Horde mode unplayable in solo?

[Zaxx]

I thought that after completing the campaign in hard I should be able to play some horde mode or "exterminatus private" or whatever... well guess not. This thing doesn't seem to be playable in single player because you just get shredded instantly and I don't see a difficulty setting anywhere.

Man what a letdown, the campaign was rather short so I wanted to extend my fun this way.

Well if something is not tacked on and terrible then it usually scales to the number of players. This one is tacked on and terrible so it doesn't do that and to make matters worse you have to grind levels to unlock a loadout that doesn't suck all the balls in existence.

I tried with 3 people actually, got to the 12th or 13th wave and just kept dying so I guess it's exclusively for a full lobby of 4 players. Then how about not letting less people play, oh game designers of the past? It's a shame because the campaign is bloody fantastic.

Plus unlike most horde modes, Exterminatus has objectives thrown either during the waves or are the whole wave which certain classes aren't gonna be very well suited in doing.

Yeah well getting "friends" is not that simple for a dead game but it is what it is and I won't try getting gud at something that I don't like the base concept of. I mean this whole class system just doesn't feel suited for a horde mode, it looks like there aren't even finishing moves and it's filled with this weird garbage where the game is like "capture this point" when you just want to kill stuff. The spawns are fairly dickish too to the point where completing any of the arenas would need a fair bit of trial and error which I'm not a fan of.

Before the announcement of SM 2, I could find decent lobbies with playable ping considering that I'm from India. Now it's a whole new story. I don't think you would face any problems in matchmaking post announcement.

Once you get some perks you should be able to solo a couple of waves till you need to capture points then you need a few battle bros to help you out. Good training ;)
