Voting NO because its a dumb idea and the Poll was made in a Biased fashion.

The purpose of the poll choices is to determine the number of players that would play TDM opposed to those who would not play it.

It has accomplished this purpose perfectly.

The poll results show that 62% of the players who voted want to play TDM. The other 38% prefer other modes.

Good poll is good.

Does this represent the entire player base? cant really say that, but I ll bet its not far off the mark. The results have settled to between 62-63% for most of the day. When people keep voting and the results stay relatively the same, I think thats a pretty good indication of what the whole player base prefers.

It doesn't matter to me how many posts you make about anti-trolling polls or whatever lol. But the fact remains that until there is a 'no' option w/ no bullshite conditions to go along w/ it, your poll is biased.

Biased poll is biased.

No; what I want is something creative and new that has some bearing on a potential meta, like escort missions, base defense, invasion, etc. Objectives that could, you know, theoretically exist.

Great! Now go start your own topics about those game modes.

Much like this thread, there are myriad other threads about alternate game modes.

Well it doesnt matter to me that you dont like the poll. But its in no way biased. I think you just dont like how you cannot vote no, and then give a reason why. Because there is no no, or reason why. Its simply... I dont care because I dont have to play it. If you were forced to play TDM, then you would have a reason say no. But you dont. So... have a nice day

True, but TDM should have been a mode in at day 1.

Anyways like I said before not all people who want TDM are knuckle draggers, but most knuckle draggers enjoy TDM. Thus numbers are on your side.

Ok now I get it. knuckle dragger... Hey... if it makes all us knuckle draggers happy and want to play the game, they should put it in.

It wasn't needed since we have Assault which is TDM+.

Relax, the devs are after you folks. Why else add 3rd person? You can look forward to adding anything that dumbs the game down toward the LCD gamer who the devs are aiming for.

Its not TDM. its a half assed objective based game mode.

Some modes do. Again like I said, not all the people who want TDM are knuckle dragging simpletons, but such simpletons usually want TDM. Relax, if anything helps the game attract more of the LCD we will see it. IGP has determined it has gotten all those who are here for the BT/MW and they are not enough to pay the bills. Thus we will get whatever will get more of the LCD gaming crowd that can't fathom torso twisting without 3rd person. I'm pretty sure they want simple modes like TDM so it's only a matter of time.

Actually, in MW4, there was a server mod, with a voting system, and one thing that was available to vote on was to end a match. Players waiting around on the server for their current round to end could create a vote to end a match if someone was running and hiding til the time ran out. I honestly forgot about this and just remembered it because it was so rare that it ever happened. Out of tens of thousands of matches I had played in MW4 in either pubs or league I can barely remember a vote ever being cast for this situation so few times I probably could count it on one hand. But then again, we had a pretty mature player base, and they were public league servers.

Heck, you have people running and hiding now, even though there IS a cap mechanic. Do you really think, for even one second, that some griefer (or a bunch of them, judging from the amount of "friendly fire" incidents occurring lately) wouldn't get endless delight out of jump jetting somewhere out of the way and powering down. Then your match ends in a draw, and you get pissed off, because you were denied a win that was "rightfully" yours? At least with the cap mechanic, if that last enemy mech IS hiding somewhere, you can cap the base, and still get a win. Save team deathmatch for all of the dozens of other FPS games out there online. The only caveat would be for dropship mode, where the last team with a standing mech wins.

[Praehotec8]

Right now this game mostly IS team deathmatch. Sure, once in a while someone wins by capping, but I don't see it all that often, and the option to cap, and the need to respond to opponents at your base adds a small layer of depth that would be absent in pure TDM. I'm not necessarily against it, but I don't really see that much reason to add it.

If the game started out with TDM and assault mode didnt exist... people would be saying they dont see much reason to add fake bases

I wouldnt be denied a win if I out tonned/outnumbered the one hiding. I would just have to wait for the timer, claim the win and then report player for griefing. Its really a very simple thing. People are trying to make it soud like the sky will fall and the world will end if they have to search for a mech in hiding. Its just part of that game mode. If they dont like that they can play a different mode. Right now I dont like our current modes, I dont have the option to play a mode I like to play. My only choice is to lobby for change or quit playing. Im currently lobbying for change, if change doesnt come, I will quit, its that simple. There are other games to play.

TDM matches are time limited. The team with the most mechs standing when the time runs out wins. Losers receive a death. There really is not much sense in running in that case.

I don't want this mode for myself. I find it incredibly boring. But since there are some players that want it and can't accept that assault/conquest are not TDM, I feel they should get it.

Thats actually a pretty good solution, I cant believe I didnt think of it already. Thank you sir. Some ppl will still argue though that a griefer will still run and hide and the sky will still fall..... maybe... some people will argue over any stupid little thing...
