Control and gun run aren't good

I wish tdm was the only game in that slot. Gun run is a gimmick and not great for warming up. Control is terrible, every once and a while it's fun. A majority of the games one team captures two spots and spawn camps the other team. That's not fun even when your on the winning side. At the very least you should be able to leave the game because there's no point to continue playing. Spawns should be random or something. Being spawn trapped has been a problem since domination in cod. I'm not trying to 1v9 3 different 3 stacks in coms sweating in a game mode that's just meant to be for fun and to goof around. 3 stacks trying their hardest are one of the worst problems in pubs and it's not fun in control either.

    @1unown1 Personal opinion for Control:

    1) Highlight enemy players trying to spawn camp
    2) Lower the damage or remove the ability to fight from the campers
    3) Make it to where there is only ONE control point, maybe one that randomizes around the center of the map throughout the game. (Example: on Olympus, the point could be in the center building and then switch to being on top of the waterfalls, and then switch back)
    4) Remove snipers from the mode, including the bow, G7, 30-30 (This is because people camp high points and just snipe the whole game, this isn't fun

    totally agree . "gun run" seems to me to be a totally unsuccessful mode .. control was acceptable but "tdm" is much much better and should remain permanent.

    I prefer gun run over TDM, i find gun run to be much more enjoyable as it’s got layers to gameplay, it’s not just kill die repeat. Or die repeat for some of us.

    @BigMacAttack8uyeah, for me its Gun Run, TDM, and then Control. Gun Run is fun to play and has a layers as you've mentioned, TDM is just Arenas set to "yes please", and Control often gets extreamly toxic with one side camping the other where most games ends in a lockout.

    Edited: I was playing control when I got killed by some player who was blantly cheating. I thought "whatever, we're in the lead anyways, I'd just report and keep playing", and then I selected to spawn at the B capture point. When I spawned I ran into an enemy player and tried pulling out a weapon to shoot them. The gun was locked. I tried pressing 1 and 2, (the PC keys for the first and second weapons), nothing. I couldn't even punch. I ended up running outside (we were playing on Caustic's Treatment), when suddenly I just entered a skydiving state as if I just hit a sky jump pad. After the game finished skydiving me into the ground, (took it about 2 seconds to stop), I was able to shoot and punch again. Very weird and I wondered if it bugged and thought I selected the dropship as the spawn point, because that does lock your weapons and melee.
