This kind of thing would be nice but very expensive for Relic.



This is the biggest assumption on these forums. I have strong doubts this is the case when the vast majority of the playerbase plays the campaign and skirmish missions.

3v3's / 4v4's usually require less skill to play. Why? Because youre not on your own, if you fail to play successfully there is still someone else to back you up. If there isnt, then its very likely that you will lose the game. But i hope you know what i mean.

From my very own playing experience, and not with only Randoms but with clanmates vs another clan too, i can can say that i barely need the knowledge, the micro, the general game awareness that i need in a 1v1 or 2v2.

Thats because, as already mentioned, 1v1 or 2v2 feels more like chess. You need to know the game. And you need to know how to control the game, you need to have micro skills and a sense of macro. I think that you gain more skill by playing the smaller gamemodes. Because they pose a way greater challenge than big gamemodes do. I can assure you that a 4v4 team of dedicated 1v1 players will smash a team of dedicated 4v4 players.

4v4's have been and probably will always be, giant slugfests, with a lot of fuel caches and a very quick lategame. And then it becomes a giant tank battle.

1v1's and 2v2's however, are more about game knowledge, timing and careful planning. They simply require more user input.

And when people think of multiplayer RTS games, the majority surely thinks of competetive, skill based games. 4v4's simply arent capable of providing that experience. Because they werent designed that way and they dont play like that.


To any dedicated 4v4 player out there, i recommend trying out the smaller gamemodes extensively. You then may realize that they may be based around smaller skirmishes, but the skill cap is set higher and the tension that comes with a close game, will feel higher too. And the satisfaction that comes with it.

I dont think that you can judge the gamemodes if you didnt try them in ranked automatch.
