I disagree that it would be more fun. With two people you can be coordinated and precise, add more people and it gets more complicated. Take for example the most recent battle where the teams were so confusing that smj and soccer killed each other.
It was Soccer's first battle and Smj had pretty much forgotten the objectives etc. too, plus Smj swapped team and Soccer quit the game a bit before the battle started, so this confusion seems understandable to me. I haven't experienced one other battle where people haven't been aware who was on their teams, not the 3v3 ones either, and with a little briefing before the battle begins, this should easily be avoidable, so I don't think that's a very convincing argument.
We might have some 3v3's with atomic and quontex occasionally, but atomic doesn't want to be in every battle and quontex has scheduling/ping problems. Also I have noticed my ping in particular exponentially increases when more people are on, up to the point where last battle I had 800 ms ping. So both me and yqt agree that 2v2's would be most beneficial. It does not say in any of the rules that we cannot restrict to only 2v2, so either change the rules or accept it.
Is that a challenge lol?
Be careful with such rhetoric.
Well, the rules don't say you can dictate it to be 2v2 either
All battles will be 2v2 in MOOse Front.
Technically Red Front could for the sake of argument with the current rules dictate it to be 1v1, because every team has to accept every member. But 1v1 battles would simply be exponentially more boring than 2v2, so I'll be kind enough to avoid that. Pretty much all other battles we've been trying to get as many people as possible to join and that goes in line with the intention of the BG being a place for everyone and for casuals, so I hadn't really imagined this situation, so maybe changing the rules would be worth considering. Anyway, I can see the ping argument, hopefully those could be lowered by upgrading the server.
Sat or Sun works fine I think. I will post in the battle planning when it comes closer to that date.
Cool.
