Love the gameplay but hate the game modes
Domination: a nice sandbox to experiment with guns but it just feels like im playing CoD and doesn't feel like it matches the overall theme of the game

Push/Frontline: They both suck, literally every single game I load into no one is playing commander/observer and its all Rifleman class lone-wolfing

Firefight: On paper its the best of the bunch, but it's not engaging at all, when I die I don't feel invested in what my team is doing, i usually just scroll through /v/ when i'm dead and wait to respawn

Coop: It's enjoyable and i see the appeal but its not why i bought the game

I don't know what could make things more fun, I don't think this game would be better if it had a defuse game type like counter-strike or just straight up team death match. does anyone feel the same way or maybe could enlighten me on why im not enjoying anything and help change my attitude? maybe this just isnt the game for me which sucks cause i really do like the way it plays but if this is all there is to it then maybe i should just uninstall :winter2019sadsnowman:

skirmish is the best, but they refuse to bring it back... only on weekly events.

firefight is the second best mode, but i find the same problem than you, i don't feel engaged at all, rounds feel short in most cases, people is constantly disconnecting, matches are usually imbalanced... and waiting for a respawn is a pain in the ass.

push, domination and frontline... no comments

i hope they add skirmish again in the permanent modes.

Maybe a well thought Team Deathmatch mode would be a honest answer. Most of the games are more like TDM either.
Edit: I don´t play commander/observer too. Because I don´t like such things in shooters.
I only grab the observer, if I see a commander and no observer is there.

I think the reason of disconnect from firefight is there's no tutorial for it so most people go in blind and have no idea what to do or how to play. Push is self explanitory but FF seems like it needs a tutorial because, more so right now due to the sale, new players come in and have no idea what they're doing. Then end up seeing defeat and have no idea what they did wrong, then leave to never play it again.

I agree with this.

Skirmish is best, then firefight. Both mode's are heavily focused on playing the obj and teamwork and reward you for it instantly, that makes it fun. I especially liked the smaller Skirmish version they did with a limited playlist recently.

Skirmish is like firefight but with more options and freedom (to flank, sneak to cash etc.) While firefight is mostly just rushing B. It's often already decided when B is taken and it's really annoying when playing with new players who don't understand this. You already know enough when you see the whole team rocking those mega backpacks.

I don't think push or frontline are bad though, they can be really fun and tense. But same problem here, where new players don't know how to get on the obj as attackers or how to use the commander/observer roles.

And domination is just plain bad, I only play it after being too frustrated from imbalanced teams in other modes, or when I'm in the mood to rack up alot of kills, or when I wanna ♥♥♥♥ around with funny loadouts.

Frontline is what I play and love it. If there’s no commander/observer, and you want one, take initiative and grab the class.

I love this game. I really wish New World Interactive would take a step into their next game in the direction of Squad and Hell Let Loose. Giant squad based battles 100 player plus with this game play and customization. Would be epic.
