Search and Destroy type mode I love this mode due you only get one respawn and it feels really intense and you see some great clutch plays out teammates.
Capture the Flag classic mode and one of the most fun.

That would be really cool, although I'm not sure how it would play with all the Ink everywhere!

Race. Could possibly convert already established maps by having required waypoints, but that might be too unbalanced towards specific weapons. Probably better for one-on-one or four-way free for all. Eight players would be a bit much.
Also some sort of graffiti battle. It would play like turf war, except instead of the entire ground, you have to ink specific sections of the wall. Whoever controls more graffiti spots at the end of the round wins.

if there's a ctf gamemode, i hope they add something to it to make it faster paced. pretty much all shooters ctf modes are really slow paced and get sort of boring, after playing it for a few times. tf2's ctf gamemode is a notable offender
maybe instead of capturing a flag and taking it back to your base, you have to surround it with a trail of ink and connect it to a checkpoint, making a sort of road to your base...? not sure what they could do to make a ctf gamemode more creative or fun
hopefully there's some really creative stuff that serves the game's core mechanics, like having to fill a dam or fish jar with your ink, and you can shoot the other teams to break theirs (obviously that's actually a really bad idea, but it's just an example of how they can take advantage of the whole ink thing)

Yeah, I can't believe I didn't think of this. It's so obvious. A TDM mode would be great! Maybe even free-for-all?

I don't think a TDM mode would be in the spirit of the game's primary function.
A 'Capture the Zapfish' mode would be welcome, however.

Yes, I'd love having my own color in FFA. I really don't like being forced to colors, which is why I like FFA in Halo so much.

I never even consider FFA that would be hype.

What about some sort of elimination style mode? That would be pretty interesting to see in a game like this!

I'm thinking that for CTZ they could do something like Transformers: Fall of Cybertron did. In that game you could change freely to your vehicle mode and get by much faster. Much like Squidding in Splatoon. In FoC they limited the ability to change forms if you had the flag. Preventing you from just getting the flag and changing in a jet to jet (Sorry) out of the other team's base. I feel a limitation to Squidding would prevent someone from making a path to your base, taking the flag, and squidding back to their base down the same path.
But besides that, I'd also like to see some sort of survival thing. Where you (and/or others) could go against an army of Octarians that start invading.
I LOVED FoC and if this game has anything similar to it, I love it all the more. :p

I'll say it again- I don't think we'll ever see any game mode where the goal is killing the other people, since that kinda deemphasizes the whole main premise of the game- which is to spread ink. Like, I'd stake wages on it.

I also think Deathmatch isn't really in the spirit of the game.
I imagine that as Splat Zones is the equivalent of a "King of the Hill" that we will end up having an equivalent to "Capture the Flag". I wonder how ink will change the mode though, in Splat Zones it made so you don't actually have to be in the zone to claim it, which adds a different strategy to control the "Hill", and I don't have really any idea on how ink can change a CTF mode.
Also maybe they can add a mode similar to the balloon battle from the 1v1 Dojo.
