Enlisted is built around squad progression, customization and monetization. Many unlocks add squad members and classes within a squad. Vehicle are balanced to fight squads (maybe not br1). People want to unlock tech tree and event squads not soldiers. It is a assault squad as much as an assault class. You unlock x division squad and add bp soldier to a squad. Look at the garbage earth shield ‘squad’. Also killing bots is fun, and bluntly enlisted cant compete without squads. It is why solo went so-long from standard menu. Sorry but dozens among thousands is just sad.
Well, no.
The reason why lone fighter died,
Was because there wasn’t a whole lot of interest and it was kinda half implemented.
back then, we didn’t had many players. Nor crossplay.
Despite having fewer lives, death tickets had almost double the amount.
And even with xp boost ( which, unironically, you still earn more by playing lone fighter ) the friendly fire was and still is, annoying, squads can cheese by spawning vehicle squads and having more troopers. And for the most part, you had bots playing and snapping on your head through bushes and what not.
The game has progress a lot. And many things changed.
But I’m not sure how many would play lone fighter today.
Unlike what you claim, the shield event was received positive.
And I do believe lone fighter can be utilized for pves. Not just against zombies either.
Because it incentivize to play more tactically ( cuz of 1 life ), improve teamwork etc. but, with the average enlisted player, that may not always be a good thing. Like, relaying on others.
Uh the earth shield event was received “positively”… sure let go with that one
bp reception =/= gameplay reception
clear distinction there
( well… i mean, the locking guns behind the bp which cannot be used in the game if not unlocked, there’s no denying that, was and is very bad. but as stated, people liked the event despite it’s semi-major issues )
I would say mix but that my opinion personally I like it
I wish to add
Forum reception =/= full player base reception, most of player don’t even bother to voice their thoughts they just play and in case purchase something, they simply enjoy what they have
Nobody wanted it so nobody played it so no need for further investments.
It was boring since you were playing on half empty maps with just 40 real players instead of up to 180 entities like in default mode.
Why would you play a lone fighter in Enlisted when you can play old BF games instead?
Lone fighter doesn’t offer anything extra, quite the opposite.
I like to play lone fighters from time to time mostly because the gameplay is less mindless and more authentic (players taking cover etc) although it quickly becomes boring because of lack of players on the map and also scummy tactics players tend to do because of it, like holding impossible angle to fight up against, camping etc.
I like slower and less mindless gameplay though a lot, I wish there was 100 lone fighter players servers to play on
I got chance to play on 100 players server back then before it was removed and yeah it was kinda laggy I admit but the overall experience was much closer to squad mode.
yeah, it was just mediocre HLL/Squad lol
And you could fill one game
No, the reason why LF didn’t work is because Darkflow thought that all they needed to do was remove the AI. They didn’t think about anything else, and the kick initiation spam is evidence of it.
And aside from making a full second game how could they fix LF
by fixing core game. i mean some 10+ year old games are better than enlisted if you want ww2 solo multiplayer experience. if enlisted didnt have bots and was LF only, i wouldnt even bother with the game.
