…because it has a link to reality - tenouous to be sure - but recognizable and relevant.
King Tigers in Stalingrad, T-26’s in Berlin and M-26’s in Burma are just fantasy, and I am looking for a WW2 game - not a fantasy game using WW2 elements.

I just found Market Garden to be repetitive. Sure, the reduced grind was a nice addition (I hope that stays), but I honestly can’t say I’ll miss the event once it’s gone.

sounds like we need a historical game mode.

they should at least have made it random which of the 3 possible bridges are the 2 objectives (they would only have needed to increase the playzone a tiny bit to include the area to the other side of the 3rd bridge); that way players would need to adjust their tactics a bit and it would not be that repetitive…
Besides that capturing both points should definitely not end the game immediately but there should be the need to hold the points for a while (it is annoying if you have 3 minute games were nobody is able to make any points needed to grind the event).
Otherwise I do agree it is a step in the right direction, just could use some refinement.

I would enjoy more historical gamemodes but market garden is exception. This event is really poorly excecuted and unenjoyable to play. The bridges are terrible objectives, assault is unbalanced gamemode, matches end too quickly and weapon balance is terrible. I wish it was just normal invasion with historical presets

The idea is great.
The implementation is mediocre.
I would prefer normal invasion matches next time but without insane prototypes overload.
For example, actual Battle of Berlin but without AS, AF, RD, LAD, Gorov and SU 9 1946:

It’s not historically accurate because there are Flakpanzer I’s there.
It has small inaccuracies like johnson lmg, sniper garand and fnab 43 but overall very immersive loadouts. Huge improvement compared to manchuria event

Yeah, I was confused by the fact that Germans had the FAB-43

Speaking of which, I was looking for a fellow forum dwellers during the event - maybe next time.
I actually liked the mode. It would’ve been nice if we had another map like Tunisia included.
I mainly just stay on the roof the whole game. I build rally and ammo crate and started sniping the
flying pinatas dropping down on the point. I only came down if I was killed or I heard enemy rally near
by and the devs actually provided mines - I couldn’t believe it.
As far as playing on the allies side. It was the worst. It’s not fun being sniped out of the sky from
a player below on roof with infinite ammo. Why they give us busted paratrooper loadout?
You know how diffcult it is to build rally with any paratrooper squad in this game?!
It would’ve be nice if the add engineer to all crate options besides mortar…
PvE! PvE! PvE!
Yeah, because you walk away with less score from each match. LOL

does the event even give score for winning?
I like the concept, but incentivizing players to fk around isint immersive.
Theyre close, better than last few events for sure

Nope. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. Unless you care about your stats.

No - you get nothing for winning unless you have a task to win matches.
The design is a very long way from being “good” - but it does at least relate to WW2!!

I agree, the 360 battlefield is a cool idea…it needs to be a bit bigger though as the spammed HE gets annoying.

Yeah, the last few events I could careless.
I really do hope they add the mode and more maps. It’s much better then conquest and confrontation.
I found the mode more enjoyable then the much larger size regular maps. Time spent ingame not too
long either.
I don´t care about absolute accurate historical deployment. As long as it is from the same time period I am fine with it.
The event is very repetitive and boring. And the two small bridges are ridiculous for a large scale operation like Market Garden.
I have stopped playing the event. Besides there is massive lag in the game since the update.
