War Machine Kinda Sucks
Frankly, it's too hard, especially with randoms. This mode expects you to play in a very specific way. You need to rush the point, as a team, smoke, arm, then fend off the robots. That's IF you can g...

For example overriding doors. It seems few people are aware that you can limit access points to an area simply by overriding doors, as usually I'm the one who does it. In this gamemode I make it my first priority. Example; on both objectives on Exposure overiding the big hangar doors in the first sector will make your live so much easier. It will restrict access to the warehouses to only the regular doors for the bots. You can even override these doorpanels from some distance using Rao.
That's a very good tip.
I tried it and it really helps.
Thank you.
SharpGoblin It's not just a tip for this gamemode but it's applicable to the entire game. Overriding doors and barriers can really limit infantry and ground vehicle traffic, giving you one less angle to worry from. Except for enemy Rao's who can override again. And it's not just doors and barriers shutting off areas, there's also the detection gates like on Exposure B objective or Kaleidoscope C1 objective downstairs, which will sound an alarm if an enemy runs through the gate. But as said the number of people actively using the override panels is already low, the number of Rao's countering it by hacking them is even lower I guess.
It's a bit like the fortification mechanic in BFV, you are able to force enemies in certain directions allowing you to better anticipate them. With the difference that activating a panel while you run past it is much quicker than building a wall of sandbags.
I didn't know about detection gates at all so far. Got to go check this immediately.
I took some screenshots of those detection gates. First Exposure near B objective and second Kaleidoscope C1. You see first default stage and 2nd shot I’ve teken over changing the color on the gates and override panel to friendly color (purple in my case) if the enemy has overridden it will turn red.
Cool, thank you.
