New Game Mode Suggestion: 8 player Brawls (2v2v2v2) | Forums

This is pretty much explained in the title but I'll add a few details or insights. This could basically work like elimination where each map is completely open and has buffs spread across it. Spawning could either start out in a 1v1 for each player or each team of two could spawn together in different corners of the map. I think this game mode would add a fresh new take on team play in a unique and easy to understand way. Not only would it add another type of 8 person mode but the ground work would then be done for a 4 person (1v1v1v1) free for all in custom games. It would also open up opportunities for other 4 team game modes that could be objective based. And in my personal opinion I believe this type of game mode would make complete sense in terms of the games story with the timing of Marching Fire coming out here soon and an Added 4th Faction it would almost be like all 4 factions clashing at once like the trailer.

Some people may see an issue with how Teams and Team colors would be distinguished and I believe this can go two different ways. The Colors used by players could either be their neutral colors or the color of the teams could be based on the 4 factions of the game. If the neutral color route is taken then only two team colors are needed for the H.U.D. when in game. One for your partner and you (probably blue) and one for all the enemies (probably orange) because it really doesn't matter what side all the other teams are on, they are all enemies. If we go the 4 Factions route then either two new team tabs need to be added to the color customization menu or a default team color could be applied for the game mode. I personally prefer the neutral color method as it allows for more personal customization and I assume would make an easier to understand and possibly design the Player H.U.D. in regards to friendly and hostile players.

If anyone else has any suggestions or critiques please weigh in on the subject.

I like your ideas but i would prefer a 8players battle royale (arenas, maybe others maps with a solution for runaways, no abilitys and no gear stat). It would be so satisfying to be the last one standing!

Sounds good. If going the faction route, I would opt for neutral colours for the players and faction colours for the HUD.

They should do a test server for neutral colours in all game modes. I think the HUD using only team colours should be fine. It's what I usually look out for when hunting down the enemy.
