Self-explanatory, same selection method as in classic lobbies.
Potential ideas (relevant classic + previously removed/proposed modes) include:

Bomb disposal/Missile Launch (?) (tweaked to account for map size)
Gun game (ffa/regular, possibly similar to https://discord.com/channels/324984733102768128/1120005856071794758)
Pistol/sidearm FFA (Either original or https://discord.com/channels/324984733102768128/1119475209959915520)
(?) Capture Point? Might be hard to integrate given the map sizes/layouts...

Most (if not all) would need to be tweaked to account for size/layout/interaction time.

Also, as a side effect, it would lay the groundwork for 4v4 to act as a larger-scale proving ground than the testing servers to tune newly released gamemodes/features prior to their rollout on classic.

I like the idea of using 4v4 to test stuff before rolling it out more widely. At least when it comes to things that can be tested in that mode.

What about adding gun game mode to 4v4 mode but make it FFA instead of 4v4?

I see you mentioned it above.

The team version of the gun game was fun and without the GL would be much better and the gun order had a nice equalizing effect on the teams.

FFA would be good too, but you could use the team version. You could even add both versions.

The only thing I object to in the suggestion is the capture points part. Not a fan of that mode anywhere.

If you want to play around with the gun game in 4v4, FFA with a short list of 3-4 random (or non-random) weapons might be fun with a series of short rounds as a match/mode. Maybe something like first player to win 3 rounds wins the match? The longer matches are probably tedious and frustrating for those that get stuck for the whole round if one of the first weapons is difficult.
