we need a forge maps matchmaking playlist because there are always 4 pages of custom game lobbies in the customs browser with only 1/24, 1/24, 2/24, 1/24, 1/28… on and on and on.
what there needs to be is a matchmaking playlist that plays all the regular game modes in Quick Play, except on Complete forge maps.
we need to put focus and emphasis on 4v4 sized maps that work with all the regular game modes in quick play.
its great that there is all these new big team battle maps where people scale terrain and bridges and primitives and satellite dishes as big as the forge browser will allow, and have this huge grand idea for big team battle maps and massive CTF games like Sidewinder snow wars, except there needs to be a specific matchmaking playlist to suck all the people who want to play big team battle on new custom forge maps into a single lobby so that these new maps that people put effort into are filled up the way they are meant to be, instead of spreading 1 out of 24 players across 18 different New Forge Big Team Battle Maps 24/7, just make a matchmaking playlist for Big Team Battle Forge Maps
and make a Quick Play Forge Maps playlist. there needs to be some sort of quasi-official committee that votes on implementing new 4v4 forge maps into this new matchmaking playlist on a frequent and regular basis; preferably monthly.
every month new maps are rotated into these Quick Play Forge Maps and BTB Forge Maps playlists. these new maps are identified by this forge committe (people can post their new forge maps and go through an “matchmaking-application-process” to have their 4v4 arena maps considered for being rotated into this New Forge Maps playlists. the forge committe would inspect these new maps being considered and make sure invisible barriers are in place, all the required game mode objectives and plates are in place, and there are no outrageous or wrongful scripting brains going on in the map being considered.
Likewise, there should be an FFA Rumble Pit Forge Maps playlist for 8 player FFA game modes.
i really dont wanna play parkour, duck hunt, or mongoose races, and all of these mini game gametypes (however phaseshift is pretty cool) that aren’t normal quick play or big team battle or ffa gametypes needs its own sporadic heydays within the customs browser, outside of the realm of semi-competitive oriented 4v4 forge maps.
already there are more than enough new maps to set up a years worth of: each month, 8 new forge maps are rotated in to the 4v4 Forge Maps playlist. these maps are balanced, unique, and might not be up to e-sports standards, but showcases the ideal “These are some of the best new maps we’ve brought through the forge map 4v4 matchmaking approval process this month”
lets get it done!
