostage, they should lose the round as well. This would create tension for **both teams**, making every decision and every shot much more stressful.
They could do a larger mode like the planned 20 person maps, or a competetive 5v5 or even a 2v2 as well. literally perfect for this game.
