This is going to cause a massive decrease and decline in Dirty Bomb for a while if they do this. I don’t like Execution, but there are ton of people, including ones I know that will leave, and happened to be patrons of this game. If this mode is removed, you not only say “fuck you” to a part of your population of Dirty Bomb, you also show a part of your community is worth nothing to you because you can’t leech enough cash. Which reflects even more poorly on you, when you seem to have a bad rep as it is. This in turn will cause the majority of potential players and customers to turn their nose at the game, making it incredibly hard to obtain any new players. When you have already lost a shit ton due to a decision like this, it will only kill your game, and then forever tarnish the company and make it near impossible, if not impossible to thrive in the future.The best course of action is to remove a couple of servers, as you dedicated too much to execution, but not to remove them. Or also let community run servers be a thing on top of leaving some of your own. If you want to kill the game, remove execution by decreasing your popularity as a whole. If you want to expand the game you will rethink this and leave a couple servers per region for players that are actually worth something and will also probably spend more money on your game if they have what makes them happy. Also, you can spend minimal time on execution, most people are content with how it currently is anyway, they just don’t want it cut. If worse comes to worse, we non execution lovers can band with execution lovers to place a boycott on your game until execution returns.
Execution's Cut Might KILL Dirty Bomb!
-5% of the population
-most player hates execution
-mercs arent balanced to execution
-by the time gallery was revealed execution was already meme tier
-people complained when execution gets fixes
-people demand Obj/SW maps gets fixes
-out of 43 people in my circle none of them likes execution and all of them glad it was gone
instead
-people already hyping for execution map to be converted to other game mode
you cant tarnish your repurtation by doing what the community likes
People who are playing DB for Exec aren’t playing DB. Execution is not DB and hence why the playerbase for Execution is as small as it is, cutting it won’t hurt DB’s playerbase drastically enough to warrant continuing to spend resources on maintaining servers for that shite mode.
Also “you also show a part of your community is worth nothing to you because you can’t leech enough cash.” what?
Last I checked there weren’t ways to gain money strictly off of Execution in fact it was a waste of money and resources that could be put into making SW and OBJ a lot better. Execution didn’t affect the game’s revenue in any way when it was introduced only probably just cause there was an event going there was also spike in players which wasted money on CW cases but they could have did the same with OBJ and SW.
Sidenote: Who the fuck ever played Execution religiously cause I NEVER met one person that was actually playing execution all day. In fact in Execution servers most noobies just said “CSGO is better than this” and left the match.

Yeah, the community is having major uproar about this, if you bother to poke around. Many veterans are furious and have already uninstalled over this decision. And these people will talk down the game and spread a negative view of it, thus decreasing SDs popularity not only with the players that this affected, but with potential newcomers.
If you bothered reading the comments of the FA video, they aren’t planning to convert the maps, as they weren’t built for other modes.

There are a multitude of players that play that mode religiously. For example Kvo TheKingkiller or Twish. Twish has a huge clan the religiously plays it, and there are far more. Plus, you get cash from the players. My friends that play this mode religiously have spent $100s, just to unistall over this, losing their business and potential revenue from them
Totally agree, the Execution community is small but loyal. I play in Australia and USA and we all know each other. This is a slap in the face for all the support we have shown DB. We buy trinkets and bundles etc but play EXECUTION.
We don’t diminish the game for others, we give them another option to play DB. I can’t see how doing this will increase numbers on OBJ/SW servers.
OBJ/SW modes have way more servers most are just as empty. Ratio difference of servers to Execution is huge but that’s fine we don’t need many.
Let us continue playing the mode we like…Decrease development…that’s fine, just don’t take it away.
Please Please Please!
@GatoCommodore we play execution and we play obj as well. But we prefer Execution. It doesn’t hurt to have another option to play when ur sick of obj or in a different mood. Less servers and decreased development is fine. But we have been loyal for years and to just take it away seems unappreciative for our dedication.
The maps are there, the work has been done. Server cost can’t be that much for maybe 16 - 20 servers world wide to keep a small but loyal player base happy.
I’m not going to threaten to not play…I love DB and I love spalsh damage and love Enemy Territory. However I can’t see me committing as much time as I have as the community isnt as friendly in obj or conducive to socialising in obj.

