A few thoughts:
The first point is how all FPSes work, the plane is irrelevant. Looting weapons and such is also a core part of just about every FPS going back to Doom.
The slowly shrinking play area? Now we're talking, that sounds like an interesting new game type. Hardly a new genre though, any more than adding "king of the hill" or "capture the flag" counted as a genre. It's a good idea though.
Is this really a genre, or is it really just a battle mode type, soon to be expected in every FPS multiplayer mode?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
