Chess Pit

Chess, but everyone has a gun.
Chess Pit is a team shooter on a playable chessboard the size of an arena. The pieces are real, they're huge, and they belong to whichever team earns the right to move them.
Kills buy moves
Every elimination fills your move meter. A full meter is a move you can spend on any piece your team owns. Falling behind? Comeback and uneven-team bonuses keep the game close.
No turns. Ever.
Moves happen in real time. Each piece has its own cooldown, so both teams move at once, all match long. Walk up to a piece, take control, and send it across the board. When it lands it stomps the square, and anyone standing there is flattened.
The board fights with you
Every piece powers up the squares it controls for its own team:
Pawns: move speed

Knights: armor

Bishops: damage

Rooks: health regen

Queens: heavy damage

Where you choose to fight matters as much as how well you aim.
Pick a class, own a piece
Vanguard: pistol, pawn specialist

Cavalier: shotgun, knight specialist

Castellan: rifle, rook specialist

Sovereign: the King Breaker, queen specialist

Each class moves its favored piece on a shorter cooldown.
