Setting Boundaries in Custom Arenas

I was thinking about Custom Arenas recently and an idea popped in my head; could we be allowed to set the boundaries of a map? For instance, could we be allowed to say only the middle of Legacy of the Foefire is a combat zone and everyone gets spawned around that area?

I believe having the ability to set boundaries around an area allows for less “running away to heal up” scenarios in the inevitable deathmatch arenas we’re going to get from customs.

I think we’d make new maps before we would do something like that honestly.

The problem is that player customization at the level you’re describing isn’t possible with how our content pipeline is set up. It’s much less work to just make a polished map built specifically for something like death match even if we don’t support the game mode officially.

But something as: Holding objectives grants no points or you simple cannot hold an objective. Something like this is possible yes?

Yup, we’ve talked about having the ability to turn off capture points.
