I've been doing some thinking and I've come up with the idea of neutral hosting FFAs and 4v4s, but also tracking individual winners and losers via the H2 XP based ranking system.
Basically, I will side with a team and hide somewhere with the least amount of traffic while the game goes on. After the game, I'll leave, update each players level on a forum post so everyone can see it, and open a new lobby so it's not always the same 8 people.
The only problems I potentially see with this are getting too many players in lobby before I can close the party, afk players (which will be heavily punished via ranking along with quitters/cheaters), and not being able to boot. There are ways I can adjust win and lose xp changes to account for these things, but that's about it. The nice thing though is that I will actually be in the game to spot this.
There will be two different rankings. One for Free For All and one for 4v4. 4v4 will be a mix of slayer and objective with gametypes and maps being chosen randomly with an app on my phone. Each gametype has been edited to increase competitive nature. BR/SMG starts, radar on since people can't really call out unless in discord, and map default weapons.
Gametypes include:
Team Slayer
King of the Hill
Oddball
Multi-Flag
1 Flag
Neutral Flag
Multi-Bomb
1 Bomb
Neutral Bomb
FFA will only have slayer on a random map.
I will be testing this throughout the day and editing this post for the ranks.
