While this is my most anticipated game for 2017, I think several of us could agree that the gamemode list they announced is nowhere near as ambitious as what we expected. Correct me if I am wrong, but they announced only 5 multiplayer modes! 4 of those are just deathmatch variants! We have:
4v4 deathmatch
4v4 elimination deathmatch
2v2 deathmatch
1v1 deathmatch
and 4v4 dominion (or a variant of 3-plot territories)
Now these are cornerstone competitive gamemodes of course, but if the most ambitious gamemode we are going to get at launch is dominion, that is frankly disappointing. Plus, from a thematic point of view, the castle siege, like in dominion, is not won just by breaking down the front gate, it is won once you storm the keep, the king is dead or in checkmate and the defenders surrender. Surely Ubisoft Montreal already thought of these concepts. Are they this limited in what they can create besides core gamemodes?
If you have any information or thoughts about the list of gamemodes we are getting at launch, please share them!
Hello, there's already a thread concerning the disappointing selection of modes over here.
