Favorite Game Mode? [Poll]

(Gi.Am) #21

Stopwatch for me, only mode that shows the full feature set of DB. Also playing on both sides of the map eliminates all map imbalance concerns and means you have to be good both on defense and offense.
And there is just something about clutchmatches when you win the second round after a terrible first round.

Also I’m not that big fan of the rigged objective spawntimers that make a attackers win almost a given.

That said execution is fine for a change of pace now and then (now and then meaning I have a mission for it ^^ ). And objective if I can’t commit a full 30 minutes or really need to increase the amount of possible case drops :wink: .

@Dracorion as I have said while csgo may have more maps execution has much better gameplay and a much better ftp model.

(BerylRdm) #23

I prefer playing Stopwatch. I like the idea of playing on both sides with the same people against the same people. This is somehow competitive even in pubs, especially on min lvl servers. Objective isn’t fair, because some maps give advantage to attackers/defenders. Stopwatch is the soul of this game, imo.

And I dislike execution. I really hate the idea of waiting till the end of the round after getting killed. This, plus more waiting between rounds, makes me feel like I’m wasting my time. Dirty Bomb is a fast-paced game after all. This mode reminds me of CS and I never liked it. I prefered Enemy Territory over it, so I prefer ET modes over CS mode.

Stopwatch is the only mode, that represents the essence and the initial idea of Dirtybomb, the successor of Enemy Territory.

  1. Several subsequent (or sometimes parallel) objectives, with complete change in battlefield from one obj to another. This is very important: battlefield constantly changes.
  2. Spawn waves. You get a chance to build up attack/defence, you have a time for a mistake and possibility to react, to change your plan. And you can catch opponent on full spawn. So- timing your push is very important
  3. Teams change sides. We do not have CTF-like mirrored maps, so every map (no matter how balanced it is) is UNbalanced. So the Team-swaping is essential for taking map bias out of the question of ‘who is better team?’.

when you combine these three you get the most bestest mode ever <3

Ranked…

(Randomdeath) #26

I totally agree, i have had so many clutch moments that i am glad other saw me do, cuz if they didn’t i don’t know if i would believe that i just did that. I am also surprised there is no ranked/comp version of execution, it takes a lot more team work in my opinion. I have seen one guy carry and entire team for stopwatch comp, but that is much harder to do in execution.

So when will we get Competitive Execution matches? @RazielWarmonic @stayfreshshoe [/quote]

To be honest, it’s not something we are looking into currently as we always intended the game’s competitive format to be 5v5 Stopwatch. It’s something we may consider in the future, though. :)[/quote]

I hope comp/ranked execution matches dont happen. Execution is pretty much CS:GO already (bomb scenario) comp/ranked matches for that would be pretty eh, and then the game would be even less original… maybe it would be find if we had 5 or more maps but we gotta live with 3 for now.

(pinny0101) #27

@Randomdeath … even less original… Hmm, I think this game is pretty original m8. I don’t think taking csgo and making it better is too bad, it’s still a super original game.

(Randomdeath) #28

Bomb Scenario (CS:GO) = (terrorist) plant the bomb, and succesfuly detonate it OR kill all enemy players. (counter terrorist) kill all enemy players or diffuse the bomb.

Execution (Dirty Bomb) = (attackers) plant the bomb, and succesfuly detonate it OR kill all enemy players. (defenders) kill all enemy players or diffuse the bomb.

Pretty much just different maps and different team names.

(pinny0101) #29

Yeah, that’s what I have been saying, execution is csgo, but it is a lot better because it has dirty bombs combat system and vastly superior ftp model @Randomdeath

(Randomdeath) #30

Except csgo has a decent playerbase

I don’t think that making Execution a comp mode would make DB unoriginal. There are plenty of games that have a plant the bomb type of game mode, so even though it is like CS:GO i don’t think it would be unoriginal. I mean heck CoD Blops 3 has a game mode very similar as well.

I think it would be very smart to make a comp of execution. i mean Stopwatch is ok but i cant play more than 2 or 3 game before getting bored of it. @Randomdeath

When is the last time Call of Duty was original? Advanced warfare, MAYBE with the whole “future” thing, but then that kept going. it was a modern shooter for awhile, and before that ww2. Dirty Bomb is original, and Execution is the least original link in the game. Im not gonna say i dont enjoy it, i like execution a lot. I just prefer Stop Watch because its original to Dirty Bomb (as far as i know) but i also like csgo because its chalenging. Dirty Bomb has had all its stuff nerfed super hard lately. I think you and @Pinny0101 are a little baised against csgo? or just pledged yourself and all your loyalty to Dirty Bomb?

Well if you play it that way, no fps game ever made is original. I mean they all have guns in one way or another, so there is never going to to be a truly original idea unless it is just way out there. and yes stopwatch is pretty original but it that is about it (along with objective.)

(pinny0101) #34

@Randomdeath yeah, I’m super biased towards csgo, and yeah, it does have a larger playerbase, but I don’t think that appealing to a larger playerbase will make this playerbase smaller?? But yeah, I uber hate csgo, and when I found execution I was super happy because csgo could be tons of fun so execution is that but actually performed good. I don’t like csgo because there is nothing to unlock, the only customization in the game is a paid rng system, and the gameplay is so boring, everyone moves at rhino speed and dies in one hit, it’s all about who shot first and not actual combat. But anyway, that’s my bias towards csgo, anyways, let’s not make this a csgo discussion. But if they were to make execution ranked, it would appeal to csgo’s massive playerbase, which would increase dirty bombs, right??

I never ever said that. I said Call of Duty isnt originl because they release the same game over and over, maybe a graphical or setting update or change here and there.

(Randomdeath) #36

Unfortunately, no. If Dirty Bomb could appeal to the CS:GO playerbase, i would play Dirty Bomb more. But CS:GO is original in its mechanics, too. just like Dirty Bomb. They are very different games, and i think the only reason SD wasnt sued over Execution IS because the combat is different. Also, the CS:GO playerbase, at lease the ones who KNOW about Dirty Bomb, think its Pay to win. They play for 5 minutes, see a high level with a cobalt and go “that card is rare and sexy, he must have bought it” they go to the store and see “loadouts” and without even checking them, they leave the gaming say8ing “P2W!!P2W!!P2W!!”

(pinny0101) #37

… Is the csgo player base made out of idiots?? I mean, its not p2w, but its pay to do anything. And its not even a free game. If csgo were to be free then its case system would be borderline acceptable, like just on the line of being an unfair game, but ok since it is only skins, but being a paid game with all customization paid, ugg, I don’t see how any csgo player could label another game as a money grab, csgo is practically the definition of it.

(xRotting) #38

My preference is team dependent. Balanced teams and all can have some good time/fun on all modes :slight_smile:

(Havik_Gaming) #39

I agree, i myself was going to get CS:GO thinking it was a free to play game do to all the Thousands if not Millions of dollars they have made from people buying cases. Then i come to find out it is 16$ dollars.

Calling DB original in its mechanics is not really true. Other FPS’s have abilities/Classes/cooldown/long TTK/etc.
