I just played over an hour in Mixed Mode and all we played was Team Vanquish, Vanquish Confirmed, and Gnome Bomb. No Turf Takeover.EDIT: We played Suburbination, too.

Mixed Mode has always had TT.I assumed BfN would be the same.I hope they add the Battle Arena and any other new modes to it by launch.

That's so weird. ALL PvP modes should be in mixed mode, except the upcoming 4v4 battle arena anyway. That's why I loved it so much in GW until it was a ghost town on PC and had to focus on TT.

@newbebop Yes, though tbh whenever I've played turf in mixed mode, it's generally a quick game that's less frustrating than in the dedicated turf lobby, because everyone just gets on with the objectives. It's often more fun!

It would be closer to the amount of time it takes to play the other modes in Mixed Mode.I gotta be honest, I LOVE Mixed Mode with no TT but your final stage (exclusively) idea would be PERFECT for Mixed Mode.I didn't mind Mixed Mode with TT aside from the fact it takes soooo long and there's two games in a row (I know the devs intended for one attack/one defend but team swappers make it so you play the same role twice almost every TT rotation). Either one round of TT or two of your idea would be great. (I'd prefer your idea with two rounds and no option to team swap).

I think that part of the reason the new TT maps are only 4 points is to address the length issue. They were up to 7 stages in GW1, all were 6 in GW2, and now they're all 4. TT has always been my favorite mode as it has objectives, access to all the consumables, and I like that if the attackers win, the map essentially changes mid-game.

@spIash_damage Was it supposed to. I didn't think that was in the description, but maybe I'm wrong.

@spIash_damage Sorry. I rarely played mixed mode in GW1 & 2.

@spIash_damageHmm. And Surburbination gone? Wasn't a huge fan of it, but interesting. Would've liked to have had TT in the rotation though as per GW2.
Adding to this as have just been in myself & first game was Suburbination, followed by Gnome Bomb.
Didn't stay longer as lobby collapsed but maybe TT is still in there, but just didn't come round? 🤞
The modes should all appear in turn though!

My bad, original post edited. Suburbination was there.
I don’t care whether TT is added but I’m hoping some of the other modes will be...

@Iron_Guard8 I'm on Xbox, Europe servers and an entirely different crowd of gamers play mixed exclusively rather than turf - there's always a full lobby going!

@spIash_damage Just little thing to add to the comments on mixed mode : like Ops, great though the maps are, the size of them might need looking at.
Played Suburbination, which can take a while anyway, on the Cheese Factory map. It's a great map that reminds me of Cactus Canyon & somehow Jewel Junction at the same time but the distances between zones combined with circuitous routes to avoid falling into rivers of hot cheese meant it took a long time. Gaining control of all 3 zones at once to speed things up was difficult & only happened a couple of times very briefly

If the Battle Arena maps are near as large as the rest of the maps, four 4-man teams would be fun, I think.
Played UT3 in some modded modes that had 4 teams.... SO fun to me.

@ToastedSarnie I think many of the meshes/map designs have the same feel as Jewel Junction and Cactus Canyon, big time.
From the looks of screenshots, Mount Steep will resemble Cactus Canyon even more...
