8+ player ffa games?

Is it possible on bnet? I dont want to mention certain private server that used to have endless ffa games with maps showing a “golden age of ffa” at the loading screen.

I just got reforged and there are no ffa games on custom games ever and the game finder only does lame 4 player ffa games.

Is there a way to find 8+ ffa games here?

Custom games. You can have as many players as you want.

Custom games are not just for fancy scenarios and tower defense. You can use them to play regular Melee with any combination of teams or FFA however you want, you can even allow diplomacy.

There are no official maps with a player count greater than 12, but Reforged added support for up to 24 players, so if you build or find a map that can support that many, you can have that many.

Err, perhaps I didn’t phrase my question correctly. In theory yes, you can start a custom game with 8 or more players.

The thing there’s either never one up or nobody ever joins them, that’s why I’m asking if there’s something I missed or they just don’t happn in reforged at all. I saw a Grubby ffa game a short while ago with many players and asumed that he was in reforged, maybe he that was on a private server?

I assume it’s more due to Grubby being famous and quite probably being able to instantly fill custom game lobbies no problem.

That and he probably uses W3Champions which could have 8 player FFA queues. Wouldn’t know from experience, never used it.

Not casually, no. Among friends, sure.

Everyone is on reforged. Well there might be a few people playing old versions on private classic bnet servers but people who are on war3champions are still using the same game to play.

In the very early days of RoC there was a Team FFA mode, which was 2v2v2v2, but it was removed very early on.

Shoutout to the Unforged project!

Before this Reforged client debacle, there was, indeed, a golden age of FFA games on battle net hosted by PlayFFA. Unfortunately, I think PlayFFA is dead.

Well, yes, that’s why I’m asking here lol. Sadly it seems the ffa scene is dead on reforged, I tried using “warcraft3 champions” and the whole thing bugged out at login and my intermet became oddly slow, very strange I just uninstalled it and did a system restore.

I’ve never heard of anything like that happening, you may very likely have other issues on your PC and it just surfaced them. However, this is why most people don’t use mods.

You can certainly do FFA on bnet, but you’ll likely wait quite a while. Hit up some of the people in this thread and people know people and you can probably pull a group together.
