Player-Finding Compass @ 5-6 People Left

I think adding a player-finding compass when there are 5-6 people left in the game would be a really great addition to MCSG. Nowadays, I mostly only play maps that are short, such as Solar Frost and Demon's Breeze, because although I love Valleyside, Holiday Resort, and other bigger maps, they rarely ever end before the first refill (which is 14 minutes). It is just an idea to speed up the game so some players don't have to wait the entire 30 minutes to kill some guy in full poop who has been hiding in a corner to reach deathmatch... Here is how it would work in my mind:

  • All remaining players will receive a compass when there are only a certain amount of people left
  • The compass will locate the nearest player, but it will not tell you the player's name (This might even cause teamers to split up since they will only be locating each other which will be beneficial for people soloing)
  • (Possibru) You will receive 10-20 extra points for killing the player located by your compass
It is a pretty simple but significant idea that I think many players would enjoy. Let me know what y'all think :)

Sounds like the nexus. They have the same general thing that gives you a player tracking g compass. However on our servers i don't see a use for this, primarily due to the fact that all our maps are very very small and usually the games only last about 12 minutes (until refill)

I do not like this. I think something such as the dome closing in or something forcing/driving the players to the middle. This does not have the exact 'Hunger Games' feel to it.

I kinda have a love/hate relationship with this idea.
Good: It could really speed up some games
Bad: It just isn't...mcsg-ish :/

I disagree about it not having a use. I'd suggest playing a few maps like Holiday Resort, Survival Kindgom, The Fallen Empire, or any Teweran SG map. I gaurantee all of these maps will reach the first refill, and for maps like The Fallen Empire and some of the TSG maps, it will get close to the second refill.

I read the post after I posted this so I'm sorry for that. However, his/her post implies that the clocks are given somewhat early in the game. Everyone should have find gear by the time 5-6 are remaining.

But what if the teams don't split up and you've just finished with a fight?

I do not understand your question. If the teams don't split up, the compass will only point to themselves since they are always next to each other. However, they can still find you without the use of compasses.
