I’m a little sad, because i really enjoy execution and this could mostly kill it off. But on the other hand maybe theres not going to be so many damned kids throwing rounds to go 6-6 for mission completion

A dream come true…

Please SD, I wanna see the global stats, regarding the amount of people playing Execution next week.

They should also remove Stopwatch and Objective missions, imo they should just make it get X XP (of any kind) in Stopwatch, Objective, or Execution, since I think general missions are better.

And on top of that they should rework exec maps for obj/stopw. Then the dream would be real^^

They should rework the missions and make them more fun and make merc missions actually fun to do.

Instead of “earn 12,000 total xp with Arty in your squad” it should be “repair the EV or deal a total amount of X EV health points” (there’s probably a better way to reword this message but you get what I mean). This will make the mission possible with any merc, but you will want to be a fire support or at least a Nader on defense and an engineer on attack. But it will only be possible to complete it on an EV map obviously

And we should have things like “score X headshot kills” which will be a global mission and possible with mercs.

And instead of “earn 4,500 support xp” it can be 2 missions “heal a total amount of X health” and “revive X teammates”. The first mission will force you to play medic and the 2nd one will make it so you want to play medic so the mission is easy.

And I wouldn’t mind some merc specific missions too but idk how well new players will like it so maybe these missions can unlock once you reach level 15 or something. I don’t have any examples but it would be fun to have some missions which can only be completed using that specific merc

Is SD acknowledging that Exectution isn’t an appreciated gamemode ? :’)

(ImSploosh) #8

I actually like Execution missions, gives me a reason to play it. I would play it more often if there were more maps for it. 3 maps and quick matches doesn’t cut it.

Execution missions are the next arena game mode, a la TF2.

Soon, when modding will be out, these maps will serve the role of “Saxton Hale” or “The Hidden” server mods.

Though, it’d be nice to have KOTH version of them.

Anyone still remember when back in the day the only game mode available to new players was Execution - until they reached level 5 (or so)? :s

No, cause normal people use the server browser…

1200+ hours, and I’m still using quickjoin :slight_smile:

However there’s still “Daily play” credit bonus.

sighs Still gotta dig those “match ending soon” execution servers, for dat sweet 500 daily credits.

(TheFluffyOne) #14

Aww, but I liked execution. I guess no credits from it then and just have to play it for fun.

(XavienX) #15

Hm, feel kinda bad for SD that they realized people don’t really like Execution :confused:

(Aazhyd) #16

Expect number of players in Execution to drop drastically.

Shame. I play Objective mostly, but a game of Execution now and then is fun.

(Dawnlazy) #17

(watsyurdeal) #18

All these people who like execution probably also like pine apple on their pizza.

(Aazhyd) #19

Pineapple on pizza is blasphemy.
