[SUGGESTION] More than 4 players in one session | Forums

SUGGESTION

I think that adding the ability to allow more than 4 people in a session is going to bring a lot of opportunities for MILSIM-groups and probably would be a lot more fun. I guess if it was added, Wildlands would probably be a upgraded version of Arma 3. It will not just allow for more fun, but will open up more opportunities for roleplaying.

Anyone else think this is a good idea?

[ROWEMEISTER]

Yes I think another game mode with more players is a good idea and hopefully over the coming months it will be added. The devs know people want this from the Beta forums requests.

The original Ghost Recon followed the US Army's Special Forces Group 5 and reflected that with a team of 6 which was the size if the Operational Detachment Alpha's of the time.

The team of 4 in Wildlands reflects the western Tier 1 Special Operations Forces team of today.

If bigger teams appeal why not play something else like Squad?

Or like you already suggested: ARMA 3?

I would be nice if it was 5v5 to accommodate the R6:Siege team that Ive been rolling with for the past 2 years. Now we (my 2 sons and 2 ps4 mates) have to decide who's going solo with randoms.

Did the dev team not realize that the established teams of R6 would want to play together?

Take a knee. You have no idea what you are talking about; that is not an assumption, it is a fact.

This game needs 6v6 at a minimum.

Easy tiger. I think a team of six would be good for gameplay and stay roughly within the Ghost Recon theme.

However, bigger teams would be better played in different games.

Wildlands does 'best-out-of-3' 8 minute pvp fairly well. Bigger teams may even result in shorter rounds and potentially be harder to fill.

Just a thought.

With 6v6 it would give teams that actually know what they are doing the ability to not have to dual hat about 3 different jobs. Normally in game as it is I am doing the job of a Fires Controller (FSNCO), an ISR platform, and at the end of the day an Assaulter because there is only 4 of us. So I have to juggle using all of my assets from behind the front line of trace (FLOT) providing intel and fires, then oh yeah I have to run 250 meters to put a mine on a dead body and then catch up to two guys in a gun fight because there is only 4 of us.

Will the majority of game players on wildlands pvp actually play with a real world understanding; probably not. If UBISOFT gave the real players 6v6, it would open up a lot of possibilities because then you have a 4 guy assault/objective based team and a 2 man C2/intel driven team, or however you want to skin it.

I read a post on here yesterday where a guy said this game is about controlling the map, and that is the correct term to use for several reasons. Key terrain is everything, if you have a good team you can let the enemy get the recon tower, or have their drones up, it doesn’t matter if the opposing force knows where you are. I have only played a couple matches out of the hours I have played so far where a team keeps constant pressure on my clan and can stay in a continuous gun fight the entire time. That is what makes this game so great, the tactical patience required to win.

With that said they need custom lobbies like I hate to say it, but like SOCOM used to be. We need to be able to browse custom ranked games and choose which games to join. The quick match system is garbage as is simply because their is no order to the map rotation and many other reasons.

You just articulated that perfectly. I agree completely.

I could see a lot of potential with large-scale maps and high player counts were an option.

I think its not intended to be bigger than 4 players, however, especially now the pvp is launched, me and my friends are constantly fighting over who gets to play and who don't. we always end up with 5 or 6 people which means a couple can't play along. If there would be a other game mode which allows you to play with more friends then I think it would also attract a larger player base
