Battle Royale/Hunger Games

[Vector (DayZ) 2]

Has anyone/have any servers thought of hosting something like this yet? I think that with the way the mod is designed something like this could work quite well. Gathering, teaming up with/betraying other players and avoiding zed attacks would work SO well.

Obviously a problem is the spawn system and everyone appearing in different areas. The best place for people to assamble would probably be in the middle of the map, just north of Novy. And the players would have to have either random, or no inventory to make it much more interesting at the beginning.

Just wondering what peoples thoughts on something like this would be, this mod could be the perfect enviroment to try something like this :D

Other than the different respawn point what exactly is the difference from what we have now?

Proper perma death and, of couse, last person standing wins.

Bampin, just the once.

I'm actually quite suprised nobody would be interested in something like this lol, I know it's something I would love to take part in.

I'm deeply interested in that, but remember the "rules" of Battle Royale ?

If nobody dies each 12 hours, everyone dies.

Each 6 or 12 hours, one zone on the map is forbidden to get into, so that you gradually come closer and closer to each other.

And finally : The game takes place on an island that has no random weapons laying around, only abandoned houses that may content food, water, electricity or other common resources, so if you spawn with a Fork as your weapon, you'll be useless to everyone you meet unless you are lucky to loot a corpse.

We would need a custom map, because 225 km², and it being not an island doesn't really suit the whole Battle Royale thing, but i'm pretty sure that about half of it would be enough for a last man standing, ranging from 6 to 12 hours per session ( nobody could play three days in a row like in the Movie, or even 7 (?) days like in the manga )

I think the concept of Hunger Games, as being Games watched by many people, should be interesting, since there's weapons and random bonuses that can be given to the survivors, and there's much deadlier traps, since it's more in a fantasy way.

But there's no such thing as a Grid Map with zones that are forbidden, there's just an asshole chief of program that throws fireball at people when he wants them to move.

I think the main problem would be camping, maybe the need for food and water should be increased, so that it fits a 2-4 hours = 24h cycle, so it would really be a SEPARATE mod from DayZ.

I could help with design choices, but I'm no coder or artist.

I also think that unlike the Survivors of Battle Royale, who know each other, and are already friends or enemies, everyone is the "extra" guy that comes in just for fun, to murder people.

You see, it'll surely be a deathmatch mode, since I doubt there's any benefits from teaming up with someone, it would be a fragile alliance that has no purpose other than doubling the chance of you getting spotted, or to get shot while you eat or drink.

Maps too big. Make it a 500m radius of cherno and you've got yourself a fun submod.

@noctah, people will probably team up with their friends not randoms

I want to be Kitano :)

Would this not be entirely out of the scope of DayZ and better suit a new mod or something?
