I know some people like to play CTF and there is never anyone in the lobby. Others like to play Amped Hardpoint and at least on the PC, there is never anyone in the lobby. Also, there are too many lobbies to spread players out. I think it would be healthier for CTF and Amped Hardpoint and increase their lifespan, as well as clean up the lobby selection screen to delete the CTF lobby and delete the Amped Hardpoint lobby and replace those with a CTF/Amped Hardpoint mixtape lobby, making this the only way you could possibly play either of those modes. I don't like playing CTF, but I would be happy to play every other game of CTF, if every other game was Amped Hardpoint, and I think those who like CTF and not Amped Hardpoint would feel the same. This way we could help each other out. I think there would be 2 keys necessary to make this a success: 1) Removing the CTF and Amped Hardpoint lobbies making this mixtape the only option to play either of those. 2) Making sure it was predictable that the games would alternate every time so that you would get CTF, Amped Hardpoint, CTF, Amped Hardpoint, etc. It would not work if it was random and you ended up getting 3 CTF games in a row or 3 Amped Hardpoint games in a row. I truly believe this would be the healthiest thing for both of those modes. This will become even more critical as the user base shrinks. P.S. I believe this would have helped in TF1 as well.
Maybe they could make a daily double mode that grants extra XP or something (like happy hour) and rotate between game modes each day. At least the day CTF (or Amped) comes up the player pool may be larger to find a game. Just a thought...
Thanks Derrame! Yeah, it is a shame no one is ever in that mode, because I know some people would really like to play it.
Oh man I am CTF to the bone, love it, it's my mode - but over the last couple of months it's certainly died down. Very hard to find a match these days. Bounty, seems to be the bees knees.
Being pretty much an Attrition junkie I hardly ever play other modes. But I'm also an XP Junkie and will take a little extra of those points any way I can get em. Could also get someone to take notice of modes that are not getting much love and swap it for ... (I can only pray) some good ol Frontier Defense!!!
