Limited time mode, Killswitch feedback topic
The new 12 v 12 limited time mode Killswitch is live! What are your thoughts? I’m gonna jump on it and provide feedback later.
Forum Discussion
@KRY2X4B523PThis should have been made halloween themed mode with free halloween skins/map etc but yet again DICE/EA have stripped any decent talent away from the game. The lack of imagination in this game is beyond pathetic.
Ye just as expected, I quit my first round, what a massive let down.
- Mixing PVE into PVP when the TTK/TTD is what it is, just annoying if anything
- The AI is insanely bad
- Zombies make little to no scary noises
- There is so few AI to make it remotely fun
- Can completely ignore the AI
- These limited time gamemodes are just bad anyway imo, they are overly complicated for what they are.
All the hype, the trailer and this is it? Trailer was even a lie, showed part of the maps that aren't even in the gamemode?
Was expecting massive hordes of AI, but even then any mix of PVP in a gamemode like this is just a big fail.
And worst of all, we can't be zombies ourselves....
It honestly felt like playing some janky Counter strike zombie server, but those are actually good fun so dunno what this is supposed to be.

Nailed it! I was expecting the ai to at least be a nuisance to make capping/defending a challange, but it is really just 12 v 12 which is really too small.
It also brings back why I did not enjoy the maps in this game... running from point A to B in the wide open. It's just frustrating.
Edited* I was wrong, you can't earn ribbons for unlocks except by playing this lame mode. !I played a couple more rounds, and as I expected this is not for me! It might appeal to CoD players but this has NOTHING to do with Battlefiield!
12 vs 12 is too few players, the maps are too small. The AI (Geists) is a huge let down and poorly implemented. I've seen hoards of them standing still! As others said they are not scary at all.
As to the gameplay itself, the 12 players are split between those who camp the Forge (place where the Geists spawn), those who capture objectives, and those who use it as team death match, mixed with the odd sniper on the cranes on Manifest.
The map design of Redacted for this mode.....well what shall I say about that? Whomever at Dice thought it was a good idea to have both teams spawn on opposite sites of the same deployment area (the A objective in Conquest), should hand in his/her resignation tomorrow, maybe check if Activision is hiring?
To top things of, where with Redux they made you earn the rewards by collecting ribbons in any official gamemode, they went back to only ribbons earned in the event mode for this one.

whelp.
Just did two rounds (one on Hourglass and the other on Redacted), this is quite possibly the worst "event"/mode that's been added to the game. The portal Zombies "accident" near launch was better, as at least you could level up as well as your mastery...
12v12 is a bad player count for it, the AI is entirely useless, and it just feels terrible. Don't waste your time.
This may be the biggest epic fails of all fails. The game has finally gained back players and you drop this *?
The game is unplayable with ridiculous lag, mouse input lag (horizontally), bundled bullet instant deaths, and a full clip to kill anyone. Then you add the worst AI ever and you have FailSwitch, wow, speechless.
I noticed too in Killswtich that my mouse horizontal movement just stops working every now and then and I can't get anyone killed even when I hit them.
