Since Rumble is currently in rotation for Knockout, I gave the mode another try. My opinion on Knockout has changed, (but not for the better).
- The point system is mostly confusing.
- You can make it to sudden death if you run around collecting EVO harvesters and doing other things that gains EVO points such as scanning survey beacons. I did that in a match as a test, and we only had to fight at the end of the round before sudden death.
- There's no point in killing other players as it awards zero points outside the 5 points per 800 damage dealt towards EVO.
- [Bug] When respawning with your team, you sometimes cannot break off from the jump master
- [Bug] If you get enough points to not get knocked out moments before the round ends, it will still knock you out. I've just had this happened where I got the team enough points to stay in the match a second before the round was over, but the match still knocked out my team despite us qualifying.
Overall, this mode feels like it was meant to be a TDM version of Arenas type of mode, not a Battle Royal mode. When this LTM is over, I won't be missing Knockout. Revival was much better mode than Knockout, it should come back soon.
