MonsterHunt is 2 gametypes, sorta kinda maybe...ish

Post by EvilGrins »

With the initial release of MonsterHunt there were two gametypes included: MonsterHunt & MonsterArena. In all the time since I've seen very few new maps for MonsterArena.

When I go looking for games to jump into online there's a tab for MonsterArena but there's never anyone hosting for it.

Any idea why MonsterArena never really caught on?

It was booooooring. It was mainly a mod encouraging a single smaller arena with only one huge, powerful monster. You can only sit with a spinning minigun for so long before you go "OK, that's enough. I'm tired of this."

There are exceptions of course, I downloaded a bunch of MH - MA maps in packs and not all are around a single "boss", most have several ones while spawning smaller monsters as well but JackGriffin is totally right, it gets boring after a while unlike MH that feels like an adventure or something.

The GateWays mod is pretty much a complex monster arena mod on steroids, since it's played on existing CTF maps and you can pick any kind of monster to appear it has a player base.

Hitman chatted me about Gauntlet just this morning, a similar game mod. I specced a little and even though it needs a serious bit of rework and polish the overall mod was fun and solid.

Man, with Higor coding the game and ensuring bots worked and Loathsome adding his flair for all things non-human....That would be just Epic.
