Why No TDM or FFA?


(Black) #1

It’s real ice breaker for people who want to learn how to use different mercenaries without annoying the crap out of their teammates but not doing the objective.

It would be fast paced and quick to learn since you constantly have to be on alert and use your mercenary.

It would be fun :smile:

“People play Objective and StopWatch like they’re TDM anyway.”

Just kidding, but not really.


(Rjsto) #3

How does playing objective actually prevent you from learning a merc? :o

The devs have already confirmed there will be no team deathmatch.
Dirty Bomb is all around objectives.

But @Malkovich is actually quite right.
Team deathmatch does exist in some sort of way, because people only rarely care about the objective in a regular 8 vs 8 pub game.

There are a lot of people for and against this. Personally I like having DM/TDM in a game as an option just to sharpen your aim. But I understand the arguments for not having it. A couple of which are the fact that it will teach some players to just play DM even while in obj/sw mode and worry about K/D and others don’t like it because it could segregate the community etc.

SD currently is focusing only on Obj, SW and execution. I’m still not a fan of Execution and do not think it fits with DB at all but I hope to be proven wrong eventually. They have commented that there will not be DM/TDM but like anything else it could change if there is enough demand.

Private matches incoming!

We already have TDM, it’s called 8v8.

You want TDM or FFA, go back to the kiddie shooters. Adults are playing here

I understand SD wants to focus objective and stuff but I just want a gamemode that let’s me practice using a merc or how to aim without pressure to accomplish something and earn exp :). Practice in simple words.

The downside to that is more players will head over to TDM and FFA, leaving objective based servers… well… you know…

There’s no pressure in casual, and if you do feel pressure there, stop it, it’s not good for you.

I think the main problem with introducing TDM is that it could potentially kill off the objective servers. People who just want to play some casual TDM and don’t really want to put in any effort to win anything would go there. Which leads to less people in OBJ/SW. Then we get to a point where it’s hard to find OBJ/SW servers and the people who like those game modes give up and just go join the TDM server so they get to play the game. It’s something that can become a problem in underpopulated games. I don’t know if that’s something that would happen, but I’m just saying it’s a possibility, and maybe that’s what the devs fear.

As for DM, that’s just not gonna work in a class based shooter. The balance issues would be ridiculous.

I see where you’re coming from though, aim training with a 20 second respawn time and 15 seconds run time to enemies is not the greatest. What I do is just play some CSGO aim training maps, DM and sometimes aim maps. Play some occasional QL too. As long as you use the same cm/360 in all games it doesn’t matter which one you practice in.


(Sussepus) #13

add a training ground where you have everything unlocked and you fight vs bots
you can try before buy, you can practice aim and you can have your “tdm” without bothering the rest of us. :trollface:
for the fun of it make it coop so you can add a friend to play 2 v 20 bots.


(Mister__Wiggles) #14

Private matches will fill the need for tdm. Get a few of your friends together and create your own game, I’ve already tested this put with friends and trust me when I say this, it was the most fun I’ve had playing Db.


(Jan S.) #15

Every mainstream multiplayer FPS is offering TDM. Dirty Bomb is objective based shooter.

Agree with almost everything here.

Execution mode is like team death match.


(RyePanda) #17

Isn’t defense mostly just killing enemies? I mean, unless they have a C4 planted, your job is basically, to kill enemies. Isn’t that what you want?


(Hadouken) #18

Yes because everyone wants to play only a couple of assault and recon classes


(Jurmabones) #19

We must be playing a different game. Most of the pubs I go into are already TDM.

Something tells me Dirty Bomb isn’t the best game for you.
