The game starts out fine, until people in last place start to quit. Then it becomes a 5 man to a 4 man etc. Please bring back 8 man FFA.

Less people implies less chaos which means the best player will most likely win. Sure the match tends to get slow when people quit out of a 6 player game, but I would take slow and skillful over fast and random.
Sorry but I don’t agree with you. In my opinion FFA is supposed to be a fast pace unpredictable match. You always have to on your toes trying to out match anyone who comes across you. If everyone would stay in the game with 6 People it’s alright but they are always sore losers who quit. Then it becomes slow/camping. 8 people would compensate for anybody that quits
I disagree whole heartedly. 6 man is perfect. I quit playing 8 man because of all the nonsense that happens with cramming too many on to small maps. And not the good kind of nonsense. For example, and I’m not making this up, I recall one came where I was spawn killed eight times in a row. EIGHT!!! And it was common for me to get spawn killed 2-3 in a row a few times a game. Sometimes it happened because all except a couple were camping high spots and power weapons. Other times someone spawned right behind me. And these happened consistently every game. I was on both ends of this happening, and I always felt bad when I saw it happen to others, even if it meant I got a free kill. I also would get one shot on a person, then immediately get attacked by multiple others time and again, or have my killed yoinked from right in front of me. So it turned in to a game of luck where those who just happened to get good spawns came out on top.
Since they backed out down to six, I started playing it again and it’s so much more fun. I haven’t seen many quitters either, probably because of the penalties. It’s fun. And it’s fair. So let’s just keep it that way.
It’s perfect as six… and no FFA isn’t supposed to be “unpredictable” match. H5 is supposed to be geared for SKILLFUL and competitive play. Not frantic luck of spawn chaos. FFA is all I will play now. I stopped playing H5 practically when FFA was that eight player frantic mess.
6 man FFA is campy and slow and unskillful.
It’s too easy to stay alive and hold onto power weapons, making lucky spawns near power items on the start of the match even more of a factor in the matches outcome because you’re much less likely to get cleaned up, leading to easy sprees. This also decreases the amount of pistol vs pistol duels, which is the most skillful weapon in H5 by a wide margin. Instead we have more people walking around with easy precision rifles (BRs, DMRs, etc.) and overpowered garbage like the Storm Rifle and, to a lesser extent, the SMG.
I thought I wanted 6 man FFA, too. But decreasing the player count is just a band-aid solution to bad FFA spawns. We still have an underpowered utility weapon and poor weapon layouts. (FRG on Regret?? Shotty, Sword, Camo and Railgun on Overgrowth???)
