Please make this happen. I play this game far less now than when Exe was still around.

@stayfreshshoe, some thoughts aloud for discussion here:

Execution may not have been central to their vision of the game (which is fine), but why would it need to be in order to remain in the game? Many other games have fun and quirky deathmatch modes or customs while their primary draw is/was still the competitive and casual core. I think customs and rentable servers are definitely a step in the right direction for the longevity of this game and as I’ve suggested before, I think at the very least it’d be nice to be able to set the game mode to Execution when we’re able to rent our own servers. The revenue generated from people purchasing these servers would help with any additional costs or complications that could arise from having to test future patches for these maps/modes as well as the general SW/OBJ regulars, would it not? As for tweaking it to be presumably more along the lines of an objective-based competitive mode, I’m drawing blanks here. I don’t think anyone ever wanted it to be that. It had a close-knit community, it was leisurely and fun, those that wanted to hop around and play unconventionally could do so in this mode, it gave us a deathmatch ‘fix’ when we got burnt out of objectives and teammates, and it was the one mode where I felt we could truly showcase our loadouts and skins with the spectating and MVP prompts at the end of every round.

Make it a fun mode on the side. New taunts and animations at the end of rounds, weapon restrictions or one merc selection per death, give us custom trinkets and skins that could be earned/purchased in this game mode, more achievements for participating, a destructible environment on some maps with similar one-life rules, etc. Anything. I feel like there are so many routes y’all could go with it that would make it exciting and active. I do not believe trying to align it with the rest of DB’s gameplay and modes - especially in a ranked environment - would be the way to go with Execution.

All I want for Christmas is Execution back. B) It can be a very late Christmas present, too! No rush!

OHHHHHHHHO OHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHH (i’m not Santa u.u) Holy fuck I missed about exe in the video .
Without exe there is less fun around,at least for me. I miss the thrill when you were the only one alive and had to win during a 5-5 or 6-5.Sadly you can’t have the same feelings in objective/sw servers. I miss as well random talk with random guys,in objective server is just RUSH RUSH RUSH. Melee servers as well were fun and when someone started shooting with a gun he was insta kicked from both sides xD . Flying with Fragger in market was the best.
Since they removed exe I don’t even snipe(4 months without sniping QQ) or use random mercs.
I can use again Proxy at her full potential :stuck_out_tongue:

Would be really nice to have exe again.

Yeah I fucking hated exe but I didn’t care that it was in game. It was a joke of a gamemode but it did no harm in existing. It doesn’t need updates or anything, the people who played it just played it and left the rest of us alone.

It was the best mode in the world between ranked seasons… :’( Best time killer.

There really just needed to be less down time in execution. Titanfall 2 has live fire which is the same concept of no respawns but there is also a flag to hold instead of an objective to blowup. But the rounds last about a minute and dont have the “long” pauses in between rounds, not to mention the amount of rounds needed to win is much less than execution.

Also terminal and underground feel like strange choices for reworks. Bridge is in a far more desperate need for a rework than any other map in my opinion.

Keep the discussions going! I would be personally curious to see what updates, improvements or changes you would like to see in Exe if it was to make a return.

@Wintergreen Time is also another factor as to why Exe was removed. With Exe being in the game, for every release we did our QA team would need to spend 100’s of hours testing it. Every Merc with every ability in every map etc. By removing it we saved a ton of time, meaning we can spend time on rigorous testing.

bringing back training mode ?
which accountant thought that would work ?

(BazBling) #12

Oh please Yes, i miss my Chicken Shop on Market, so much fun times.

(TheStrangerous) #13

Make up your mind, SD.
First you execute execution, by beheading it. Now you bring it back, by ducktaping it’s head back?!

So confused… OH… it’s them weapon skins drawing CS:GO kids into your game.

(watsyurdeal) #14

How about no, and give us Headquarters :slight_smile:

(Nail) #15

I’d rather see the time and money put into a proper training map/mode before any more pandering to x-console players with 1/4 second attention spans

Battle Royale is popular ATM. Why not steal borrow game mode ideas from that genre?

Surely you’ll cash in from them gambling addicts streamers!

Yes, we certainly need a flying bus from where players can parachute down. That would stop all this nasty spawn camping.

PERSONALLY would prefer if they re-purposed the maps for KOTH or something similar.

Just the opinion of a player that doesn’t think execution worked well in DB but would like another casual/fun/warm-up mode with minimal downtime added to the game. Based on what Shoe said I doubt the replacement will please ALL exe fans but only time will tell. I hope they can come up with something worth supporting with QA and dev time that appeals to exe players and healthy percentage of stopwatch/objective fans as well.
