We Need to Talk About the Lack of Game Modes | Forums

[BattlePHILd]

I know it wasn't very popular, but I love the Firestorm mode from FC3. I think this new way of incorporating the editor could seriously increase the player base, making it easier to accommodate different game types, and they can always add more over time. Really hope that happens.

Is there a option to have death match where everyone spawns in with no weapons? Then you have to run around and find anything to kill others with like Hunger games or PUBG/Fortnite style? I suppose it will get lame once a player finds the best stuff though. Be cool if ya die ya lose all weapons then new weapons spawns in a different spots. I think a 12 player battle royale could work if the map is done right. First to get 50 kills wins? It be respawn. So its not like a 1 life round then find another game.

I asked a similar questions and the response was:
"Loadouts are 100% customizable, from name, to ammo and mag amount, etc..!"

So I'm guessing the answer to your question is yes! This is going to be freaking great!

I was hoping to make matches with single clips. Have to kill and loot bodies for more ammo. Seems like that will work!

Curious on the spawning system for death match then. It be lame if only 12 spawn spots. Then people camp them spawns for easy kills. Especially if its a battle royale where ya spawn with no weapons other then bare fists. Curious if there's random spawning as well? I can see death match being more popular then regular TDM. Cause can be any number of players for DM and still be able to have decent amount of fun since its everybody versus everybody. More kills. Not like team death match ya fight over kills going full RAMBO or have to worry about equal teams. Curious if you can have death match but also plop down like 64 ai bots as well as extras? Probably not.

Not sure about AI, but you can add animals!

legacyzero -"Historically, people didn’t really play the other modes much. It’s unfortunate but true"

Not totally true at least on the original [x]or [x]360. Most played Steal the Sample aka CTF and their was a decent sized community on it for 3-4 years. I never really remember playing DM or TDM all that much. This may be different for the newer FC games but IDK I stopped playing PvP with FC2, and didn't like the asymmetrical magic vs guns in FC4 when I tried it. Asymmetrical is fine if someone wants to build a map for it but not havinga gun vs gun option was terrible imho.

TDM is literally all I play lol.

Has it been confirmed that there is only DM and TDM in multiplayer? The article I read indicated game modes "including DM and TDM" - which would indicate to me that there are going to be other modes that haven't been announced

Yeah, it's dev confirmed that those are the only modes.

My guess is they will add one new mode with each DLC.
Vietnam: Save the Hostages
Mars: Assault?
Zombies: Horde Survival

the best constructed maps in terms of design, layout and playability should in theory rise to the top.

Yeah, you will be presented with this screen after each play so you're enticed into giving a vote.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more posts like this:

I'd like a "destination" game--mode or playlist where the objective is to get to the end of a map. The objective would be to complete all obstacles/puzzles of a certain map that would basically enable you to "beat" it, and the destination would basically be the end of the map. This should be a 12 person playlist, and their definitely has to be an option to set the time to infinity, or no limit. I guess the only way to skip the map would be to vote during the game (majority of players).

This would incorporate all ESCAPE maps into a certain playlist that are fairly popular especially in the Fc2 days where I most got into it. I would play and make escape maps days on end. Just saying, there is this whole other community of people who enjoy making escape maps and quite frankly I'm surprised I don't see more posts on this or maybe I'm just missing it.

I hope their is an option for these types of maps. If not during release, I hope their is an update because that's the main reason I'd buy the game.

Escape maps can be done in "Journey Mode" as far as I can tell.

I can't view the video due to a power outage and data restriction on phone, but if it can be done on journey I have two q's:

Can it be 12 people instead of just 2?

Can you set the time limit to infinity?

It is much funner on an escape map when you have more people. And the no time limit thing is basically mandatory.

Btw the editor does sound amazing as far as I can tell and I haven't given ubi a pat on the back yet. Good job ubi, keep up the good work! (And make escape maps possible!) 😁
