A reduced delay after clone count goes to 0 would also be great.

Pros:

-Fast paced and teaches a team how to push together and work as one cohesive unit (assuming ur teaming up).
-When against unfair odds (aka two or three squads on other team and just yours on your team) its short enough to bear with it and just try to push for a few kills.
-As stated before, great for when you have SP capped to keep farming SP as fast as possible.

Cons:

-Initial spawn is stupid... In 10s of thousands of years you cant tell me they cant figure out how to spawn the whole team together?
-Monotonous game play because maps always come down to fights in the same spots.


After all is said and done this is the most balanced game type imo.

Actually we had a variation of the ambush mode that you spawn in team areas like skirmish but we received a lot of negative feedback about it and pulled it.

A big spawn bug that nobody ever talks about is when the default spawn puts you on an uplink anyway.

Can you specify how to replicate this issue?

I personally enjoy the low clone count of ambush. Makes for fast matches that don't go on forever with you getting stomped if the teams are unbalanced. Maybe add a mode that has a 80 or 100 clone count to add a little variety though.

Please don't just sack the 50 clone mode though.

Edit: stupid double post made useful!

When there are uplinks available but you don't want to spawn on them so you press triangle for the random spawn. I would say maybe 70% (?) of the time it will still put you onto an uplink.

This might not be a bug but might be related instead to where people are grouped and the random spawn appearing as though it is on an uplink. Not sure. But it does happen pretty frequently and would be a bit coincidental if what I just said was true.

Ok thanks. I have mentioned this to QA. See if we can reproduce the problem. Thank you for the details.

on that note i think that the random spawn needs to flip around

instead of trying so hard to spawn near blues

try harder to spawn not near reds

:P

it would also help the issue of getting trapped for a long time in a tiny area because that's where teammates are so random always drops you there even though there is a giant map available

Confirming that hitting default when uplinks are available sometimes makes it look like you're spawning on that uplink anyway. Whether you actually do is another thing entirely, and something that I haven't tested.

I have tested that: I've definitely hit triangle, seen the map center on an uplink, then spawned somewhere else. That seems to just be a map visual issue.

My only problem is the spawning. In one game, if I die 10 times, 4 or 5 of them is because I spawn inside the enemy team. In fact, the last 10 Ambush games I have played, my initial spawn was the same as the enemy team initial spawn.
