: I've not read the interview yet.
: But hope you get a game added to Action Sack.
: Problem with AS games is that they must be simple and very easy to pick up

: Games like you Spartan Run, where players run to stay in the hill, would just
: confuse the mess out of first time players. Chances are that they would
: start shooting at others and then die b/c they didn't run. Unless someone
: explains it to them, they will just continue to stand there not knowing
: what to do. Granted, they may start running after seeing others do it, but
: they still might not realize that they must stay in the hill and beat the
: others to win.

: Building a Action Sack game/map is a lot like building a map for MP and all
: gametypes. A lot of things to take into account.

It isn't a lot like doing that, it literally IS doing that--so, yeah, the stuff that works fine in custom games when there is a host to explain things and handle situations like broken maps won't work in matchmaking. An experience LIKE Speedrun could maybe work if 343 created a carefully explicit dedicated game type, but even then it is a FFA one-life experience. It already has two strikes against it. When you factor in stuff like join in progress..

Everything that I put forward uses its base game type as it would normally be played--the only slight exception is Warthog Chase, but as long as players are trying to control the hill (as king of the hill is normally played) then the game still works--there's really not a wrong way to play Warthog Chase. There's the intended way, but there's no wrong way.
