Ok, “survey” might be overstating things a bit. But I’m curious about what kind(s) of maps people prefer, and also features on that map.
So, if you’ve got the time, please answer the questions below. It’s 15 questions in total, and they’re all multiple-choice.
1. Do you prefer to play on maps where you can see the sky above you or where you can not see it?
- Sky.
- No sky.
- Indifferent.
2. Do you prefer it if parts of Forge World’s basic geometry like the grass/beach or cliffs/rocks are part of the map (e.g. Paradiso, Asylum), or if it isn’t and everything you run around at is made of Forge objects (e.g. The Cage/Uncaged, Affinity)?
- Basic geometry.
- Forge objects.
- Indifferent.
3. Do you like maps inside the Coliseum?
- Yes.
- No.
- Indifferent.
4. Do you prefer symmetrical (e.g. Asylum) or asymmetrical maps (e.g. Pinnacle) in team games?
- Symmetrical.
- Asymmetrical.
- Indifferent.
5. Do you prefer symmetrical (e.g. Asylum) or asymmetrical maps (e.g. Pinnacle) in FFA games?
- Symmetrical.
- Asymmetrical.
- Indifferent.
6. As for objective games, do you prefer one-sided gametypes where teams take turns attacking/defending, two-sided where both teams go for the opponent’s objective while defending their own, or neutral gametypes where there’s only one objective both teams fight over?
- One-sided.
- Two-sided.
- Neutral.
- Indifferent.
7. Do you prefer to play on symmetrical or asymmetrical maps in one-sided objective games?
- Symmetrical.
- Asymmetrical.
- Indifferent.
8. Do you generally prefer slayer or objective games when playing with a team?
- Slayer.
- Objective.
- Indifferent.
8a. If the answer to question 8 was “objective”, do you prefer these games because you can get more kills than in a slayer game or because you actually like going after the objective? And please, be honest - there is no shame in admitting that you don’t care about the objective and just like to kill stuff. =)
- Kills.
- Objective.
9. Do you generally prefer slayer or objective games when playing FFA games?
- Slayer.
- Objective.
9a. If the answer to question 9 was “objective”, do you prefer these games because you can get more kills than in a slayer game or because you actually like going after the objective? And please, be honest (again). =)
- Kills.
- Objective.
10. In BTB, what is your preferred “mode of operation”?
- Use vehicles.
- Use power weapons.
- Use neither but rely on DMR/common weapons.
11. In BTB, do you prefer if there are lots of vehicles or just a few of them per team?
- Lots.
- Few.
- Indifferent.
12. In BTB, do you like or dislike if there are “neutral” vehicles, i.e. vehicles that spawn at neither red nor blue base but somewhere else on the map where it’s equally easy/hard for both teams to get them?
- Like.
- Dislike.
- Indifferent.
13. Do you prefer if a map is or at least looks “natural” by having only comparatively few Forerunner-themed structures/objects like on Hemorrhage and Cliffhanger even if there actually are quite a few objects that just happen to be rocks, or do you prefer the Forerunner look?
- Natural.
- Forerunner.
- Indifferent.
14. Do you generally like or dislike maps that use special FX to make them look darker/brighter or more/less colorful, assuming it’s all within reason and it doesn’t become harder to see in general and spot your opponents?
- Like.
- Dislike.
- Indifferent.
15. Do you generally prefer maps that have only one or maybe two levels, or do you prefer multi-level maps like Countdown or H3’s Construct?
- One or two levels.
- Multi-level.
- Indifferent.
Thank you! =)
