Battleground Game Modes

SneaK · February 2017

So, we don't have ALL the details on the recently announced battlegrounds, which means it's time to speculate and conjure up some of our own ideas, eh.

What we know, 4v4v4, 3 modes (CTF/TDM/????), and 3 maps when launched.

Now what do you all think the _____ mode will consist of? What would you like to see?

Personally, I love some capture the flag, would also like to see some Halo'esk Oddball, and a classic Elimination type mode with ressing activated. I am not so keen on the domination type of play.

Capture the flag and team deathmatch is confirmed

Really? I didn't know that, and that's kind of a bummer. TDM is outplayed, standard though I guess.

There was 1 more but the damn woman interrupted Richard Lambert when he was about to say.

Well! If they know I wish they'd post it somewhere (kinda, kinda like coming up with ideas too though). I hope they bring some stuff and think a little outside the box in terms of small scale objectives. I think an oddball mode would be awesome.

(Picturing "Ball/Relic" carrier having major expedition buff, but having major defile and minor mangle at all times.)

Any word or hints on whether premade teams will be allowed/separated?

I was hoping the battlegrounds would be story/scenario based where you have to accomplish objectives (e.g. siege the doorway while surviving) but it looks like they're just smaller PVP arenas.

@preyfar they very well could add game modes like that in the future. who knows. i'm surprised and thankful we're getting multiple modes and maps to start.

That would be awesome. Remember that HUTTS DON'T HAVE FEET!

Control points would seem the most likely, that is a staple in battle grounds from other MMO's.

TheHyperion · February 2017

I'd like to see search and destroy.

Sheuib · February 2017

I always liked the assault maps from unreal tournament but I'm not sure how that would be implemented with 3 teams.

Soris · February 2017

I hope they have such a matchmaking system ready that if people queue as a group aka premade, it will check for other premades and match them accordingly, and match pugs vs pugs for soloers.
