Dom, BR, TDM: Which is Your Favorite?

Dom for me. Classic old school mode. I only do tdm when I'm tanking my 2nd acct back to Bronze. Just don't care anymore.

Hovers are easy to hit. Just lock on target and let the Plasma from my Treb Butch say hello. That being said, if you don't have a lock prior to it hovering, it's much more difficult to lock onto. 

I used to love TDM but the new cover that they added screwed it up royally in my opinion. 

Beacon Rush. Tactical improvisation is a skill, and BR requires a high degree of it.

It would be a lot more enjoyable if Pixonic didn't dumb down the current meta so badly. Everything is point, click and annihilate.

You mean domination right? BR gives you a hope in hell on these maps because you can take the beacons and don't have to march across the map to hold them.

I like Beacon Rush. It requires some strategy. The game is much more fast paced and fun in my opinion during Beacon Rush. Domination just takes too long for me. Especially when you have a hangar of heavy bots, domination just takes forever to get into the action. Beacon Rush you can just spawn in or away from the action as you desire. TDM has some strategical points in that staying alive is important. That's more or less the reason why you see so much camping, long range weaponry, and RDBs in TDM, because staying alive is the key to victory.

Dom because it's all we had for so long, it's like home. But the new tdm with the new spawn points and all the extra cover is pretty fun. I like it way better than it's original release.

No, I mean BR. On Springfield, if you spawn on the side close to center beacon. All you gotta do is take center. It's over. Power plant, spawn close to twins and dock while other team spawns on hill. Again, over. Yama, whoever takes center first, over. The symmetrical maps are better. Moon and dead city it really doesn't matter who has center.

I know this applies to domination to a degree but at least in domination you can push someone off the beacon and take it. I've had so many times on BR where I push bots off the beacon, turn it white and have reds spawn on a white beacon.

I see a lot saying there's more skill involved in BR. I disagree. The only strategy you need is a fast bot to beat all others to the key beacon and then just plop your fatties on the beacon till you win. Becomes a who has the most firepower and best spawn affair. About the only good thing with BR is a lot less camping. But with that said, you lose a dynamic that requires skill to beat. Just my opinion[/quote]


I would dispute this. Many times, I've been in matches where blues have held CB on Yama for the first five minutes. The reds have been picking away from a distance, slowly taking out blues with Zeus, Trebs, and RDB's. At about 5:30 or so, the reds move in with Thunder Carnage and Acilots. Blues are badly depleted, and can't hold center beacon for long.

During events, I can't stand BR. I do Dom for beacon capping and wins and TDM for kills.

For regular play, Domination or BR. Domination in my opinion is where the true War Robots skilled play takes place.

Man I laughed when I read this, so true.
The exception to the centre beacon rule IMO is Shenzhen. 
I say Let Em Keep It. Spawning there is spawning into a crossfire kill zone.
Hold the two sides and you've won.
Realistically in any gametype (as in BR and DOM) you only need three.
When I was playing CoD and playing the GT DOM, I use to say many a time "let em keep A/B/C (whever applied)", but there was always someone who couldn't help themselves and try to keep all three.

IF you have some coordination and take a hostile beacon in threes you can turn it around, but solo breakthroughs usually wind up on the wrong end of two or more fatties.
