Hmm, screws, shops, turrets... throw in some met creeps and you could have Defense of the Doctors!

( QUESTION ): How did this all happen? ( How did they start going after some screws? )

Most of the ideas in this topic so far I don't really like. Some of the big ones

Shop- No, no, no. It would slow down the pace of the game; if you weren't invincible while selecting something, you would be frag bait. If the screws didn't add to your total it would be entirely useless. The variety of weapons / items available would probably be nigh-useless.

Speed changes- Only if they're temporary. For example, getting 20+ screws could slow you down for a brief moment, but permanent speed changes (good or bad) would seem excessive.

Auto/Reggae spawn placements: The "inventory item" suggestion is good in theory but isn't foolproof enough. However, I do agree that their locations influences a map highly - to the point that many times the easier accessible spawn will win easily. I have two ideas for this -

a) The number of Auto and Reggae spawns is dependent on the number of players using a ratio, such as 1:3. For every three players total in the game a "clone" of Auto and Reggae spawns in the map (upon next player spawn). Example: Once six players are in the game, there would be two Auto and two Reggae spawns. With nine players total (4/5 per team) there would be three spawns. It might not be the best ratio but I feel that having multiple screw carriers would avert the "base camping" issue that seems to be the most frequent complaint about the mode.

b) Have Auto and Reggae move locations after receiving a certain number of screws. (example. once 1/3 of the screws have been deposited, they respawn somewhere else) This idea seems more frustrating but it's the only other solution I had besides using multiple Auto / Reggae spawns.

(sorry if someone has requested this before)
An small idea: Players can locate auto and reggae using the automap...

This might be old, but can someone put a mirror link for this game mode? Thanks
