4 Player Maps?

[Coleman]

I was fiddling around with some ideas for a while earlier when I got bored. After figuring out what I want to do it seems that it would only work well with our size requirements if it was designed for 4 people.

If I really tried to push it to 5 or 6 players I could, but the quality and balance would be diminished.

Anyway, we do have some maps that can't be played with more than 6 players. Would a map that can't be played with more than 4 be out of the question? I want to know what people think about the possibility of 4 player, or since it's almost related, 2 player duel maps.

I hear gimil has been saying flat-out no. We have had a couple 2-player duel maps that have been pretty much rejected, too...

I think it's because Lack is opposed to it.

I dont think it was a flat out no, just more that lack doesnt want sub market maps like this. But dont take my work for that I havent ask him

I personally would love to see these maps!

Yeah, what i was working on could really have 8 players if I had the room, but I can't conceive how I could do it with current size restrictions. If it was 4 players 2v2, 4FFA, 3FFA, and 2Player would all be perfectly balanced.

So if size wasn't an issue it would still be a choice between a great map for all 4 player and under game types, or a less than perfect map available for all settings.

I was wanting to post something on this forum (but forgot lol) this reminded me... how about the possibility of making team only maps? maps that are designed by nature to have 4 players on one side and for on the other, you could obviously play as trips, doubles, or possibly even 1v1. I would support a 4-player map (only problem with it is that so few players play 4-way matches... its mostly 6-8 players or 1v1's)

I don't play 4 player games because I play terminator and I feel a lot of maps are unbalanced for 4 players. Even classic. Classic is designed for 6 or 3.

If it was split in 4 as an objective map without attacking other players I'd love it.
