The New TDM is STILL.... Advantage Camper

I hate BR too but I won't eject, I'll play but I'm not happy about playing it. I used to love TDM but I don't like the extra cover on the small maps like Valley and Dead City. I thought there was enough cover already and adding more just makes the maps hard to navigate.  I'll probably just do my tasks each day and be done for the day until Random goes away.


The up side is I won't feel compelled to spend all of my Au on upgrading weapons as quickly as I can as I won't be playing as much. 

Just played 3 games on my 6/6 android account. Got powerplant, Yam and Shenzhen. Have to say they were 3 great games. Yes there were campers, loadz of trebs and hydras, but to be honest fairly ineffective. I had all close range and with the cover had no problem getting at the redz. Have the holloween Orkan Kimiho on that account and he was playing havoc in the cover. Other close range bots were all doing fine, loads of corner shooting opportunities. The account is in diamond now so every fecker i run into has at least 2 levels higher gear (most are 3 or 4), but the cover really does help avoid damage while still dishing it out.

As before however one blue down and your team is goosed from the outset. Hard to come back from opening at five nil down.

Yes, Natasha Zenit/Noricum does have great area coverage, but Knife fighters can push through by using cover to cover and walking in a zig-zag motion, the trick is to keep moving and keep an eye out for other knife fighters.

Just then on Moon map TDM, I waited before I spawn in my first bot to see what the enemy team deploys in, it was what I was expecting a zenit/noricum natasha, so I spawn in my Aphid jesse,  closed the distance quickly due to the mobility of the Light bot and gave him a taste of my wrath to campers: 3 aphid volleys to the face, destroyed him while he tried to get away helplessly.

I haven't seen a single Hydra pilot since mid-November and that's why I aimed for a light-medium hanger to counter Natasha snipers.

TDM is a no-no to me,because I am not playing this game to just kill the reds.Beacon rush I will play,but I dont like it.Domination is where your brain have to actually think,domination is the reason I fell in love with this game.I am a chess master,thats why I am good at this game.Need strategy,tactics,knowledge and planing before acting.They need to change back to the option where I can choose my mode,before I played 17 out of 20 games in domination,now its 50-50.In beacon rush peapole with better robots and weapons have way too much advantage over me,in domination I that advantage is almost none!

I chose Jesse over Patton for mobility.

The right thing to do is only add options, don't remove them from a game, otherwise you risk alienating the players.

There's a strong chance. But there's not enough of a player base to support one button for each game mode and still provide adequate MM which is the problem. My opinion is they can only support two "buttons" with the infrastructure they have set up. Dont  forget each platform has it's own playerbase. If all the platforms were combined then this wouldn't be as much as an issue. 

I'm not a developer but an improvement comment I've always had for them from like a year ago, was look, if you can do it, and pay for the license or whatever you need to pay for, you should pony up and do it. If you're servers can't handle it, invest in high end ones cause you can definitely have more options with a larger player base imo. But going back to the the topic, I would rather have a rotation of domination AND a new game mode every say month or something of that sort. 

Developers would probably say, oh well you have hangers to address the random modes. Anyhow, my 0.02 on that issue. I'm not a fan of mashing them together into random as well. 

I too am in Champion and I just bumped all my Shocktrains to 11 for TDM. I love watching red scurry like ants when the Shocktrains hit them. 

OG, we've played with and against each other a few times. Whenever you are in your ST set-ups as a Red, I focus you down brother lol! The Shock train is the worst part of this game if you don't own them.

Yeah, I get what you mean, in Canyon TDM, I rolled out my Shocktrain Hover first and the whole red team was prioritizing me as the biggest threat.

They were really desperate to get rid of my Shocktrain Hover ASAP, had some reds do a full lap around Canyon because I kept gliding away to keep a distance of 500m.
