Hello H1 Community! Mutepanda here.
I am aware that H1 has made a small comeback with the release of the Z1 playable map. Some old players have come back and now lobbies that used to contain 20 players now have a full 100+ players.
With the increase of players, it's nice to be playing H1 again, but something new needs to be introduced that will differentiate H1 from other Battle Royale games current in the market.
H1 still has a unique combat style that is fast, gun-play based and gritty. So it has it's own little home, but I have a game mode to propose that would further help separate H1 from other BR titles...
Fight-or-Flight.
-This game mode would consist of lobbies containing only 15-25 people.
-The entire playing field would be contained within one of the few major cities on the standard Z1 map (Pleasant Valley, Ranchito, Cranberry.)
-The gas would begin on the edges of town with a brief 30 seconds before it begins moving. Movement would be slow, but constant. Always pressing players inward.
-Total game time would aim to be 10-15 minutes.
-Players spawn with M9 pistols - evenly spaced away from other players. (No parachute in mechanic).
-In duos or squads, teams would spawn together to prevent teams being on opposite sides of the map and getting into 5v1 or 2v1 situations with no hope of their teammate assisting.
-Explosives would be removed, as to focus the players on gun-play.
-Smoke grenades would be turned on, but no other nades.
-**Vehicles are questionable.**
-With the ever encroaching gas, there is a good chance the end game would end up being "Gas fights". So keeping the gas doing a steady 1 or 2 damage through the whole game may work well.
With the smaller player base currently on H1, stream sniping is a real issue. The Twitch personality 'Ninja' made reference that stream sniping was one of the main reasons he stopped playing the game. Smaller lobbies would split up a lobby of 110 into 4 smaller lobbies, making sniping harder and more enjoyable for streamers that are being plagued by snipers.
This game mode would also open opportunity for intense smaller tournaments to be held in smaller environments than arenas or online where ping can be an issue.
I hope someone reads this and likes the idea. I should think it would sell well as the H1 community likes gun-play and intense fights - both contained in this one package.
Mozeltov.
