So what do you guys think about the Ambush game mode? I personally can't stand it.

Then don't play it.

If I could avoid them from the start, I would.

Killstreaks. Orbital Strikes for getting points, not just for Squad leader.

I have nothing against the existence of ambush, it's just that I don't want to have anything to do with it.
I wouldn't mind if the devs implemented first person mining where the player has to move his six-axis controller to make his merc swing the pickaxe, but that doesn't mean I want to play it. By all means, keep ambush in, but allow people not to use it.

Battle Finder still exists.

So does the ability to quit and re-enter the Instant Battle screen until you get a Skirmish.

At the moment, they're testing the Instant Battle system, and need to get as many people using it as possible, so the current layout is built to encourage people to use it as much as possible.

Or atleast add a second default spawn point for each team at opposite map sides. Then you can give people the option for random spawn or spawn at that specific point. Then randoms people would group up better.

How would you improve ambush?
