By this logic the most beloved game mode is Beacon Rush, which is odd seeing how it recently got its own queue for a few days... You think they're watching us?

I wonder if those hating TDM may not hate it at all, just the maps they’re into?
I hate all game modes when in big maps, but in small maps, I do just fine...

Can't speak for others but for myself, no, it's the game mode that matters. I prefer playing with beacons. There's only one combination that I will prefer TDM mode: TDM in powerplant. The positions of the beacons and the spawn points can be significantly unfair. |

I think so...may be they have the same hypothesis and want to have some official data. They may also have a further hypothesis that there's not much room to milk with mixed mode+multiple hangers, and it would be more profitable to put forward a welcomed mode to boost traffic. God knows... |

KotH - simply because it is now in Random Mode. KotH would be fine if it was separate, but by putting it in Random, it forces pilots to have a hangar specific to running beacons since the points to ranking are on Beacon holding time and not damage. This sets KotH apart from the other 3 modes and makes it impossible to field a single hangar in Random at this point.
The fact that Koth keeps getting fiddled with shows you how unworkable the Mode is - what are we on, the 3rd major change to this mode on the test server?
All you have to do in this mode is have an Ecu Stalker, Ecu Strider, or Ecu Hover and then just shadow your blue buddies as they capture beacons --- and "share" the beacon until there's about a 5th of it left. Then you just move to where the next beacon will be. If your team loses, we'll, you'll still finish near the top since you STOLE Beacon points more than any other person on your team. KotH is way too easy scam this way and the scoring system guarantees scamming just like this.

Since I have only tested KotH in the beta and gave it a do not resusitate rating there I have never picked this game mode in game.
I hate Beacon Rush. I'm not a fan of having enemies spawn on top of me after I have nearly exhausted my bot destroying a beacon's defenders. Especially in solo matches where 99% of the time I get no backup from a random teammate. I don't actually enjoy playing this mode even when squading and having backup. I just hate it period.
When BR and Domination were mushed together in Random I played TDM exclusively only to avoid LPQ penalties. I'd change any daily tasks to anything but beacon related objectives and that was fine. I did especially well with my all light bot profile playing that mode actually. I'd prefer there be no match timer, beacon bar or "covers" though.
In fact if Domination removed the match timer and beacon bar I'd really enjoy Domination even more. Last man standing and/or most beacons taken. Not how long you hold the beacons or liberate but how many you actually turn to blue. Two ways to win so it needs two sets of rewards.

Strayed, you should really do something about the forum's censor messing with m?poo place?'s name. While I realize it's a somewhat contemptuous term for a Massachusetts native it's not actually a curse word and should not be subject to censorship in that manner. Bing search for the term M?poo place? - www.bing.com/search?q=m?poo place?&go=Submit&qs=ds&form=QBLH Lol, I appreciate it. Normally I would hyphenate it but I was not allowed to when registering here |

Wow. This poll has a reasonable sample size and noting KOTH and TDM make up over 90% of the votes speaks volumes. Staggering number!
Would have been better to allow more votes for a more accurate sample.
But either way, this sample is good enough and players have spoken. If the appropriate choice is not provided by Pix than it is clear that money comes first and enjoyment for players second. Not a sustainable position IMO.
