Hello everyone just thought I would drop in and ask a few questions. I figured this would be an appropriate place for a thread. Alright first question: Is it possible to have a 4v4 Elite vs. Spartan slayer game? If so is it ridiculous to set up? And the next question: What would be the ideal size for a 4v4 slayer map. Currently im workin on one but I have this feeling in the back of my mind the map may be too small and enclosed. Thanks in advance for any feedback <3 -Saint
It could possibly be better of in Reach Forge Discussion since it's gametype/map related. I'll point a moderator towards it and see what they want to do in that regard. SvE Slayer is exactly that, it was a gametype in the Beta but now you mention it I haven't seen it at all in the full game. I should imagine that it's still possible, it'd be a real shame if not. I'm just about to get on and have a play with some custom settings anyway, I'll see if I can find what you're looking for if someone else doesn't reply back with an answer first. There's far from an 'ideal size' when it comes to 4v4 Slayer, a good example being both Valhalla and Guardian in H3 when compared in size. They're radically different, but both work well in their own way for 4v4. Since you're questioning whether it might be too small, I guess you're going for an arena style map rather than a larger, vehicle inclusive map. It could potentially help if you post some Theatre screenshots of the map here so people can have a look and judge from that (depending on how complete the basic layout is to judge size by) or any sketches or plans you have. Ultimately, the best way to test whether a map is big enough to avoid becoming overcrowded and chaotic in 4v4 is to test it with 4v4 customs, but again this depends on how far you are through building in terms of whether this is possible or not.
