I've only played hungergames twice. First time I died right away.
Second time was today, I managed to stay alive until eventually it was just me and a team of like 5 people... Kind of lame. I didn't understand how the scoring worked until after the event. I went to xarsqopedia and discovered the final 15 get 1 token, while the absolute winner gets 5. Go figure, an extra token for each of the 5 people who were ganging up on everyone in there, and my only option really was to lay down and die lol..
anyways I thought of a solution that I believe makes the event a bit more balanced for all playstyles:
After 10 minutes: swarms of deathclaws enter the map attacking survivors
After 15 minutes: deathclaws continue coming, but also 'meteors' strike randomly all over the map in the form of high damage explosions.
After 20 minutes: deathclaws and meteor strikes continue, but now a poison gas cloud envelops the entire map, causing 60 damage every 5 seconds.
why I feel like this is balanced is because it basically means you need to gather supplies if you want to survive long enough to make it to the top spot. It doesn't mean you will be able to hide the entire time because you won't have enough supplies, and being in a team of 5 people doesn't really give you much of an advantage at this point either.
Thoughts?
