When they host showdown for hats or guns there are so many people that even when everyone gets warped to the small arena there are like 6 people and the small arena is so small you can't dodge at all with 6 people.
You want to make sure there is as least amount of enemies as possible before the "sudden death" small arena begins. Avoid the center in the small arena. It's asking for trouble. Kill the enemy as fast as you can while dodging as many lasers as you can.
The small arena is rather large, as I can't see my opponent when I'm on the side. But I still like it. Plenty of space to dodge, even with 5 people.
And I like showdown how it is
The size of the small map is fine but it does need a 3 sec spawn proetection.... and the spawning when the game is crowded is horrible they put 5-10 ppl in one spot and make iZone look like call of duty.... spread out players at match start >.> not in corners with barrels surrounded by 5+ enranged rifles.
I agree with having spawn protection as spawning in the center of the map on that fort with a ton of other people almost always means instant death. Spawn protection would help prevent this from happening.
