nice meme

If anyone doesn't get the joke, it's cause all 3 Gametypes almost always come down to just deathmatch.

At least you could have put some effort in that and write it as a haiku. ATM: *yawn*

This joke is a bit late, since Russ has already talked about this during the last Townhall. It wasn't acknowledged for some time, as far as I know. But now they are working towards fixing it in the near future.

So... points for making a succinct post. But the timing is a bit off.

Cool story, bro

[Cyborne Elemental]

Russ is making some good first steps to fix the problems with the gamemode types, because OP is right, its all the same pretty much.

i like the changes to conquest, but i'm not clear on how the changes to base capping help assault, as they just discourage people from capping in that particular mode.

lets hope that domination has a little bit more depth than Dominate the enemy team by shooting them till they are all dead to win

Some time = 3+ years.

It took 3+ years for PGI to realize they put 3 names + CW on 1 mode.

You created a Smurf account just to type that make-no mess in here? OMG! "Call the Bus!"...

Well... at least the other modes don't have the stupid DOTA style maps. DOTA ruined RTS gaming. It is such a dumb concept.

The dota style maps would actually not even be the worst - IF they didn't ignore all the things that take place on the way to your enemy's base. Pretty apparent that they've never played (probably never even watched a match) one of those popular mobas before and just wanted to try to cash in by using the map design.

It's also why respawns completely don't work in CW - there's only 1 single objective layered in behind skirmish.

It's just dumb.

THIS is good gameplay for something on the scale of Community Warfare or hell, even PUG matches:

I'm not particularly a fan of the dota style adoption either, just saying that the reason it doesn't work is because they have nothing between A and Z - which is why the dota and similar mobas work and the MWO knock-off doesn't. You can't try to do that style of match and then completely leave out all the gameplay elements that take place in the middle/contentious zones and have anything but what we have, a mode that doesn't work.

And I'll try to remember to check out those videos after work, I totally missed out on LL.

yes please

MWLL does "this tacticks thing" a LOT better than MWO
not to mention that mechs there just plain feel like mechs, weapons feel like weapons, and the whole game system is just plain better designed....

*sigh*

right, i think im going to play MWLL today instead... maybe i get less people to play with, but i just need the gameplay depth
