Capture the Winter Express Challenge Feedback

Am I the only one who thinks the "Capture the Winter Express" challenge is next to impossible?? It only seems to count if you actually capture it with other teams alive..   [CM - Edited title for ...

@EA_KentHodgebot93 TBH... i dont see the problem. Its fast and fun to play.

You capture the train in the allotted time by either killing both squads or being the only squad alive.

What you need to remember is....

A) When your squad captures the train. You need to be alive and on the train for it to count

B) The first section of time the objective is all three carriages. In overtime its only the centre carriage that is capturable to force the teams closer to finish the round.

C) If no squad capture the train in time "NOBODY GET'S THE POINT"

Hope this helps you position yourselves better on the train to make the win's count for you.

That's incorrect.

For a capture to count towards the badge, a round must specifically end with a successful capture.

- killing all enemies does NOT count

- you do NOT need be the one completing the capture, nor do you need to be alive. So long as your team wins, and it was a capture, you'll get credit.

- I agree, i didn't say anything different



- killing all enemies does NOT count
- I believe it does as Mirage says "well that's one way to do it" or something (i will check tonight).

- I checked this because i had the same concern as you guys, but i seemed to get the recognition when i'm capturing the train, but didn't when i was not on the train a few times.

Ultimatly i find its a fun event.

(all of the above is from a Diamond PC player perspective)

    I love Mirage's antics so I enjoyed the winter event. I think Mirage is hilarious. I loved his new line, "Get ready for the Mirage train. Octane always says Oc-train and it sounds cool, but when I say it, it sounds like I'm someone's dad." More Mirage. He's the best. 

    I played the event enough times to get the 3 captures first level badge. It's an interesting scenario and with the right legends it's a lot easier, but someone has to be Caustic, and if you get a Wattson, you're almost there. The problem is when you get people who just don't get the concept of Capture The Flag style game play.

    One thing that I would really beg they include into the normal mode is those jump circles that instantly rocket the player up high as a jump tower. Please add those!!!
