Why the execution hate?

(SaulWolfden) #21

I’ve gotten to the point where I just join games in progress to get my daily plays, I’m tired of loading into unbalanced matches of Execution I have to suffer through. Least if I join late it’s minimal. I still prefer it to the atrocious match ups Stopwatch tends to have. Really the only mode I like in this game is Objective, it’s not too long which makes it the most tolerable when I get bad matches there.

And I always keep an eye out for “Match Ending Soon” message when finding an Execution server. Just to get dat sweet daily bonus credits and get over it ASAP :wink:

Exec is better if you want to play against your friends IMO, you’ll find them way more often than in obj/stop

I just don’t like the mode, what really got me into DB after playing it for a while was the team based objectives…is kinda thrown away in Execution.

I may give it a try someday, have a friend who really likes it…I just haven’t even tried it yet.

I enjoyed the few games i played in execution because it forced me to have to change my play style in order to last as long as possible due to the one life thing. The change was refreshing.

Its like marmite for me, Im a cs fan so the game mode is like home to me, but I cant force myself to play it I have to be in the mood for it.

I think many people hate it simply due to it having a much different pace to Obj/SW, plus the waiting…the endless waiting.

(Dysfnal) #27

You can be in the mood for Marmite? Isn’t it like meat flavored salt?

(SiegeFace) #28

I’m a very meat flavored salt based being.

Don’t like too wait and I can’t stand watching other people playing

I feel sorry for the map designers, who sacrificed liters of sweat (not using imperial units, too bad ;P), when making these execution maps.

Seriously, make a control point version of these maps!

Oh, but you don’t wanna copy game modes from other games. Uh… yes you did, execution is a Counter Strike wanna-be. So why not control points?

Mainly because of insta-killing skill spam is extremely worse than objective.

Killed once then it’s already done without medics to revive, and there is this 17sec pineapple coming every single start of the game.

Never was a good mode to DB.

It’s just not the same as Stopwatch/Objective. In those modes, you get to keep playing after you die, which boosts that feeling of ‘fastpacedness’ in DB. Execution does the opposite. I seriously haven’t played Execution in months. Never played Gallery either. I’m simply not interested in the mode. Stopwatch is where it’s at IMO

I definitely enjoy the change of pace in execution, once in a while.

The mode punishes silly plays, and so players tend to play a bit more tactically, and try harder to work as a team, rather than bumrush proxy the obj every single spawn.

I love execution
Because the mission of 1k coin for only 24 round of execution

I LOVE execution!!! I play it 99% of the time!

IMO Dirty Bomb is perfect for this game mode!!

The only thing I hate about execution is the constant spamming of “I hate this game mode” or “Thank god my mission is over”.

If you don’t like it don’t play it!! Simplez!!

Execution takes skill, planning and some luck! If you do bad then you get a chance to redeem yourself in 2 mins or less!!

Doesn’t seem to have the spawn killing wankers!

Seems to have more serious players interested in objectives rather than improving their KDR.

Long Live Execution mode!!

I don’t play DB for the style of game offered in Execution. I have a history of playing quite a few of those games and if I wanted that style I would go play those games. I play DB for objective based gameplay and stopwatch in general. I’m OK that Execution exists but I am not too happy that it requires it’s own maps that take away from map dev time that could have went towards Stopwatch maps. That’s why I dislike the mode and do not play it.

I would have loved to have seen a CTF mode or Domination mode instead of Execution simply because current maps could be easily converted to suit those game modes and the modes themselves fit more with the class system in DB than Execution. And it wouldn’t have impacted map dev time a whole lot for Stopwatch.

It’s nice and all, however it’s like 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES of playing that mode…

I still have traumatic memories of execution having daily missions of 20 rounds at minimum and 30 rounds at maximum…

20 rounds should be the maximum, with 10 at minimum :wink:

(SnakekillerX) #39

I’ve already really loved the 1 life per round team elimination game modes.
It makes you think a little more before just rushing in like a lunatic and getting yourself killed… not that I don’t still do that from time to time.

If people are sitting around waiting for the next round more than actually playing… then you are doing it wrong. Work with your team better. If you aren’t good at assault, then sit back and support, etc.

I’d say the biggest issue with the game mode isn’t a problem with the game, but with the players themselves. So many times I’ll be playing on defense, just to noticed that my ENTIRE team tried to flank, so no one met them head on… enemy team plants the bomb, and now we become the attackers while they have the bomb area defended against us.

Execution is fine, bad players are bad.

I just went 36-8.
Execution is my favorite mode by far. Been a die-hard SnD player. Sad thing is that it’s very difficult to rank up. Wish they would buff exp in execution mode.

Some people don’t like playing objective/stopwatch.
