Since the name implies the mode to be a braindead teamdeathmatch mode, which it isn’t. It should be named something like “Demolition” or “Search and Destroy”. Every single game so far I’ve played in ended up with attack side not caring about the C4 and just playing each round like braindead tdm players waiting for the time to run out.
Please rename execution

Definition of “braindead tdm”:
12 year old kids running around trying to kill people without thinking and dying a lot and spawning and repeating that process.
Definition of “execution mode”
Carefully planning with teammates and setting up traps and knowing how to use maneuver of wall jumping in this game to get to high ground, because you only get one life per round.

It’s about the name “execution” not implying the mode has any kind of objective other than kill the other side. While the mode clearly does have an objective which is destroying bomb site A or B.
So yeah, execution isn’t completely about just “setting up traps” to wipe out the enemy team. Even though that’s not the point I created this thread to begin with, the point is people having no idea what to do while there is a clear timer for the attacking side to plant a bomb which most people just tend to ignore which most likely is because of this awkward naming of the mode.
So yes, people are just playing like braindead 12 year olds not caring about anything camping in corners in the middle of the map while the timer ticks down to get kills.

I agree, Search and Destroy would be a much more fitting name for the game mode (which is excellent btw). Any game I’ve ever played where a game mode like this didn’t involve OBJs was simply called Execution, Dirty Bomb DOES feature the objective game play so Search and Destroy fits better.

Edit: No idea why it posted two of this comment.

Aye, also agree that it is a very fun mode to play. However the name doesn’t fit the mode. If it would be a real “execution” mode they should remove the objectives (which I hope they don’t because I like demolition modes).

Changing the name of the mode won’t magically turn your team mates into some intellectual FPS-god tyrannosaurus rexes LOL
I dunno if there’s currently a pre-match explanation of the game mode, “go here, destroy this etc.”, but even if there’s none currently, there probably will be, later.

I think the name is there, because it highlights the 1 life per round nature of the game mode in contrast to the endless spawnwaves of the objective/stopwatch modes. And the best way for defenders to win this mode sofar is for the defenders to go out and execute the opposing team.
That said a rename to Sabotage or the known Search and Destroy wouldn’t be that bad either to highlight the attackers focus of planting a bomb or for familiarity sake.
@srswizard The execution maps have a similiar intro with voice over like the other maps now.

The thing is, those game mode names are already taken. I’d not be surprised to see Activision suing anyone using their game mode names…
To be honest, that’s the exact same thing between the objective mode and this execution mode. Players still do not have strong incentives for playing the objectives. I still don’t get why people don’t fill the necessary roles like support/engineer/medic when their team is lacking one of them. And you saw this even in min level 10 servers.
But I think it is probably deeper than that…
