'Execution' Mode Feedback

[yakcyll]

Yes. It’s nonsense rules. If you want to put in rules like this, the gameplay benefit has to significantly outweigh that it’s a PITA turn-off to learn that you can only plant one C4 on one objective that has a lose condition when it’s disarmed when everyone is running around with C4. We all know C4 objectives from stopwatch and objective yet this C4 is not actually C4 but special rules C4. Public games are packed full of people who don’t know that only one person can interact with the objective at a time and everyone else trying is being useless. They’re wasting time and potentially losing the objective push but they’re not losing the round because of that unexplained rule. If you have a mode with multiple objectives that are apparently the same as the other modes but actually have special rules, people will bounce off and they’ll be right to do so, because, while the objectives may look familiar, there are also unexplained nonsense rules limited to only this mode. Unexplained time extensions or spawn point moves are already annoying when they appear in obj or sw.

…?
This isn’t Counter-Strike and you are both concerned about it not being Counter-Strike AND becoming Counter-Strike at the same time? I don’t get it.
Whatever’s unexplained can be explained, whatever’s unintuitive should be blamed on poor explanation or just being outright clueless. A single C4 for attackers is a concept easy enough to grasp that I don’t see where your issue comes from.

Why do you bring up Counter-Strike in reference to my post?

Because I assume most people interested in Execution will have some previous experience with Counter-Strike, be it from spectating or actually playing. If that’s the case, then what would feel weird to them is not that one person can plant the bomb, but that everyone can do it, if anything. If you clearly inform a player that only one person is holding a C4 at a given moment, then I don’t see how they can be confused about it. It’s clearly a different mode than Stopwatch too.
My previous points are misguided, I admit, but the idea holds: Just because there’s a bunch of people who don’t care about how the game works doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t apply techniques adhering to common sense to make it more fun or balanced.

Perhaps I should restate my argument more clearly.

If SD wants to put in some more special-rules versions of obj/sw objectives that aren’t what they appear, the gameplay benefit has to significantly outweigh the negative impact of having enigmatic and inconsistent rules.

[QUOTE=Glottis-3D;527164]just had an idea:

[QUOTE=spookify;527465]You are onto something here!!!

Add Spawn Waves and Place in the SW rotation.

Need to plant both Guns and win.

also replace the guns with radar stations, put them both on its own small hill.

make left entrance small with an mg-nest

invent little mines with flags and make me be able to steal uniforms

I also think the defuse/arm timers shouldn’t be shown at all, it promotes lazy play where they can just sit and wait for a timer to appear before heading in and doing the business. I know this because I did it, i’d plant the C4 then hide away and wait for the disarm bar to pop up then head on in for the kill.

good point: it also makes it more interesting as the timer is displayed on the C4, so you can ‘take a look’ and see how much time you have.

Sadly, I’m not able to give much feedback myself as there aren’t min lvl 10 execution servers :rolleyes:

hahaha, well to be honest, I joined one server; and barely had a game going, people were ragequitting all the time making teams impossible to balance. Also hard to determine how map is being played out when Im matched against similarly skilled players.

And yes, above all; min lvl10 servers are so amazingly fun compared to random pubs that I don’t play anything else.

Execution is far better than objective or stopwatch. It unleashes the full potential players!

I cannot wait for it to be released again and for there to be competitive matches on the mode too!

[Ashog]

Each time I am sad when they remove it.

I don’t get it, why do they have to remove it each time?

[ispellcorrectly]

The current map ‘overground’ attracts a lot of ‘Skyhammers’;
