Very few players actually let people duel in this game, and with the ability to revive people back to full health in .0001 seconds, in game modes like elimination, ganking is just so out of place in a competitive game like this. I'm playing now and watching people run away from a 1v1 to revive their team to make it 3v1 is just pathetic and shouldn't EVER be a mechanic in a game like this..
EDIT: there should at least be a no revive game mode for elimination.
That's the point. It let peoples to choose to have their honor or just win. The story mode also play on that concept a lot.
IMO just stick with 1v1 or 2v2 and you should have a better time there. Don't force other people to play it your way. Maybe they will make an honor 4v4 mode but until then stick with 1v1 or 2v2.
I don't think you understand. It's just not a healthy mechanic for a game base on skill. Even call of duty 2nd chance mode you could only be revived twice. I keep dying in elimination because I wreck the noob I'm fighting but I try so hard to get an execute so the game doesn't go into ****** mode and I end up dying. Unlimited revived to full health that takes .1 second to pull of is just stupid and any logical person would agree.
I prefer to fight 1 v 2, end of a elimination match i killed 3 people during the 5th round. for me it is easier to fight 2 people than 1.
3v1 is a bit much, and my biggest issue in some of these game modes, is my friendly like to dice me up, breaking my combo, and also even breaking my guard which in turn gives a free hit to the enemy, what i would like to see is a friendly damage increase, which might slow these fools roll a bit that just go ham with no strategy what so ever.
id rather die to my teammate attacking me, than die to my teammate chain stunning me leading into the enemy killing me.
First, elimination is just not a fun mode in general for the gameplay elements, it needs some reworking, 100%.
Second, I literally can not get away from this BS in ever melee game I've played for the last 10 years. It started in jedi outcast when a bunch of people made up rules about how to play the game and started spouting 'honor' as some sort of alternative ruleset for people to follow. Saw it in warband (limited, luckily), saw it in chivalry, and here we are now, except the volume of tears could fill an ocean.
Listen, I've played games where there is no duel mode and you want to duel. When 10 people are in a deathmatch server trying to duel and a guy comes running in swinging like mad, they are for sure the annoying party because the guys dueling have no other place to go do it.
But this game has a 1 vs 1 mode that works just great. In fact people are usually really nice that I've ended up dueling, great. Dominion is fine too, no complaining, people play the game mode as is, strategy of overloading a cap and back capping, all seem fine.
Why then is the 2v2 and 4vs4 game mode then expected to be a duel mode as well? Is it because the map puts you directly in front of someone that it becomes the only strategy? This morning I was told to F off by 3 separate people in the AI brawl mode, the A effing I eff brawl mode, when I killed my bot and ran over to help them. Literally everyone doing the AI brawl for orders, lets end the fight so we can get back to playing people, but NOOO, I was told to F off and I 'stole' their kills. Mah god, they are like level 1 bots, do people get satisfaction from beating them?
I dont get it too, you don't think it is fun to have a 2v2 with your friend? Swap targets, cover your friend from getting attacked, they cover you, a short duel, player A breaks off to backstab but you follow up to handle it. All sorts of really interesting scenarios in a 2v2 and yet people are trying to force it to be a duel mode as well. Why? Why are people in Brawl and Elimination trying to duel? WHY ARENT YOU CLICKING ON DUEL IF YOU WANT TO DUEL????
I love dueling, but have people even begun to think about class combinations and abilities move sets that work well in pairs? Why limit yourselves? Why not learn to fight and have that gaming high moment of killing a bunch of people while outnumbered?
I don't get why people play brawl or elim and expect to get an "honorable" experience lol... If you want to duel, play duel. The other modes, people choose how they want to play. I do find it annoying though in elim when people just instantly run to go pick up powerups. You should be able to disable those, and I also have complained about how reviving someone 5 times at 100% health makes no sense. The revive health needs to decrease each time.
When I play with my friend and it is a 2v1 situation, I will usually let him 1v1 someone if he asks me to, but a lot of the time, I will stand right behind the person hes fighting just to get in their head and I might do a single dropkick on them just to put them on tilt. Its funny, and I'm not just outright ganking them like some people try to do.
Of course, I wouldn't do this in real life, but thats why this is a video game.
Most of you make decent arguments. However, if you think the revive feature is healthy in this game, you're just a flat out idiot. Near instant revive to full health, unlimited times if you don't get executed. Make it possible for ONE revive, that'd be fine... Or a longer revive time... Or a way to execute downed opponents... Enjoying this game is fine, but don't be such a fan boy that you can't see flaws. The revive system is a HUGE flaw. Boosts are the next issue. If anything they should SLOWLY spawn throughout the map, and maybe even an indicator to where they are going to spawn so you can fight over it, make it an objective to control the boosts.
