What’s new:
— TDM game mode: Team Deathmatch is a game mode where you have to destroy the whole opponent team to win the match. Beacon are switched off. You can choose this mode in battle mode menu.

Is there a time limit in TD? I stopped participating in these things.

Is there a time limit in TD? I stopped participating in these things. That's always been my issue with War Robots. I never cared for the status bar. Let the contestants battle it out for at least 10 minutes. If both sides are still functional, then go with beacon count and/or remaining number of bots. Not sure if it's a good idea to let them go at it indefinitely until the last opposing bot is destroyed, especially if it's down to one on one. Some poor half destroyed Natty might chase a Cossack or Stalker around Springfield or Canyon until the cows come home. The guy in the Stalker will be laughing and *pew-pew*ing away. He could make it last all night if he wanted to, or until the poor sod in the Natty had enough and ejected to save his sanity. |

Friggin horrible on iOS. Lag is so bad it's just unplayable. Their implementation of the game mode itself sucks. The one game I was able to play, as I expected, belonged to the team with the most dash bots, Inquisitors and orkans. The spawn/deployment points are stupid. As I stated in the feedback form, only Pix could take a concept with so much potential and turn out a turd like this.
This TS does less than nothing to spike my interest in this game mode. Once again they've managed to top the last worst TS session I've had. I'm starting to really, really hate this company.

Seriously it sucked!! The spawn points are idiotic, this mode can be good if made right but the current iteration is made for 3 year olds that just press random buttons on the screen

So your saying I should have some compassion for the dummy who plays a Natasha Camper setup in Deathmatch mode? Sounds like Karma is doing its job if you ask me..LOL.:-) |

A stalker doesn't have a prayer of taking down an Ancilot (at least I've never heard of it happening, especially if all he has are Aphids). The bottom line is, without a set time limit, a game could last forever if the battle got so boring, both players fell asleep. |

TDM is so bad, I deleted the test app so I wouldn't be tempted to try it again, and almost deleted the live one, too, just because. I'm about done 'testing' their crap. The environment sucks -- it's unstable and buggy as hell -- and the vast majority of 'testers' are 「bum-bum hole」 squids who have zero clue how to actually test and just want to play the gear they can't get in the live game. It's no wonder we get the 「dookie」 we get in the live game.

Agreed! Current spawn points are terrible! It drops anyone spawning into a bullet storm as skirmishes tend to cluster around spawn points especially in small maps. Current mechanics favor only a narrow band of viable bots/builds. Taran Haechi, Orkan Haechi and Tharnage. Anything else you seem to spawn in with dies. Anything bigger you spawn in with takes a few steps, then dies.
Spawn points become wells of silver.
I couldnt run anything I wanted to test.

Besides the Idiot players, my biggest problem with this implementation is there is no point of reference when you drop. They don't show the original blue and red home spawning points, so unless you're intimately familiar with every detail of the map, you have no idea where you're spawning. EVERY time I dropped, by the time I figured out where I was and where the reds were, I was either 90% dead or already selecting my next bot. The only bot I scored any damage at all with was my first bot.
The other big problem I had was after every new spawn, it would show the Menu screen again as if I had hit the menu button to select another bot. So my bot is on the ground, but I can't move it because I'm looking at the friggin menu trying to figure out what's happening. Just one more frustration on top of the many other frustrations.
I was really looking forward to testing this mode, but in usual fashion, Pix made it a pile of ?poo-poo?.

Battlefield report:
Gott im himmel! I just played at the test server and its swarming with haechis! Its almost like the Aliens movies. You encounter one and you work with others to kill it. 1 vs. 1 if youre lucky (or sigourney). But packs of ravenous mind less haechis foaming at the mouth?!
I tried a few builds that worked for me. plasmahad got blown to bits. Zeus Carnage was incinerated, Tharan Boa was borked, Tharnage got ripped to shreds and Burnage (ember carnage) died screaming in agony! Even my aphid patton died from sheer frustration at the wall of interlocked ancilles!
One or two is manageable. Survivable even. But three or more will cement the haechi as the dominant life form on the planet..er..server.
Sigh..its almost as if you should play one or die trying.
P.S. Ive seen the odd ancillot, bulgasari and rhino survive a bit longer but under skilled piloting.
