And it blows big time! I just wanna play domination, why do they have to fork things up all the time, I mean it’s just one stupid update after another. When was that last update that got a good overall response?

When was that last update that got a good overall response? I dunno, I kinda like TDM and the Halloween theme, plus domination and beacon rush are still available, also new skins are amaze |

Yeah, I'm not impressed by the Random mode either. I'm sure some people hate the Beacon Rush mode, but I prefer it. If you to start back from home like before then it favours faster bots.
Death match might be fun for a change but played once so far by mistake and din't like it. With not beacons to cap it's one dimensional and I have to ask why would you bother to have any light bots in your hangar?
Maybe I will get out my heavy hitters and try again when my goal is to get damage/kills. But I doubt it will catch on.
I dunno, perhaps pix are struggling to generate new interest in a game that is getting old/stale for some. I don't suppose I'll still be playing in 6 months whatever they do. For now it's still fun but I just can't see how they can keep the same gamers interested long term.

I agree light bots are kinda useless, maybe pix could make some modifications so light bots get higher speed for TDM and are harder to hit. As far as continued interest, I believe enhancing the special abilities that some bots have (higher shield health for Galahad/Gareth, shorter cooldowns for abilities like jump and rush) more maps, give bots that have no abilities new abilities ( idk teleportation?) and maybe add things like slower/faster aiming for heavy/ light bots, and maybe like bots that actually go invisible. |

I don't mind the death match mode now but don't play it. It's good for those who don't want to cap beacons and just kill stuff to have somewhere to go and do that.
I've noticed fewer campers in the beacon rush/domination mode since. I just wish I could choose beacon rush because the drag of marching back from base after a loss is tedious.

That's why I run a mostly medium/light bot hangar. I'm fine with either Domination or Beacon Rush. I pretty much only throw in a heavy when I have a heavy task to do - like today I dusted off my DB Griffin for that 400k damage with a heavy bot task. The minute I hit 400k with it, it goes back into rotation and I'll bring back my Jesse or Carnage.

TDM has given tankers a new place to live. In TDM a pilot can seed a blue loss easier by popping the top on all their bots. It gives red the frags, but awards them to no one player. I like death match except for that aspect. Without chasing beacons your damage and thus silver payout increases. Useful if you need to bank some for high level upgrades. With that said my favorite mode remains Domination. Red has the same trudge back to action, though it's brutal when blue is raiding red spawn and you're on Springfield or Yama. I structure my hanger to accommodate. 500m and 600m weapons on your mid/late bots gets you back in range/action quicker. And having a lite fast bot available late can be really useful.
I never cared for the spawn bombers in beacon rush. Always made quick wins or losses for me. Neither serving me well.
