All big maps a great idea??

[Sonic]

I know there are 12 all new maps and they are supposed to be huge....but I think there should be at least 1 or 2 smaller maps. Sometimes when it is late I would rather play a game of Frostfire for like 10 minutes then a friggin half hour game. If all they have are big maps thats gonna take out a lot of fun. If you die and it isn't respawn then it's going to take a while before you get to play again. With small maps it doesn't take that long before a new round so it is constant gameplay, but that would suck with a huge map. I just think they should have a variety of sizes instead of all large maps. That is why I'm really hoping I'll see the old maps in the game. *crosses fingers*

You are given the option to limit the sizes of the maps to small, medium and full size in the create game menu.

I thought it was automatic resizing based on the number of people in the game? I've never heard that you can put 32 people in a super small map made for 4 people. What site did you see this on?

Just to clarify what flea and the others said.

As for the 12 maps, other issues as to the subsets of maps have been cleared up as well. Instead of the game choosing how big the map is, from the full map to the smallest subset, that decision is entirely in the hands of the host. If the host wanted to, he could cram 32 people in a tiny map or leave 8 folks wandering around a huge area, it's up to him.
