    Default multiplayer map sizes

    Does anyone know if the multiplayer maps will small or large?

    My guess (and hope) is that the mp maps will be rather small. It is deathmatch not hide and seek. And if you look at the dark atmosphere this game "breathes" it also makes more sense.

    well, if its 4v4 at most, then just enough for that then. It should be small enough for constant action, but enough space for the cover feature to be exploited fully. You know, like you guys flank, stuff like that
    So....anyone hear of a game called Gears of War 2? Its supposed to be really cool, but I dont know...

    A-HA! I knew it! The Hypercane was the one who killed Kennedy on the grassy knoll!

    I'm thinking they'll range from pretty tight to decently large. I'm thinking maps around the size of Splinter Cell Mercs vs. Spies online.

    i think it all depends on wut vehicles are going to be in the game. I mean, halo2 maps could be tiny like Warlock or huge like Containment. I think there were 7 vehicles on Halo2 and we haven't exactly seen any for GoW so i think it it hard to say. Right now tho, since there aren't any official vehicles in GoW, i think the maps will be medium to small. I mean, come on, wut fun is it ducking and covering if the map is so big you can't shoot the other guy?

    I hope the Armadillo is playable in GoW. That thing is awesome! Imagine, it would b like the Leviathan in the upcoming UT07 game

    Have you played Halo 2? I think the map sizes will be about the same as Turf.

    You can have a large map with 4v4. You just have to make it right. Large, heavy amount of cover, type interiors with a slightly more open outer area. However, only maps that would be large would be vehicular mainly, esspecially if you got a brumak with you (that be cool).

    i think a map like zanzibar with a main base and a starting location wwould be cool with a whole bunch of cover a long the way

    I think that the maps will be along the sizes of maps like lockout but packed with cover. Also I thougt it would be cool to have a map inside a building, hide behind a door burst out and chainsaw a guy.

    In COD2 which is 8 players also, I like the medium-large sized maps, mainly because on the small maps it becomes a noob fest. It's just everyone running around with a shotgun and grenades.

    Just remember, EPIC has made multiplayer games before and they know what they are doing. I think the maps will generally be small only because it give it less of a run n gun feel but there probably will be some larger ones as well

    I cannot wait to play this game in mp. Imagine this: Your team is under fire in a closed area. You barely could take cover behind a rock. Then you want to shoot but your machinegun jams! because you did not reload at the exact time. PANIC!! The enemy comes closer and you managed to finish them with the ,already, infamous chainsaw AWESOME!!!

    the need for confrontations will come first and formost, and the maps will be sized appropriately according to this. i am looking for some small to med maps, the size of the e3 build but i think big maps will worsen it. all your going to need is a sniper rifle on those ones and an easy victory will come swiftly. but its epics game, they know what they need to do to make em fun and i have every faith in their ability to craft such arenas of death!

    I have total faith that Epic is gonna make awesome maps, whether they be the size of my big toe, or as big as the African continent.
