Re: The attitude of the lobby changes like the sea

In Response To: The attitude of the lobby changes like the seasons (Revenant1988) : I will sum it up like this: When we were in a small group , communication : was all about the objective, calling out enemy players, and Jennos yelling : at my holograms. : When we were all together as a large group , communication was all about : butt touching, strange battle cries, and Jennos yelling at my holograms. : lol : We were going to take GV but by the time our game finished he was already : with you guys. We did end up merging back a little later into the evening : for some HBO vs HBO games. : Personally, I really liked splitting into smaller groups initially (the lobby : was quieter, more objective and slayer based communication). We played : maps that as a big team you just can't do, and did some different : objective than usual. I felt like my appetite was satisfied, there was a : good balance between us vs the world and ourselves. : I was sad that Kermit couldn't stay longer, and a few folks showed up around : 8. Right now I'm thinking on how to tweak things and curious to see what : Snipe does next week. With better weather here, I do plan on being outside : more and I'll probably be starting up at my second job soon so I'm : thinking about moving the time we all meet back a little. I would like to : try again to split into 3 or more groups of 4 or 2 groups of 6 and have : everyone play a few games (maybe even a set number? Like Play 4 games and : meet back up?) against randoms, and then merge back for HBO vs HBO. : Either way, I had fun last night. We did end up playing one game of invasion, : but since it was on Break Point I'm not upset :D That sounds like a best-of-both-worlds plan. I did enjoy the mix of smaller and larger lobbies (and you're definitely right that callouts and planning gets thrown out of the window once larger parties come into play.) Playing smaller also reduces the chances of unbalancing the game so much that everyone leaves early--we had at least a couple of pretty competitive games in Squad (and then one where we spawn camped in both Falcons on Breakpoint, but yeaaaaahh.)
