If you miss one challenge, you can't get the 4 badges and they said you can't get every item. I've never seen them require you to play every day and get every challenge.
- @shtupurgnamakit I agree the way the badges require every challenge every day was a bad decision. But what do you think of the mode?

@hayhorDoesn't seem that interesting. Seems to me it's primarily a mode for 3-stacking. And I can't get used to limited ammo modes after only having played Control and Mixtape for many seasons.
I get the idea behind it, that they want more than 5 teams to remain beyond ring 2, this just doesn't feel like the way to do it.Edit: Oh, Mirage's Winter thing is definitely better imo. Hope to see it return this winter. 😌 And the auto shield-regen mode, which I can't remember the name of. Which is why Control used to be so good as that guy who spend a year on Control literally combined the two, and made additional tweaks, like making Lifeline playable and so on. So Control was the best LTM they ever did.
- @CCbathwater I'm shocked that a lifeline main doesn't love the mode. She is the best character in the mode.
As much as I dislike the mode I tried a few games yesterday playing as Conduit on the Olympus map where somehow in one of the games we made it down to the final 2 teams & lost, but the end stats revealed more as to what is wrong with the mode ;3200 damage,16 knocks/down opponents & 2 kills & I admit though the 2 random teammates on this occasion were really good players we had very little to show for it though other than a negative KR for me.Instant revives,a mode that should be renamed 'a 3rd party players paradise', bad loot layout across all maps & bad matchmaking do kind of ruin this mode tbh.Surely it would have been better for the mode to have the same old 'timed revive before eliminated' method instead of downed players languishing around until their teammates are also eliminated.For example I also encountered another match yesterday where I was downed in the storm but instead of either teammate reviving me they left me but when they survived the storm (they had to travel a fair distance) instead of engaging with the enemy they both decided to camp instead for what must have been for about 10 minutes with my downed carcass languishing in the storm with no hope of revival.You've also got other scenarios where you have random teammates who are either just non- compliant & replicate non-moving statues (because they aren't playing),teammates who randomly disconnect & teammates who frankly aren't team players & play more like they are John Rambo & go it alone with no thought in reviving teammates.In essence this isn't really a mode best equipped for the solo queuing players.
- @Redmattgame Getting kills is tough. It is definately a you need to be in the other teams face mode. Did any of your teammates get lots of kills with you getting lost of assists?
Unfortunately the scenario you mention with teammates camping is frustrating and I just leave those games. There are a lot of people not understanding that the only way you are going to get loot is to kill off the other team fully or just die, respawn and regroup. - shtupurgnamakit2 years agoSeasoned Adventurer

It's too unbalanced, unfair and needed more modifiers like a shield and ammo cap etc. Every ring should have been as deadly as on 4 or 5. You just have too many squads in a ring the size of a cheerio.

3 Strikes my * !
I get to drop max. 2 times an then it says im dead.
If you play without dying you get punished when the final rings come in bcs then you are simply dead ... why is it called 3 Strikes when you end up only having one ?!?!
also the amount of bots as mates is painful and dont get me started on the loot !
And you guys think this is the best LTM ?!?!?
Dummies Big Day, Gold Rush Duos,Shadow Fall/Royal, Deja Loot,Battle Armor,Flash Point,Ring Fury, Armor Regen,UltraZones,Living Shells,Date Night,HC Royal,Auto Banners,Live Die Live ... all way better.
The only mode worse than this was Armed and Dangerous This is the best, the definitive mode.

Okay, but just remember - you asked.
This IS just tdm. So why have the closing circle, BR game mode in the first place? Nothing about the mode encourages anyone to play the objective. It rewards frenzied and pointless gunplay (pointless in the sense that the vast majority of it does not contribute to the objective), and there is no consequence for doing anything wrong.
When I play it as I play all BR then I land away from my squad and they go down inside thirty seconds. In normal BR they're done and they leave. I hope in shame, as they should. In this horrendous mode I feel obligated to throw myself off a cliff so they can get back in. Which I do.
So we get to keep our shields (an outrageous mechanic, imo, though definitely necessary in this buggerfest. Can I say "buggerfest" on the forums? I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.) At any rate: I keep my shield, but lose everything else. So I just threw away all my hard work and precious time looting just so two scrubs with minuscule attention-spans can return to a shrinking battlefield with even less loot on it than it had at the beginning of the match. And let me tell you, it wasn't much to begin with.
This mode, from what I can see, is just an attempt to relaunch tdm without making the nightmare sbmm as obvious as it is with fewer players and a much smaller map. It rewards all of the things in this game that I dislike, and it penalizes the handful of things that I actually value.
Again, I'm delighted if other people enjoy it, and I don't say lightly that I want to see it go despite their enjoyment. Normally I wouldn't say that, but the truth is that this game cannot support viable matchmaking with this split in the player base. SBMM is normally not too great to begin with, and since this ltm launched it has been downright horrific, in both 3 strikes and trios. I used to be able to spend an evening playing, but now I can tolerate the slaughter for maybe a handful of matches before I have to switch off and watch TV or else throw my controller through a window.
It will not be missed by me.
