I am tired of seeing so much conquest.

Then, you get assault, and FINALLY, a change of pace...right??

WRONG!

Then some jackwagons decide to cap rush because "we hate this map", or, "we wanted a different mode".

I miss the days of just running skirmish. I play this game to shoot stompy robots...not to get base rushed or play conquest. Surely the population is big enough now we can bring it back without issue....right?

Not an issue for me at all.

By and large I play basically what I want each time. Rarely do I get a map/mode combo I dislike (Terra Therma skirmish, I'm looking at you).

TT conquest I hate...or...polar conquest...or...

Conquest at all to be honest.

I do not play to stand in a cap.

Then, when playing assault, cap warriors tell you to go play skirmish...except you cannot force skirmish.

I play all modes, and stopped caring once every match type is deathmatch with slight variations.

[Nauht]

Yeah I can't stand conquest and yet every time its an option I end up getting it.

I think cos you can see the votes and with this minigame everyone's trying to get their multiplier up. I watch the timer and then notice with 2 secs to go there's a huge swing to the least favourite map and game mode.

[Tarogato]

There's different gamemodes?

[Crenue]

I really miss that single game mode option too.

It just pissed me off when they removed it.

I'm over it. I'm much more content with the greatly reduced matchmaking times than having a choice of game mode.

[WrathOfDeadguy]

I do. Very much so. At least in Skirmish, the primary objective of the game mode is the one that generates the greatest rewards. Until the same can be said of Assault and Conquest, they will continue to be terrible. Both of the other game modes boil down to "Skirmish with an optional way to end the game earlier and make less XP and cbills" which is... stupid. If the rewards for accomplishing the objectives were higher, or the in-game value of the objectives more tangible, then I might be inclined to dislike them a bit less.

Since you 'know' they are all going for the base.....just wait for them there and melt them. Problem solved.

I enjoy conquest and assault for the simple fact that they sometimes break up the deathball a little and yea, you get wins/losses by cap which can feel cheap for sure. But splitting up the laser-vomit pinpoint deathball is a bit more higher ranking then the annoyance of a cap loss.

We do, but that is boring as hell to be honest...

the only reason i stopped selecting conquest when they gave you that option was because players who only picked conquest didn't want to fight and we would lose every time cause DERP.

but now that everyone has to play every mode, those derp players are well in tier5 instead of populating their own tier list of derp capzors

Conquest = I want to lose.

DOES ANYONE ELSE MISS BEING ABLE TO SELECT ONLY 1 GAME MODE TO PLAY?

Nope. I am quite enjoying my variety of game modes and shorter queue times.

[Xenon Codex]

All game modes are the same, how can you not realize this?

Only difference is some modes dictate where you first move to (conquest), or keep an eye on a progress bar during the match (assault).

My only request is we get more game modes that actually require a different strategy than "group up and meet the enemy at center map" or "cap the nearest point then group up and meet the enemy at center cap point".

Mmmmmm... no.

Conquest = I want to farm all and win = More C-bills

[Impyrium]

Every game mode is a death match because every game mode is won by killing the other team.

Unfortunately no matter the game mode, it could be escort, protect VIP, serving ice cream, it'll deteriorate to pure DM.

That's pretty much shown in every other online game since Doom. Until they make the rewards for actually completing a mission objective vastly superior than just pure kills or victory by killing the other team, it's always gonna end up as blowing up the other team.
