Conquest

For me, this is the most disgusting game mode in existence, which is why I am here today to suggest an option to avoid it.

For me, seeing this game mode means I’ll quit immediately.

but the best part is that when I leave and search again it quickly finds another game.

So why did he put me in conquest if there was another immediate game?

The worst thing is that whenever there are no people around, it puts you in this damn mode. Instead of wasting time gathering 20 people for this, why not wait a few more seconds for that real game that comes after deserting?

I have made this post several times in mess room and I have gotten more comments agreeing with me than against, this mode is horrible.

Therefore, it would be great to have an option to disable this mode, even if it means waiting longer for those of us who, like me, hate this mode to death.

It would be great to delete him from the game, but I’m happy to never see him again.

Furthermore, this mode does not contribute anything, every time I enter one, half of both teams disappear while I react by leaving.

Please DF :pray:

There should be option to just ban game mode or campaigns.

I believe something similar is even planned.

There was nothing sarcastic about Adamnpee’s post. I think you’ve misconstrued his words.

I think he means an option to select which gamemodes or maps are in the server pool. So you can remove gamemodes and/or maps you don’t want to see.

Maybe, in that case I apologize.

As for the topic, it is interesting, to be honest.

But that would divide the game’s population even more, my proposal was actually to delete or be able to skip a mode that everyone hates xD

In that case, it could be just preferential and not strict.

I guess it depends on how they manage it and only those who remove campaigns or maps will expect more.

Personally I have no problems with any map or campaign, the only exception is conquest, which I hate.

I prefer to wait a little longer and even play against bots instead of playing conquest, I understand that there will be people who think the same about other maps or modes.

Another very interesting thing would be to be able to remove 1 campaign from “any army”

By the way, I apologize for the previous misunderstanding.

Well said.
I’m not really sure on banning a campaign as a whole but I get what you mean.
Banning maps would be more like it. Although lets be honest, they’ll make it premium.

I hate the mode and I’m not going to play it no matter what.

Thank you for your comment.

At the moment I fail to recall which exact mode conquest is.

I know I HATE confrontation, those games take waaaayyyy too long and are NEVER fun.

Also destruction. Some destruction games arent bad but its not really a fun mode (as far as Im aware its not popular with the general player population either).

One thing that would make it more interesting and has been mentioned by myself and others is basing destruction missions on actual WWII objectives rather than just a bunch of random radios.

For example blowing up a bridge, fuel dump, destroying planes and hangars on an airfield, or even a Guns of Navarone type mission.
A really cool map would be a V1/V2 rocket base (Im thinking of the movie Operation Crossbow).

A bridge like The Bridge at Remagen or Son bridge (seen in A Bridge Too Far) would I think be one objective with perhaps multiple places to set a fuse.

With that in mind we could also have shorter regular battles (where you capture 5 points once its captured thats it), shorten that to say 3 objectives and one of those might be a fuel dump or airfield as I mentioned previously where you have to blow it or part of it up.
We have some element of this on the Normandy ‘Airfield’ map where you shoot down barrage balloons.

Anyway to return to the original point, if mission/map voting or player preference is added that would really improve the game. We can all debate and argue which mission styles (and maps) suck so the best way is just let players choose for themselves.

I would be really interested to see what modes/maps were blacklisted by players and if any are more common than others. Like Khalif caves for example I would like to think is almost universally hated so in an instance like that DF should use the data to know to just get rid of said map (or mission type).

Conquest is my favorite game mode; but, that doesn’t mean you have to like it or play it. Hopefully, in the future we can choose which game modes we want to play—along with map selection. I think these options would reduce desertion rates substantially.

Just out of curiosity, why do you dislike conquest mode so vehemently?

It is an even smaller mode than the normal maps, they make you run from one place to another generally from the rally point of the map because: Either they do not build rally points or they are easily destroyed due to how small the map is.

People are running from one point to another like a headless chicken without defending any, there is very little action, to the point of running from one point to another without meeting anyone because they are doing the same thing on the other side.

Then we have those who barricade themselves in a church in the highest area with snipers doing absolutely nothing but shooting and hopefully killing 2.

Vehicles are usually useless, it is an infantry-only mode so APCs and others are not seen.

It’s an extremely unfair mode in which most of the time you can’t just shoulder your team and fight with your backpack since everyone is spread out.

Since everyone has a different strategy and way of playing, you see 2 guys in one place, you see 1 defending, you see 4 attacking a point, you see 2 in another point and when you look at the map, it looks like ants everywhere.

But the reason I dislike it the most is that it makes me run like an idiot from one place to another.

and to top it off it’s not even worth it even if you try to play it because they are all bots.

Most, if not all, of both teams leave, there are really few who play and the reasons vary.

I have friends who have told me that they force themselves to play it running or camping without doing anything because they don’t want to lose the 2 50% games that “any army” gives you or lose rank points or both.

But I don’t like it because it’s so poorly designed. I used to play Battlefield because it was entertaining, you’d see people wherever you went, there were planes and tanks everywhere and you didn’t have to run like an idiot because you either had to go in a vehicle or respawn in a teammate’s vehicle.

It’s all about how they make the conquest mode, the battlefield one was entertaining, here it’s boring.

For example, confrontation would be almost the same, but it is entertaining even if you have to go back and forth constantly because you are always fighting.

And there are not 40 different points, it is just one, you can make strategies reinforcing the previous point in case you have to return, that is, it has content.

I still don’t understand conquest mode when we have confrontation.

Historically speaking, conquest mode battles have been few and far between. And even then they took place in a specific context.

Confrontation battles were much more frequent. In fact, nothing could be more natural.

I’m getting conquest spam now. Always, always put me in a team full of bots against several real players.
