I will go first. I was skeptical I would like this but I enjoyed it. I played Maggie and usually went with a PK Sentinel loadout. Yes, I was that person who either plugged enemies from range and then pushed or just simply ran at people. Hitting headshots with the sentinel and getting instant downs is quite satisfying as is two tapping people with a PK.

I also liked that the ring destroyed people who choose to keep fighting even though the ring was clearly coming. It really made you think.

The only negatives I have so far- It is a bit sniperish, for good reason. And I hate not knowing how much ammo I have without opening my bag. I was expecting to see more wingman abusers but did not see that many.

I plan to play this mode tomorrow morning. I watched my tenant across the hall playing on his PS4. At my request, he dropped solo and hid for the first ring. He chose Octane, but after watching this, Ash would be able to see death boxes and have a better idea how many players are remaining. The lack of any information on the HUD is a very interesting idea. This made him very paranoid while playing.

On the topic about the ring. It moves too slow in my opinion. They have 5 minutes to get into the first ring. If it was 2x faster, they would regret fighting outside the ring for long. While he didn't score in this mode, he did survive to #5. This mode doesn't count as a BR on the dailies.

I will post again after I play it first hand tomorrow.
