Seriously, there is going to be some very good content coming from this forum. Topics that it can include are:
-How come all games end in killing and not capping
-How come all games end in capping and not killing
-How come it takes too long to get back to base on Alpine and Tourmaline

With the two basically identical game modes that exist, we finally have a forum to discuss the compelling differences between the two. Thank you Piranha Games for making the tough decision to make this forum available to the general public.

Yeah. This forum reorganization is one of the dumber moves they've made.

I think they need a sub-forum for every conceivable type of thread.

Like one for discussing the weather and another for discussing latency. another for the effects of using joysticks vs mouse.


Lets come up with more ideas on how to fracture discussion and make finding the right forum to post in harder.

We definitely need a sub-forum purely for bashing twitter. Definitely.

The question of our time:

1 cap or 5?

I, for one am glad this forum exists. The two game modes we have just offer so much strategic depth and tactical flexibility that the permutations on how to play them are mind-boggling, especially with the very large number of maps we have right now. I bet that this forum will be positively swamped with excellent content.

They keep saying they don't want to fracture the player base in game by adding such useful features as solo drop only mode and private matches. Yet they seem to be going out of their way to fracture communication/discussion between players on the forum.

Even numbers of caps? Are you mad! Three or five gawd.

I know 3 is a magic number... but we don't have 3 gameplay modes (training grounds does not count). What's wrong with PGI?

What, you mean you don't want to talk about the intricacies of the highly different game modes? I mean, one game mode has 2 bases add the other has 8 bases, that is a HUGE DIFFERENCE?

I could see the erudite developers at Piranha on the Queens High Tea discussing current events and the benefits of the over hand knot their grandmother's use to make their tea cup doilies having a brashing discussion about the merits of adding a Game Mode forum to stir up some right good show discussions and what not.

The General Forum was full of horrible chaps, discussing some minor problems in how Piranha Games codes their product. Completely uncivilized to discuss such rubbish in the general population. I am so happy that Piranha Games took the high road to hide derision of their product. I mean, if Piranha actually had forum statistics to gather on where they are failing and how to fix their faults, that would be cheating. And Piranha Games is all about fair play.

Here is a video of Piranha Games personnel in action fighting the horrible people of the General Forums discussing problems with their game:

Maybe we can use this forum to discuss ideas for new game modes. That might prove more productive then arguing over the current two games modes.

Last couple of ATDs were very clear that new game modes are in the far distant future. A future this game is unlikely to actually see.

I think the dev derped and thought any was a game mode.

I suppose you could think of it as minigame...

HOLY **** I FLIPPED A COIN WHAT A SWEET *** GAME. (dev thinking)

While this new forum is certainly not ideal (from our perspective) it is far from one of the dumber moves PGI has made. I mean, they've had some big ones...
