As an aside, I loved Tribes 2 construction mod.
- everyone 8y agoI dont know but I'd bet theres an old quake mod that makes that small change.
- jaegerpicker 8y agoit's not a small change, it completely changes the style and feel of the game play.
- Kiro 8y agoJust stop. You clearly have no idea what a Battle Royale game is.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoNetworked DOOM would like a word.
- user5994461 8y agoLast I recall from playing unreal 2004, there is a slider to select how many life players have when starting a death match. Battle royale was available, long before battle royale was cool. There were also a lot of other gameplay available on top of death match, all built in: team death match, assault, onslaught, capture the flags, domination, etc...
- Kiro 8y agoNo, you need the blue circle, looting and big maps as well. Just having one life is not enough.
- user5994461 8y agoThere is looting. Weapons, ammo and equipment appear in defined locations at various times. If you look at good players who win their games, it's a lot about being at the right place at the right time. Get the best stuff and locations for yourself and don't let opponents have anything.
- Kiro 8y agoIt's not the same kind of looting. In Battle Royale you need to search through houses, locations and move over the map to gather loot and when you kill someone you take their gear. Loot doesn't spawn after start and it's definitely not in defined locations. Sorry, but you're talking about something completely different.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoI think this is more of a current iteration of BR. I would say BR is a little more generic than this. My idea of it, which might not be exactly right I will admit, is just this: A battle royale game is last-man-standing or winner-take-all. The looting, houses, starting gear -- this all seems like variation more than essential. It seems like what you're describing is definitely the mainstream take on the genre right now, but I think you could make another variant that isn't like the popular ones today but is still a BR.
- Kiro 8y agoFair enough, I guess it's subjective what the actual minimum requirement is but I kind of agree with the Wikipedia article personally: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royale_game https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royale_game
- checkyoursudo 8y agoReasonable.
