This game mode is just stupid.
No one wants to lose a game because another squad got 5 gold/red care packages to themselves in the last ring.
there is NOTHING fun about the enemy having all gold backpacks/knocks and red weapons just because the RNG dropped it on their location instead of yours.
I agree, this escalation crap makes the game even easier for bad players. It removes skill even more. My freinds and I played a game where we landed and litterally did nothing all game until red drops landed. We looted them, third partied and won the game. It is incredibly stupid, you can get kitted by looting only one of the tiered suppydrops. No looking for attachments no looking for ammo, nothing. Everyone is always kitted and without fighting anyone. Every single thing that gets added to the game decreases the skill gap.
I hate the airdrop escalation, it is stupid and only exists to assist bad players. If this becomes permanent that may be the last straw for me. They need to stop reducing the skill gap.
The way they implemented it is really overkill, to many airdrops and also to much to let them turn into gold/red.
They should drop into the center and change from white to purple max. Therefore teams that are unlucky can take a risk to get to purple in the center of the map but never higher because that encourages camping the spots.
I agree. I see no good sides of having these care packages in the game. I think its just another way for bad players who avoids fight at all cost the entire game, to come to the late game (3-4 squads left) with basically equally good equipment as the squads that fought their way to get there. Wrong incentives....
If it were up to me, I would make EVERYTHING evo; armor, helmets, backpacks, magazines and attachments =) All you can find on the ground was white and you have to deal damage to level them up, like "buying" upgrades to your equipment for "damage dealt points" or something. Award the fighting risk-takers, not the safe playing looters. High risk-high reward should be the basis of any game but thats just my opinion =)
theyre hell bent on punishing us apparently xD
This is the best reply I have ever seen. And the most true one. I had lost all hope in this community, but there is someone who sees through all the BS. Thank you. You are a legend.
The game probably took a whole 5 minutes to make every single asset is ripped straight from titanfall 1 and 2 but somehow downgraded
My experience of airdrop escalation:
1. Teammate drops way to early/late and another team beats us to the loot.
2. Get 1 pumped by a mastiff/sprayed down with a spitfire.
3. Repeat.
Love this mode 🙂
