Hey, Im Cheifwonton I know I don't post much on here, but I've been playing a lot lately. Also, as a founder I would like to throw the idea of a possible 16v16 mode or something along those lines in the air.

Reason being is because the new Alpine map is pretty big for a 8v8 game, especially if you have the luck of being in an Atlas(considering we can't see what map is coming up next but that is another story). That would be cool to see if people agree with me or not or if it is a good idea.

I'm sure it is not easy to just be like Poof! there ya go 16v16 and more bigger maps . . . but keep it in the back of your minds as your developing the game.

Sincerely,
Cheifwonton

The plan for Alpine and similar sized maps is the new 12v12 mode. I remember in their Q&A they have mentioned a number of times 12v12 is the largest they'll make it.

I guess it'll have to be tested if 12v12 is suited for the large sized maps or whether we need more players as you suggested.

They said 12v12 is coming soon™, it is going thru internal testing they have said and once they feel it is stable they will release 12v12

12v12 should be pretty good. Three lances is a company, if I'm not mistaken so that's why they're choosing twelve as the team limit.

It'd help if we had dropship game mode or any other complicated game-mode for those bigger maps. Maybe an actual assault(as I've seen suggested here and there) where one team defends a base from the opposite team. Maybe give them two or three objectives close together, but far enough apart that you'd need to split your lances and cover them strategically. Maybe have turrets or something to prevent light rushes. I don't know, somethin'.

Dropship mode should really liven up(and draw out) those bigger maps. Can't wait.

Yes dropship mode would be amazing to have right now i mean conquest was alright, but it got old fast. Something like an actual assault game would be awesome too. Its a great idea and plus adding more games where you actually have to make a plan to win and communicate better to destroy/capture an objective would open a whole new door for clanning you know. well I mean if you roll that way of coarse. This game gets a little more difficult to play when people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off and doing their own thing.

Honestly, when they release 12v12 they also should look at making 8v8v8. That will also completely change everything about all the maps, and its not horribly hard to adapt the current maps for having a third team into them. Just pick a point in conquest and add it as a third base.