no worries, they probably will transform Execution maps into something else.
if they just dump the map it would be like throwing silver nuggets into trash can just because silver worth less than gold

They already replied to a comment on the FA video saying they weren’t, that they were just not designed for SW or OBJ

I’m sorry you haven’t seen any players play Execution religiously. Me, my friends and my whole clan plays Execution very religiously. We play this mode almost everyday. So just because you haven’t seen anyone playing it religiously, doesn’t mean there aren’t loyal players who play Execution ( Just saying ).
I’m very disappointed to see some players see us as “a bunch of players who like to complain everything that SDs do”. I’m sorry we’re defending a game mode that we very dearly love. Execution is a very special game mode to me compared to Objectives and Stopwatch. It’s where I met almost all of my friends. I have played this game for more than 2 years, I have a 2000+ hours on Dirty Bomb which I spent most of the time in Execution rather than Objectives, Stopwatch and Ranked combined. If Execution isn’t Dirty Bomb, don’t put the game mode in Dirty Bomb in the first place only to remove it later because “oh wait Execution is CSGO not Dirty Bomb lol”. I spent 300$ money on this game. I wanted to support this game. But when they gave me this in return, I really don’t think they deserve the money after all.
People have been saying “servers cost money”. I understand that but if they are willing to pay for OBJ and SW servers because people are playing it, why can’t they be willing to reduce Execution servers to at least 2 per region and pay for them because players play on Execution too? Some of us are very loyal players who have stayed with Dirty Bomb for a very long time. It could be a win win situation. Players can still play Execution and the cost for the servers lessen. No new maps for Execution? Fine. No more Execution mission? Fine. C4 Bug that has been going around for decades? Fine. Remove the whole damn game mode? Woah there.
I have been very loyal to Dirty Bomb but this update disappointed me so much to the point of me uninstalling it. I really do hope SDs consider this decision. It would mean a shit lot to all of us.
With love,
“A player who likes to complain everything that SDs do.”

C’mon, nobody’s gonna stop that decision over the feelings of the 5% who play that gamemode when empty servers COST (a lot of) MONEY.
Enough said.
The biggest issue I had with exec is how it split the already small playerbase (even a little bit) by taking the few who played it out of SW/OBJ servers.

The playerbase isn’t that small. Tons of people play SW/Obj. Of course if you’re in a low-populated region there’s gonna be a lack of players, but Execution isn’t exactly dividing entire populations. It’s there for the people who want to play it and it should stay. Taking it away won’t magically add people to the other gamemode. If anything, it may cause some people to quit. As it was reported, only 5% of people play the gamemode so it’s not as if like 20%-30% of people are playing it and this is stealing players away from Obj.
Execution needs to stay. Variety helps retain players and keep them playing when they get bored. We have two gamemodes right now- Execution and Obj/SW. Taking away Execution leaves one gamemode and that will make this game very limited. Ultimately, Execution has been a change of pace for many players and it’s refreshing to join an Execution match where everyone is more willing to just have fun and do things like melee-only.
While I dislike the removal of content, it’s not like the maps couldn’t be adjusted to fit with a new mode that better suits Dirty Bomb. My personal pick is a capture and hold game mode (similar to holding the forward spawn on Terminal).

Reducing server? LOL. Talking bout empty servers, Stopwatch and Objectives have empty servers too. It’s not like it’s only Execution.
Fully support ! Keep execution ! It is not CS ! It is what make dirty bomb special ! UP!!

I’m all for @imsploosh 's suggestion in some other discussion, where we could leave a handful of servers with execution around, but i’m not advocating to leave 90% the least played gamemode’s server around because execution “has a right to exist” .
Empty Objective/Stopwatch servers do have a right to exist because they actually are the main gamemodes of the game, they usually get populated, something that rarely (or never) happened with execution servers.

Yea I wasn’t trying to say that empty Stopwatch or Objectives servers should be removed too. That wasn’t my intention. I was trying to say that by reducing servers, the SDs could save money rather than paying for another (probably 8 or more) Execution servers that are empty. I don’t know about other region but I see at least 2 servers in Asia being full with players. The other servers are pretty much always empty.

Which Dev said server costly ?
I think Dev never said it before. But a lot of people seem to be saying that. If that’s really the case, then reducing server might be an option.
