Okay so all the hate for the flares.. But they can be useful..

So you can use these things to your advantage here is how.. Let's say you're in a fight and you need to revive someone or heal up. If you keep your back up to the flare, you can throw a heat shield d...

One of the things I absolutely like about Respawn is that they keep doing risky experiments. Obviously, there will be things that people hate, it's impossible to like everything. But. if it would be up to the players, this game would become stale in no time, because people don't like changes. I'm a bit disappointed in some of you forum elders, I thought you did get the picture after all these years...

@DoYaSeeMe  As you said, not everyone can like every bit of experimental content respawn release. I completely agree with that, but then it raises the question of why force said LTM's down peoples throats?

Let the figures do the talking with regards to how successful a LTM and the content it contains is.

    Playerbase splits are no good, it can make the queues awful for love/hate experimental ltms. There's also more live support needed when more modes are simultaneously available. Gameplay is the almost the same, I really don't see what is forcing me to play in a different manner. A cluster of care packages? A different shape of the ring? I would understand if these LTMs would be like Armed & Dangerous or Dummie's Day, but they're not. Besides, players voted in favor of takeovers in the few polls that I've seen, so...

      @DoYaSeeMe I never saw a difference in queue time when ltms were optional.

        @hayhor Well, I did see a difference in a few, even though I'm on one of the busiest data centers, Frankfurt. And it's not just that. Before queue times increase, SBMM gets ineffective, as the pool of players is thinned out and there are higher chances of getting high ping players in the lobby or getting into a more distant match server.

        Personally, I wouldn't mind the LTMs to be separate, but in that case I would want them to be more extreme, to the likes of Winter Express, A&D or Shadowfall. But most of these had issues towards their final days, a lot of leavers, same players in the lobby, teamers, cheaters, etc..
