It would be cool if there was a tdm mode with actual respawns and poo poo, because really there isn't a good game like that out there. CS and cod are hitscan with small maps, arma is for ultra-nerds, and battlefield just plain sucks rear end

Bhodi posted:counterpoint: war is awesome because you actually get to practice gunplay and aiming without a lobby timeout and looting delay and no one cares if you're terrible well, when i turned my mic on to see what the team was talking about, they actually did care, and kept making fun of the kid who was doing really bad and then they kept tking him our team name was Dog_Nutz and he kept saying "i dont know about this Adolph guy on the other team, I don't think hes on the level"

This mode is way better than dropping school because you dont have to wait 3 minutes between the action, you don't get hosed by floorgod and get killed while unarmed, and there's tons of stupid packages to chase so you could potentially get some practice with the rare guns

If war is not a permanent addition in the near future I'm going to find it real, real hard to go back to hot dropping or 1-man squad spoiling. This mode, as is, is a great addition to the game; not only is it just the thing for practicing combat ( I've become a LOT more confident in what I can get done with a pistol) but I can play it in a noisy room without getting mad about missing an audio clue 20 minutes in.

war is fine, but school in particular was problematic because of pool roof: you can literally hold down pool roof as a basically unassailable fortress grenade barrages don't really work because none of the spots you can reach the roof from with grenade throws are covered well enough to be viable all deciding to just parachute to the roof doesn't really work because the spawn waves are inconsistent and you generally just fall onto the roof one by one and are easily picked off - even if you down one or two people, they'll still have people up there

War mode is good, I'd only say if circle is in an urban area loadouts should be vectors micros and shotguns with auto pistols and sawed offs.

So, I warboyed with some goons today. One goon kept going to look bodies everytime he landed without at least clearing his area first because he "had no ammo" and got killed looting more often than not. I wish I was making this up.causticBeet posted:War mode would be more fun with a bigger circle and more people. I'm willing to bet the lag would not be that fun.

Played War mode last night for a couple of hours. I'd like the circle to be a bit bigger, but not too much. Other than that it's great. I tried to loot crates while parachuting, but it didn't work.

I think they're just testing the waters for this mode, though -- I'm sure they have plenty of other stuff in mind to spice it up as they get more data and a pulse on its popularity. I'm looking forward to weirder weapon loadouts. All SMGs and shotties, or all WW2-themed, or all grandpa guns with more frequent drop loot. Or heck. Toss everything in and balance out the weaker weapons with more ammo/attaches/etc. RNG is fun.

You moron. You stupid lousy jerk. This is exactly what this game has needed since beta. Every fifteen minutes played is as much gun fire as four hours of normal play. Never let go of m1 and learn how to actually use guns.

I've never been a fan of the VSS before but now that war mode has forced me to use it a few times I'm starting to warm up to it. Oh also war mode is exactly what pubg has needed for a warmup/practice mode. It could use a bit of polish but I'm hoping they leave it in permanently.

Cicadalek posted:I like it as a no-wait all-fight mode, but I feel like there really needs to be a better way to handle respawning Nah i think it’s a pretty fresh take on the death match concept. Just like everything else in the normal game you make a calculated decision on whether you want to drop with your squad or alone in a good position or whatever. It’s at least more interesting than the game just spawning you on the ground somewhere. As an added bonus you get to see people drop so you never feel cheated by the game spawning someone behind you or in another ‘bullshit’ spot.
