On larger, more open maps, you will no longer be able to defrost your team mate from across the map. This will make it more challenging, will require more player movement on the larger maps, and in some cases, not draw out some maps. Was playing with the distances this morning with @@Hunter and @@Astronomer, thank you guys, to make it so not too close or too far so I hope what is set works for both a challenging change while still maintaining a good time.

It forces people to move in larger maps making it more fun and somewhat more difficult to play, rather than camping back and thawing from clear across the map. Awards

There is always a problem getting folks to thaw and now that it is harder there is even less effort resulting in players being frozen for long periods which in turn causes them to leave. It also causes players to stay in thawing range of their spawn. Not the intended result I know but there it is. KaptCrunch, Hefe33, Merlin007 and 2 others 5 Awards

I like the idea of it, and it seems that it would help ... but it hasn't played out that way.. maybe shorter time limit would speed things up? Aracefan 1 Awards
