First time playing BA map

So I played Europe BA this morning, first time I played that map, and I love it...I wish BA would have been more popular...you literally can't even get a game on NA East, like ever.

Is there anything more satisfying then wiping out a whole team by yourself?

  • I was able to play that weekly event where it's team vanquish in the BA map and it's a nice tight map without the issues of Time Park. I have played actual BA against bots which while obviously not as good, was still pretty fun.

    If we do get a new shooter, I'd love to see a mode like this being more popular, and also really like that it means people can't only play their pet characters and have to switch it up each round and of course the point in the middle being an option when the match takes awhile. BA is a great idea and one thing that BfN added that could have been amazing.

  • @GormeyI managed to get in a few games in NA East on the fist day. Since then, nothing.  And I've tried all the regions. Really frustrating because I like this event.

    @lookinin Even Europe today, I was lucky to get like 6 or so games in a row but it's super hard to start a game and Europe is very busy on PC during the day...super weird. Since it's not ranked, just start with bots or something.
  • It can even take me a while to find some matches against players on Console on this BA Weekly Event, I will find a match quite easily. however me and my brother may have to wait there for over 5 minutes before the match starts because we still have to wait for more players, and some leave. Honestly, we sometimes back out.

  • On PS4 European Servers you can find a lobby at any time of the day, really. Most of the time 2-3 people are missing and it only takes a minute to fill the lobby entirely.


    @Gormey You wouldn't want the game to start with bots. The team with the most bots will always lose, they're terrible in this mode. Problems with pathfinding, terrible ability timing, Citron never uses the shield unless no-one is around, Nightcap only moves 1 meter while using Shadow Sneek, Corn Husk Hops to areas accessible via stairs, they run off alone in general ... . The list just goes on.

    At least they are better than not having something to compensate for the missing player. I guess they can act as a distraction for a small amount of time.

  • @Gormey I love Battle Arena. 8v8 and 12v12 isn't fun for me in BFN. I can play it for 45 minutes without getting bored if I'm lucky. But I can play BA for 4 hours straight, with it's large map count of 2.

    @benn1nat0r I know they suck but not playing at all sucks too...at least with bots they can load in real players as the game starts...it's extremely hard just to get the stars challenges done because I can't get any games...hopefully my last win will be today on Europe.
  • Finally got a last game today to finish my stars...close one...getting the game not winning, we dominated ha ha.

    @Gormey That is a very good point! On pc this is a huge problem, but on consoles this system works (at least for now). Maybe they could change the max wait to 3 minutes and then only add bots to make the number of players equal. So if after 3 minutes the lobby still isn't full and there are 2 and 3 players, the team with 2 players would get a bot and the game would start.
