If you have heard about super Mario maker and super expert run, this concept would be familiar too you.

You get 100 lives (attempts). You select a difficulty and try to beat X stages before you run out of lives. Every time you restart a level or get eliminated etc. you loose a life.

Easy : 16 stages/levels (more then 30% win rate?)
Normal : 12 levels (10-30%)
Expert : 8 levels (3 -10%)
Super Expert : 6 levels (>3%)

The levels are randomly selected based on the parameters above (not sure what numbers Nintendo uses, but this is just an example).

Figured this could be a good addition to Single Player, and it's targeted towards new as well as veteran players. It could perhaps replace the 'Play Random' option. Also it's a good format for YouTube videos (well at least for super Mario. I think it would transfer to WarZone as well).

I really like that idea ^^

rly cool idea. tho seems to me it wouldnt be challenging what so ever if you would have 100 lives to beat 6 "super expert" SP levels as imo 3% i a ton imo.
the reason i think it wouldnt be challenging is that you cant rly trust the winrate due to 95% of people who play those are fairly bad in wz such someone that knows what he doest probably could even beat "super expert" with 100 lives left

a good example is my newest level https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer/Level?ID=1214467
882 tries only once beaten. i think once some good people try to beat it it will quickly get a much higher winrate than it has now as it definetly isnt as hard as someone would think by looking at the winrate.

Well, if anyone wants to do a test run go for it :P However, I am not sure how much lower then 3% you can go. Right now the 30th most difficulty level has 0.52% win rate. You would want the pool to be more then 150 levels or whatever it is if you do 1%.

Anyway, part of the fun is that some hard levels you could beat in few tries. However, then you could hit a run-killing level that takes all your attempts. Hopefully, if something like this is implemented, it also creates a proper incentive to make hard levels. Right now, the normal/easy levels get's all/most of the plays.

Also, just playing the newest SP level does get a bit dull after a while. So making it a challenge makes it more fun. Might even be a good way to hand out some points for playing community levels so those guys are not stuck at sub level 10.

the only "run-killing level" i can immagine of are "bonne chance" aka luck levels :P

I like your idea and I am willing to test it out or help create a template! :)

I think some changes are needed, like number of lives and win rate of the bracket, cause I honestly think I could go for 1000+ levels with 100 lives at easy stages (30%+ winrate). Also going for 100 lives would take a fairly long time!


Maybe something like:

Easy: 20 lives and 25-40% win rate levels
Normal: 40 lives and 15-25%
Hard: 60 lives and 8-15%
Expert: 80 lives and 3-8%
Super Expert: 100 lives and <3%

you could go 1k+ level with 100 lives on easy.. but many people cant i noticed. i did some easy levels and thought its easily atleast 80% winrate and what happened? 30% winrate ^^

I think the winrate usually is lower than it "should" be.
People like me instantly surrender if I don't like the AI's start for example.

seems like you wouldnt like my stalemate scenarios then ^^

Joi, I like none of your fucking levels.

I just tried the one you linked in here :D

how do you know you dont like something when you never tried it ^^

if you dont like my levels cause you think they are luck required (the level i linked isnt luck required to beat it but luck required to make it easier or harder) then you should try this one https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer/Level?ID=1161882
0% luck needed to beat it. (a lot of luck needed however for record time)

I tried some, never won a single one :)

well if so then i think the problem is clearly without a doubt you and not my wonderful scenarios :P

interesting concept!


@tbest any updates?

im going to record later a run probably.. if im not lazy.. and if there are any none luck depending scenarios *cough* lepanto :P

how are you going to pick the levels? rng?

just going to the most difficult levels and selecting some how i feel like.
