Should RAAS be truly Random and AAS be turned into current RAAS?
As per title.

Hear me out, I'm not saying get rid of AAS but make it what RAAS is right now, and have the current RAAS be more truly random (aka so that you can't use squad lanes to tell where the points are gonna go) because lets be real the matches are too predictable as it is thanks to stuff like squad lanes for RAAS, and on AAS everyone just beelines to everyones 1st point anyway.

Would it fix the issue I described just now? Lol no, i'm not a games designer I don't know how to fix that, I'm just saying I would like to see more truly random games.

concept of raas is stupid because why are 50 soldiers crossing the wire to secure random objectives? how can an objective be random? you mean to tell me the militaries of world super powers are going into combat with no defined mission or goals in which objectives are identified and clearly outlined beforehand? in addition to being lore breaking, with RAAS squads beeline to set up fobs without knowing the next point anyways, so basically assets are always wasted in RAAS because its a dumb concept for a game like this because logistics and planning is merely infeasible if objectives are determined at a whim.

RAAS needs to be burned and it's entire existence removed from the collective gaming memory. It is the worst conceived and implemented gamemode in FPS. It has no business being in a 'tactical' shooter.

AAS had 1 minor flaw- teams could rush an opposition's first objective, but the reality is this isn't a flaw, it's a viable tactic with inherent risks that never guaranteed victory. It was also a well-known tactic, meaning you could defend against it or risk not defending against it.

Squad needs an 'annihilation' mode where there are only 2 objectives on the map- both are immediately outside of the mains. The rest of the map is for setting up ambushes, building firebases, expanding defenses, harassing defenses, raids, etc. 300 tickets. You either win by killing more of the enemy or by taking their one objective outside main.

As long as you've got players ghosting your FOBs on the other team, hosts abusing their privileges peeking with the admin camera and twitch players streaming without delay, redesigning the RAAS game mode isn't going to do squat.

Too bad most of you didn't get to experience the perfect class-based, objective focused, team-oriented game mode which was Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. None of the shenanigans that go on in Squad would have made any difference in that game. In ET:QW you were open to pick any role that you wanted however unless everyone on your team picked the correct roles you would never win. That said, ET:QW was also extremely well balanced which is something Squad has always lacked.
