Mastermind Game Mode Concept (Play as Bain Mode)

This is probably something better suited for another sequel, since adding a totally new game mode this complex would take a lot of time and money.



Anyway, here's the idea: it's something like Battlefield 4's Commander Mode. Rather than relying on Bain acting as magical eye in ether, you have a fifth player, the Mastermind (you'd probably want to rename the skill tree, if you went with that name ;D).



It's the Mastermind's responsibility to keep track of where cops are coming from, marking objectives for the Gang, and basically filling in for Bain in every way. I'd imagine it'd be fun to include a quick minigame or two when hacking computers.



The Mastermind has access to security cameras for directing the crew, in some cases, but can also be required to direct the Gang via blueprints or other resources gathered (purchased in the pre-planning menu) beforehand. The Mastermind would also be able to spectate members of the crew, to provide individual direction.



There could even be, since there are rumblings of a versus mode in Payday 3 (if it ever happens), a Police Commander for the other side, who can utilize police helicopters, drones, etc. for surveillance, along with directing cops (both players and otherwise) to outsmart the Crew and their Mastermind. Of course, there could also be some play between the two commanders, like in Battlefield's hacking and whatnot.



Again, this is a fairly complex game mode to put in as DLC, or what have you, but I could totally see it working well in either a sequel or perhaps even something like a spinoff game.



I'm sure that if this thread gets noticed, others will have better ideas on how to make this more fun-sounding, so be sure to give any suggestions, either way.
