Your least favorite gametype?
« on: March 16, 2016, 03:53:51 PM »
We've had discussions as to what we prefer to do in 8BDM, but what are the game modes that you just can't stand?
For me, I've got to say that Possession and Screw Scramble are the most frustrating. It's always that last second jump that someone gets on me that really grinds my gears.

"One more second to win i-" *BOOM*

"Got like fifty screws to du-" *BLAM*

How about you folks?

...also, please keep it civil. There's no wrong answers here.

Possession is busted in 8BDM anyways, but even then I don't think I would like it if it was fixed.

To be honest, I'd have to say Capture The Flag. I do feel like this is an issue with most CTF modes in games that aren't Team Fortress 2 though. My main gripe is when the flag gets retrieved but it doesn't count because the opponent also has the flag. It just causes needless stalling and it kills game flow. MM8BDM's CTF also doesn't feel like it has much teamwork going on half the time.

I can't bring myself to hate on Possession and Terminator too much. I've actually always really enjoyed Possession for whatever reason. Terminator also has a fun concept, but it's really not fun in practice. Wouldn't mind seeing it modified to be more enjoyable somehow.

Terminator is kind of a boring "get the item and an OP weapon and then win" gamemode to me. Possession is all sorts of fun with the right number of people, on the other hand, is very intense and a great test of your mobility and mindgames.

I tend to place more value on the ability to maneuver and evade than the ability to aim and deal damage, so Possession is enjoyable for me.

There are days where I really tire of LMS and duel, if only because I would rather be spending my time playing the game than waiting and watching.

Capture the Flag. It's a game of cat and mouse.

Playing regular free for all Deathmatch is like playing a 2 minute coin battle on Rumble Falls in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with items on

it's too stupid to be anything more than chaos

and i dont like it

Possession is stupid because movement in this game is too shallow to allow for non-frustrating chasing/running

DM is stupid because charge weapons are overpowered, skill is not rewarded properly, RNG determines how many kills you get before you die, and half the weapons are invalidated.

What about LMS with more than 10 people then?
DM can be more playable (because you respawn), but need not a lot of people to enjoy it...or maybe TDM.
Also, Duel, because you can't kill a lot of player in 1 game, there can be a lot of "run back" specially with the items (lol old mm1cut for it), and it's boring to wait to have a lot of duel done to do your duel (not gameplay related but still a boring fact).
Havent played a lot possession so i can't say but it doesnt look so fun...run & hide look very boring too.
So, possession, LMS and duel for me. :)

You know you can do other things while you wait for your turn, right?

If i go on a server, it's to play, specially, so wait a moment but no that much.
If there is only 1 duel server, everyone go there and if there is like 10 people or +, it can be really long, you know'
specially because only 1 new people can play after 1 game and with the gameplay type of duel....

Screw Scramble. That was a frustrating experience. Never again. (Unless I get paid)
