4 v 4 v 4 v 4 arena

Say, there have been a lot of calls for FFA arena/pvp modes. Why not instead go for a 4 v 4 v 4 v 4 arena? There could be random and team versions just like we have now.

The game should be able to handle something like that becuse it allready handles 16 players in 8v8 PvP no problem.

Just make maps like the current pvp ones but with 4 starting points instead of 2.

Also, this suggestion works better for the cooperative bent of Guildwars than a straight out FFA where certain classes would be relatively useless.

I am in favor of something like this. I like "Big Wars" and large battles between more than one side.

Yes a random and teams version would be great. I also think there should be a point system for players that leave matches "before" a team loses, where they get negative pts for leaving early and positive pts for staying until the very end.

^ Only problem with that is if someone gets disconnected or has a crash. Then they're getting penalized for something they had no control over.

BIGGER. it can handle at least the 3 way team of 8 battles cos it does it in the tombs.
anyhoo why can't we have ascalon population sized battles?

If it is done, just ensure the map do not encourage camping. Otherwise it will be very boring.

I'd be up for 4v4v4v4 arenas, sounds pretty fun.

On the side-topic of large scale battles, a part of me wants ANet to put in something like Battlegrounds in WoW! (Incase ya didn't know, BattleGrounds is a 40v40 battle-map between the horde and alliance factions.)
