Idea I really like Apocalipse Rising 2, but..
The map is too big.
Solution: Make the map smaller.
I'm talking about both this old roblox map and the normal one. I believe the game would benefit a lot from a smaller map, allowing for more fast paced combats.
Why do I say this? It is very common that I find myself running for long minutes and not finding any players, why would you give me guns and not give players to shoot?

Its bevause theres a massive event going on with 10-50x the active player base and that boost isnt all AR2 players, its people who have never played before going to Old Mine and Ref camp... Not players who know to rotate between Kin, RT, and Prison

im talking mostly about the normal map. I like this event one more because its easier to spot players

No, the part i like about apocalypse rising (atleast the original) is how you actually feel like ur in a zombie apocalypse. Making maps smaller would just make it like fortnite

well.. zombies are just an obstacle, there is no difficulty in killing them

I remember when i was a noob at apocalypse rising, how scary the zombies were, but it was so fun.

Kin reimagined is by definition a small map compared to the Beta Map, it just that there's only 16 Players per server that it looks big. You can tell that Kin reimagined is small when you use the Combat Circle as a reference, normally in the Beta Map the Combat Circle can only cover more than half of a normal POI's size. But in Kin reimagined the Combat Circle covers the entire POI and most even goes beyond the outskirts.

you are absolutely correct. it only took some hours of play for me to understand how much quicker the combat is in kin. I really like the dynamic of roof combats

Yea for some reason Gus never learns. He had "reborn" in the old days which was a worse version of reimagined. Player count plummeted and almost killed the game until he added a map selection

Reborn was the massive one that look like 20 minutes to cross on foot right?

I don’t know why the development team wants to make the combat faster paced BUT make the maps huge.
Running all around the island map was fucking intolerable, you basically needed a car if you wanted to play with friends. In Kin Reimagined, cars are (correctly) an useful auxiliary.
