I have a good idea of a map, it will work in a survivor like way, you can only have eight people who are all vip's, everyone has to get to a goal (requiering work), but should you team up or go solo? It still needs some thought, I just want to know what forgehubians think.
"Should you team up or go solo?" I'm kinda perplexed by this question... I like the idea. Would it be based on limited lives? And can you possibly take out your potential teammates/opponents?
Yeah, can you explain more? Right now it seems 8 people all on different teams spawn together and needs to accomplish things to reach it to the VIP goal area. This will definitely end up in an assassination fest and the winner of that will then be watched by 7 people as he takes 5 minutes to reach the goal.
It will be like a 8 sided symmetrical map where there are 8 teams, each has only one vip (8 people) they have to get to a goal, each wants to win but they have the option to team up or make a truce by asking another person. I don't know how to make the goal so that they should work together, but I'm thinking of a way.
It's a nifty idea, but I could see it turning into an assassination fest. For example, why would I stick with you once I've used you (literally) to get to the end, I could just kill you and take it all for myself.
The best solution I can think of to the assassination fest is to change the points. For each kill, the player loses a point but they receive several points when arriving at the checkpoint. It would be good if there was something you could do to get points for reviving other players. Perhaps if it was like an obstacle course with some parts requiring more than 1 player to get by and crates cover spawn points, when living players uncover the spawn points they can bring back dead players to help them. Then the respawning crates would stop spawn points being open forever and players spawning right at the start when the rest of the players are miles away.
You could set up a map like a star, 5 pointed, and each person spawns in each point of the star. Behind you would be the goal for other vip's to score on, and your goal would be to get to another point of the star while still defending your own. So, kill who you have to, run and grab a few points by going to the killed VIP's checkpoint, then run back and guard your own before they spawn. Idk.
All of these are great suggestions, but I know see that my idea will be very difficult to achieve. I am thinking of having 8 vip's stranded in a cave, with the idea of teamwork=success in mind. You can do it solo, but you will need to look close. If you team up you need to be deceiving to take advantage of your "partner". Sound good for the final idea?
