Just wanted to say, I think this mode is really fun and in my opinion the best limited-time mode I've seen in Apex. The old Straight Shot was fun, and Revival mode was fun - combining the two is the best mode yet. Really great experience, I hope this mode sticks around. Kudos to the team for coming up with this one.
@Collector321The mode is fun, but when you die off early, you can respawn within a few seconds and that's a problem in fights. Imagine killing two players of a team and as you go after the 3rd, the two you've killed just respawns.
This makes it pointless to kill the 3rd player as you'll have the other two to deal with again. Fights in the early games consists of killing the same players over and over again until the respawn timer is too long for them to spawn back before the last player dies. Its fun to an extent, but it does draw out fights. In addition to this, players could also just skydive away when respawning, so they can just go do things like craft banners or allow their teammates who are around you to get killed and then respawn by their side.
I can see why people both like and dislike the mode. It feels like an LTM type of mode to me and should of been an LTM. I would also love to see a playlist that rotates through all the non-standard battle royal modes, (such as Armed & Dangerous, Dummies' Big Day, Live.Die.Live, etc.)

The problem with Revival is the pacing is bad. I don't care if you can bleed out and respawn, just not under 30 seconds. In a 5 second respawn cycle, the pace is too fast and it impacts normal strategies of targeting v retreating.
