4v4 Ladle

[deleet]

Well personally I think this would be an awesome idea. Players who stay alive would make a massive difference and current conventional tactics would have to be changed and some new ones invented. It would bring on a whole new style of play. Perhaps even a new map could be made with smaller rim sides though not by much.

Please not that by this poll it may not mean that we do a 4v4 ladle. It is just good to know.

I would be down for this.

We've already had a 4vs4 Fortress tournament. It was quite fun, but it was different to the Ladle. I don't like the idea of Ladles being 4vs4 and I don't think it should ever reach below 5vs5. If you wanted a 4vs4 Fortress tournament then I think it should be in it's own dedicated wiki page and not related to the Ladle. There's no harm in copying the Ladle settings and layout of using the wiki and pretty much everything else you can copy.

While on the subject of team player limits of the Ladle. I think Ladles should be 5vs5 and a round limit of 12 instead of 10.

I have just put back up a server with these settings, hosted on the same server that the Ladle finals were played on. TheServerPharm Fortress for Four. The settings are not Ladle settings, but work very well for four person teams.

}incam{ ladle should be first

Random question for you }incam{ lovers. Do any of you remember manta putting up a Wild Fortress with maps optimized for incam? We were chatting the other night, and I am convincing him to put the server back up in TR2NOrigins. Manta is a HUGE fan of incam (so am I btw)! Perhaps you all might just want to play in a Tourney in that server?

No T2O for me, thanks. And I'm not using a hacked Arma for it either.

I would be happy with another Incam Fort match like we had several months ago. We had enough turn out for 2 teams, and it was a good time.

Back to 4v4 discussion... If anyone (epsy) does another FFF, I'm down.

i think the same, the ladles should be 5vs5 and with a round limit or time limit (+ allowing to finish the last round)

teams should be beating entire teams, not winning a match by getting a random kill

The less amount of players per team = the slower the game is played. Hypothetically, not that I support this, but if we went back to 8v8, the games might actually go by faster since 4 or 5 attackers could really do some damage together, especially with good usage of holes.

[compguygene]

Just to get back to the topic at hand. The fff settings are 2v2 conq which does make it faster play for 4 person teams than 2v2 unconq. I don't really think we should do a 4v4 Ladle, but as Durka pointed out, an fff tourney could be organized. I might even consider organizing one, if others would be willing to admin it. I just don't have the time to admin any tournament.

8-8 sounds good to me
