seriously though, why can't we put BRs on World 2.1?

did the Russian government put you to this lack?

I like the idea of cutting the 30 day wait for the next BR game to 1/2, 1/3 or even 1 every 5 days! =-) That would be schweet

Yeah but can we also have......

I would have done this before that.....

I don't wanna play with cooks to protect my precious point stack.....
(Like your odds of winning a battle royal are more than slim.)
(Like it's not Terminator, and those cooks aren't little points crackers for the snacking.)

The spelling is wrong......

The spelling is STILL wrong.....

Nice but I wan't a choice of maps......

Jesus.....it's like living with 10 sisters.

Nice work, Lack. Keep it up!

Just make it that you can only be in one battle royal at a time --then the 30 day wait is not a factor

I don't think this is cool though... your game may, and will probably, last months. Meanwhile, you wouldn't be allowed to get into your next game, and you may not even have a hope to win when it gets down to 5 players who just stack and wait for a suicider to make them a favor by attacking other opponents. It could also motivate some people to suicide in order to put an end to that painful game so they can get into the next one. It's better if you have the luxury to be in more than one BR game!

I'm looking for new teammates. Please send me invites.
Any map is fine and I'm pretty open about different settings, but I prefer no fog and no trench.

BRs will have unique maps going forward probably (varying in size and gameplay), though our end-of-the-year / new year celebration will most likely remain open to all sorts of fun maps.

Battle Royales are still in an early phase, so we may in the future change the frequency of how many BRs a player can be in. I know I'd like to see more!

I signed up for a BR, I don't mind waiting the 30 days. Why does it hide current games being signed up? I'd like to see what those settings are that I'm missing out on to know how long I do / might have to wait.

Along those lines, it would be GREAT if there were listed "these games are waiting for sign ups" and "these games and settings will sign up NEXT" so I know whether or not I'd rather wait.
I don't want to sign up for a game just to have my fav settings come out next, or think they will come out next and end up waiting constantly for a game / setting series that never gets picked....

by **lackattack** on Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:47 pm

Okay, I removed the new tag :-)

You recently joined a Battle Royale. Please come back in 9 days.

fffffuuuuuuuu

The Team Medals is great, and I like the Battle Royal game. If I may make a suggestion, once a player is eliminated from a BR game, s/he should be allowed to enter a new one immediately (I have to wait 10 days to play another after I was killed).
And different maps.
Other than that, great stuff.

by **AndyDufresne** on Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:18 pm

We will continue to evaluate how often Battle Royales can be played, this is sort of our first test! In regards to different maps, the Carographer Team will soon be working on some Foundry information for mapmakers that want to take on creating a Battle Royale map, so hopefully we'll eventually get some map flavor added!

by **IcePack** on Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:23 pm

My BR suggestions list:
Play for a BR medal not points
Show the next upcoming BR settings
Allow sign up after elimination

Sounds good to me. Thanks.

Points won is capped at 100 per losing player. 52 players. So in a standard game, the theoretical max win is 5100 points, is this correct? I mean, someone right at the lower end of the scoreboard could jump to Conqueror with one win. That'd be pretty funny :-)

What should any medal look like?

by **silversun6** on Sun Aug 19, 2012 1:41 pm

any chance you make some of the battle royal with rank limit?
playing such big game with cooks makes it random...

Apparently this hasn't even been comented on so far. I'd pretty much like that too, since I always use the game finder to join games.

And while we're talking about the game finder: Could you please add the Colosseum map to the game finder? Or is there any other way to find BR games and I'm just too stupid to see it?

Colosseum is indeed an option in the game finder map picklist, towards the bottom. It is a 'Closed' map (since it isn't open to publicly created games).

You can also search for Battle Royale games using the Game Finder's 'tournament' finder, by say searching for 'lackattack' as an organizer, or 'Battle Royale' as the name of the tournament.

But simply clicking on the Battle Royale link is the easiest if you are looking to join a game!
