Since the Containment War patch, most of the missions I get are for Execution mode, typically 2 out of the 3 constantly, it feels like I’m forced to play Execution continually to clear them, or be forced to wipe them.
2/3 of missions are for Execution mode

Same here or atleast always 1 out of 3. Still confuses me how forcing comp is removed but forcing execution is added. (if its about the gamemode just remove stopwatch and objective too and make more merc specific ones like getting 30 kills as Fragger etc)

Agreed, merc specific ones please! I’d rather play whichever gamemode I feel like, make me experiment with different mercs instead!

The worst missions is the one where it tells you to have this merc on your squad, but you don’t own that merc, nor is it in rotation.
The one I personally don’t like is the one where I have to have Aura in my squad, and it has to be support XP. I don’t want to put 2 medics in my squad, so Aura has to be my medic. My second squad member is always an engineer. The third one depends on the mission, and since it is a support mission, I tend to go for fire support. I could place Skyhammer as the third member, but I don’t like to do that either, because it means that I am using the 2 free starter mercs and spending less time with the rotational mercs.
The whole health station and ammo station thing just ain’t my style. Every time I place one, the team already ahead of me, or far away from it. It’s like my health station is a teammate repellent, and it is in a good spot where nobody is going to shoot them, and when they do run away from said health station, they get killed by the enemy.
Either way, I still use the Auras and Kiras with their stations. It is just that I gain support XP much slower than if I used Sawbonez or Skyhammer.

I was playing this mod yesterday night with Violator only to do the missions … I don’t want to play Execution …
Can we have Dome / SW servers only ? NO ! Cause you can’t rent a dedicated server …

Well it is 2x as likely than any other missions. There is a chance for execution wins and rounds played. So statistically you should see it more than anything else.
I’m not really a fan of any game mode missions, including stopwatch and objective mode, especially not execution. Nothing about that mode comes to mind when I think of Dirty Bomb. Execution is so different it may as well be an entirely different game not to mention penalizing people for not playing a drastically different game mode is just dumb.
You can try to spin it any way you want and say missions are optional, but we all know you are still penalized for not doing them. Besides, you feel negative every time you have to hit that X.

well, if we only had one mission re-roll per every set problem would be solved.

I hardly ever get any. Must be that dreaded pure RNG factor playing tricks again!
