A Faster Squad TDM gamemode with Standard Respawning
Im really enjoy Apex legends but I always felt that Battle royale's waste too much time and introduces too much RNG in combat. I love battling across huge arena's! But the varying amounts of shield upgrades unbalance engagements. you cant visually tell that someone has more shield then you without shooting at them first . so combat comes to a flip of a coin of who has more shield and a bit less about who has better aim or positioning.
A faster Squad TDM gamemode with standard respawning(not picking up tags or anything). with players respawning with armor and there previous weapons would fix this.
-armor CANNOT be upgraded or found on the map
-armor regens over time (like halo) nothing too fast but enough to get out of an engagement for 30-60 seconds and be back at max
-health acts as normal and can only be replenished with med packs or Lifeline
-players can respawn on squadmates which will have them dropping in from the sky near the selected player , or at a respawn point like we already have.( but should spawn diving out of the ship appose to falling to avoid spawn campers)
-Victory goes to the squad with the most damage dealt AND kills
-points will be accumulative between the whole squad.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know this would introduce some issues so im addressing some that immediately come to mind
-Lifeline's Ult spawning shield and armor: lifeline's ult can spawn alot of different things removing shield and armor just means weapon upgrades/scopes/health/knockdown shields will spawn more frequently.
-Players keeping weapons in respawn can unbalance combat?: I dont think so as there arnt many power weapons in the game Krabar takes skill ,tho the Mastif requires minimal skill to use but easily counter-able across mid-long range
-people camping respawn points: players being able to spawn on a squadmate would fix this and an option to dive out of ships to more so choose where you and your squad lands will also fix this.
Ultimately I think this would be a fun gamemode for people who want to cut straight to the combat and skip all the armor and shield looting and the unbalanced engagements that come with it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! The work Respawn does always impresses me , shout out to the Titanfall franchise , still the best shooter ive ever played!
