Often times when playing laser tag you have uneven teams, maybe in such cases it can be a free for all instead of team deathmatch? or maybe have free for all as a separate mode? (different screen or door in the laser tag lobby)
Yeah, I’d really like this actually.
I’d be more likely to play if no-team deathmatch was a thing.
I’m very bad at picking out color (and remembering what team I’m on for that matter) and details in the Laser Tag Arena (the low light neon map motif doesn’t help my eyes) so being able to just blast anything that moves could improve my ability to play adequately and want to queue for it.
In fact maybe have a separate room all its own thats just 24/7 no rules dm blasting. You can enter the room or leave at any time and as long as you’re in the room you can shoot each other. Points will be weekly like other scoreboards.
Drop in anytime shoot a bit and leave at your discretion.
I’d be a lot more likely to want to play laser tag with something like this.
This is a really good idea in my opinion! If I were to do it, personally I’d make it so that you can just enter or exit the arena whenever you want, kinda like a 24/7 Deathmatch server. I think this would be the best idea for several reasons:
- Laser Tag IRL is already played free for all (at least in my local arena), so it would make sense from a being true to the game standpoint
- There seems to be a problem with getting people in the lobby to play. If you could just drop into the Laser Tag arena and start playing right away, I think it would make the idea of playing a few games more appealing.
- No need to lock the arena out for up to 10 minutes at a time, just grab your friends and start blasting.
- It would give Laser Tag a little something to distinguish itself from the other multiplayer games in the plaza, since most of them require commitment.
A free-for-all in Laser Tag would certainly make it very interesting. No allies, no teams, just you trying to bag some points up.
A lot of times I want to show my more controller-oriented friends Laser Tag and being able to do Free-for-all or pick teams would make it much easier. I’d rather roll solo and let them team up but its left up to chance at the moment.
