this campaign mod is not good.
you may know if you have been play another FPS ex CSGO,BF etc
Many FPS game play only popular one ~ three maps.
i think Enlisted may become like that
many campaign will be outcome
but i worry only 1 ~ 3 campaign will be survive
so want to add just 1 simple mod.
‘the mixmod’ any campaign squad in one game.
this can be destroy the Enlisted ambience.
but can save many minor campaign.
Maybe option to chose random campain in matchmaker. Sth like “join any team” but for campains.
So you can chose to join any campain with squads from that campain, so there would be no panther vs T-60 situations.
plus, it might be fun to play different maps as the same faction.
but keeping track of progress and equipment within each member squad each time on a different campaign is difficult and might lead to the confusion.
this would only work if there was only 1 progression applied for all campaigns.
not to mention, let’s say i unlocked the mg squad. i can’t use it on the other front because i don’t have them. and learning recoil control takes double the time.
Seeing the state of player base through the last 6 months, I am very sceptical of having 4 campaigns or maybe even more in the future. If Enlisted does not manage to attract a large number of players while also retaining the current ones, it’s better to call it a single player game and be done with it.
I’ve been alternating between Moscow and Normandy campaign for a while now. And I noticed that the German player base has split across campaigns while the Soviet players remained in Moscow. Although I understand this to be a preference thing, it will hurt players and certain campaigns on the long run.
Something that can be done is to open up only one campaign for a limited time(in sync with BP maybe). I know most players will disagree to it and I do too in a way, but having had the chance to play against all bots faction and also to play in an all bot faction, it is not fun at all. Especially when the game is grindy af.
We will get an idea about the player base after about 3-4 months. If one faction gets steamrolled in particular campaigns due to the lack players, then the devs should certainly rethink their decision of having separate campaigns.
Double XP for join any campaign is another option. But keeping 4 different squads in check before every game is sort of tedious and it will need complete change in tactics. And putting up with a squad that is not equipped well for double XP is not really economical. I could take a fully upgraded squad and make more than what I would from join any while playing a campaign that I prefer. There is just not enough incentive.
