4 on 4... I hope that's just one mode.

4 on 4 and a map that'll be the size of a basketball court! You would have thought the devs would have clicked on by now with how well PUBG is doing and just open up their map to allow for some serious PVP action but oh no that would be too easy so we'll just dish out some boring 4v4 instead....

i dunno, that seem to be exactly what fortnite recently did and watching gameplay it looks boring as hell, just endless running across a huge map only to get shot by some guy hiding in a shed.... not to say this looks particularly interesting either mind you.

Sad to see Ghost Recon fall away gameplay wise so much! Unbelievable they choose 4v4 for PvP, Should of been 8v8 at the very least.

What makes people think they can just add a mode like that to any game? Who knows how complicated adding a 100 player PVP mode to a game like Wildlands actually is, outside of the developer. I get why people think it's a neat fit, but it's probably more complicated than you think. Like, "oh no that would be too easy"? Really? LOL.

That said: no one is going to play this.

It certainly isn't boring for the ten+ million people playing PUBG. It's sorta the hot new thing.

And I don't know whose gameplay you were watching but they must have been pretty bad if they continually succumb to turtle tactics. That's an effective way of getting yourself into the top 10, but you're not winning many games locked in a bathroom. The game mode has a mechanic that flushes people out of cover and drives people towards a central location that continually shrinks.

Yea I am saying that if they're getting killed by campers continually there's a problem with their approach. The game type doesn't really reward camping as highly as you may think, because there's a mechanic that flushes people out of cover. A wise man once said, "only noobs rush in." But anyway.. I wouldn't have figured on it having MASS APPEAL either.. but it does. Epic was smart to copy it.

Squads make it better too.

It's probably NOT easy to do. But having at least 8v8 SHOULD have been the plan all along. GR has always been predominantly a multiplayer game, and was one of the first online console multiplayer hits when Xbox Live launched 15 (?) years ago. To even launch the game without a multiplayer component was a monumental FAIL. To then wait this long to add a 4v4 mode is a joke. So let's all cross our collective fingers that this is not indicative of the actual full blown multiplayer release.

Yea I wasn't saying this was all that or anything. I don't have a problem with smaller player counts but I think they can do a lot more with this game too. Adding a battle royale mode could be a huge undertaking for all I know though. Epic whipped one up in Fortnite pretty quickly but that's an entirely different scenario.
