All Networks Make Starting Value Smaller For Battle Zone

[awesome8679]

Battle Zone once used to be a big hit game, and it was not uncommon for the que to reach 50+ players. Now, it is very difficult to find enough to play, even with the max players lowered to 50. For the people that still like the game, it saddens us because we can never play it do to lack of players. It would be nice if you lowered to max player count even more and make it more of a mini-game rather then a full out free-for-all. The starting value could be 4, and the max player count could be 16 just like in the archade games. you could also make the map smaller, even if all you did was make the border start smaller. This would attract more attention to Battle Zone, for people will actually be able to play it, and may even create anouther serge of players to the game.

That sounds like a simple and effective solution and all, but this would significantly increase the time a game would take if players spread out on the map. Not only would you barely ever have to fight anyone, but everyone would also be armed to the teeth by the time you do find someone. Battlezone can't really be played in the intended way with just 10 people, let alone the minimum 4. Even the decrease to 50 players (resulting in a minimum of roughly 13) is pretty bare for a game that's designed with a lot of chaos and exploration in mind. This would only make Battlezone less... Well... Battlezone. It wouldn't be the same experience, and the map would have to be completely scrapped and replaced with a much smaller map for it to work out.
As good as this sounds, this change would be at cost of the quality of the game itself. Battlezone is a game meant to be filled with a lot of players, as it would otherwise be way to stale and provide a very repetitive experience (basically a game with no depth).

What if they also added mob spawning, so the other players were not the only challenge

That wouldn't really fit Battlezone's theme. It's a PVP heavy gamemode, and the current weapons you'd get would be overkill for the mobs too. All it would do is be a minor annoyance, and it wouldn't add anything to the game if you're looking at the experience.

There should be battle zone duels.
Okay I know it sounds dumb but, who doesn't love a 1v1 gunfight? >.>
Especially now since you can almost never join a regular game of battle zone. I mean, the codes of the guns are already made, just make a 1v1 little arena with a few kits, each has a different gun, etc..?

Is a horrible idea
Months ago turn 100>50
Turn 50 to a
4<16 is very bad idea
A 4 player battle zone are not fun

It's just dying, okay. You gotta accept that. Changing the player count won't change anything.
