This
More gametypes is better than less. If you want to fly your dropship, join a standard game. No vehicle matches are a great idea, unlike the idea for vehicle only matches, which doesn't even make sense from a gameplay perspective. Dropships are a joke right now anyways, no matter what gametype you play. |

So I take it that means we have to scrap all PvE game types right, since it would split people up? |

I think replacing standard Ambush with it would be stupid, but adding a new gametype could only serve to help make the game more enjoyable. Vehicle drivers are against this because they know that players with some skill will join matches where vehicles can be dropped, increasing their chances of dying. Right now, you can roll around in vehicles mostly unimpeded thanks to newberries who don't really know how to play the game. So really, this split would only serve to balance out vehicles more, instead of allowing them to roflstomp all over players who don't even know how to fire a swarm launcher  |

Infantry only players will get called carebears, but of they are having fun, that's sort of all that matters yeah? Absolutely because being unable to play a.game mode with certain weapons is SO fun
Then just....choose a different gametype?
No one would be forcing you to play that gametype. |

No, I see it as no vehicles. Smaller, close quarters indoor maps like underground bunkers or production facilities, where RDVs can't reach. Strictly infantry. You could either mix this into the normal map pool, or make its own gametype. I say have its own gametype, so dedicated pilots don't get shafted when rolling these maps. |

Anyone who wanted to blow up tanks with gear that cost 1000x less than the tanks would join the other ambush.
Anyone who wanted to lose their tank with no feasible chance of financial compensation or victory after calling it in would que non IO
And no other vehicle ever would be used anywhere after.
This thread is actually making my brain bleed. What makes you think that giving people the chance to not fight vehicles somehow means that everyone who plays normal game types become super AV monsters? You do realize that people specing AV are specing AV regardless of game type, right? You do realize that these players will be in those games no matter what, right?
You do realize that all this does is give people a chance to fight without having to waddle around in AV all match, without hurting vehicle people because ::gasp:: their game types will be the same as always?
And as always, Sov. That's the playground, anything goes there. These are GAME TYPES, things you CHOOSE to play. NOTHING is forced on you....how is it that we have to keep explaining this?
EDIT: And like it or not, this game type WILL be introduced, because we're getting a whole expansion for competitive gaming at some point. I'm sorry, but driving vehicles doesn't really fit into the "competitive, skill based" scene. |
