Just give the option at frontline, sure I'd do 10 rounds and be done with it.
Yep, preferably with intensity setting considering how low intensity ones are snooze fests that give neither credits nor badge (and thus many combat locations in the system being useless).
That's very, very, very, very subjective.
Yes, shame on FDev for trying to cater to all kinds of skill levels.
Where is the really hard levels?
How would it be a problem if there was an intensity setting? You sure love to misinterpret.
I was obviously referring to the part where you said Low Intensity was a snooze fest, miss Interpretation.
Well they obviously are snooze fests from my (and probably the majority of EDO players) perspective – and money and badge progress on them means killing hundreds if not thousands of poor hapless lvl 1 bots. However, nowhere did I say that there should be no low intensity CZ option to choose, which to me looks like you just intended to wrestle with a strawman.
I'm from the city so I'm not familiar with that rural pastime, but I do believe we call it a strawperson nowadays.
I was hoping that the Odyssey CZs would turn out more like this rather than the current CZ implementation. Moreover, I was hoping that capturing specific locations like the CMD center, PWR center, or medbays would grant the capturing side some bonuses, such as control over the settlement's turrets, faster suit charges / deny enemy suit charges, free heals, etc., aside from simply deducting respawn tickets / life points / the heck are those things called anyway? - something more than a random glowing circle with an alphabet letter attached to it in the middle of the settlement. Something meaningful.
One way to do it would be like it’s done in war sims, you start with one base, after you get control you go to the next and so on, where you have taken control of all the bases you will finally get access the enemy HQ where the final battle is, if you win the system is yours. Until this is done the enemy can retake their bases and the will cut you off to progress further. If the battle is stalemate you can trigger a peace treaty where you keep what you got.
This is what I was hoping CZ in Odyssey was going to be like, not a subpar, lacklustre FPS from the earlys 2000's. FDev just lack some basic imagination, the suggestion forum is jam packed with great ideas, but no we get the most basic team deathmatch
. We can't even get NPC in SRVs yet .That wouldn't work with instancing though.
Untrue, most of modern e-sport FPS, except battle-royal, use traditional rules for their CZ.
How many game modes does CZ in Odyssey have?. Same question, how many does Battlefield or Overwatch have?.
Overwatch has 2 main modes, 'control points' and 'push the payload'. I don't know about Battlefield, but I didn't hear they invented any new creative rules for their CZ.
While I agree that the accusation about rules is a bit unfair one (well, I'd like Arma-styled meaningful combined arms combat also because it'd fit ED better than arena shooter ever will - but I know it will never happen). But it isn't entirely inaccurate to describe the current iteration of CZ as early 2000s shooter - it sure resembles one. It's really bare bones, the "procedural" settlements are pretty darn generic, off-settlement terrain is just background scenery and the capture mechanics most basic "stand in a coloured circle, sometimes placed in the middle of a taxi runway" instead of "hold this building" or whatever.
There are other versions of capture the flag where it's more like a war and not a tournament.
Not being unfair, just wish FDev could see the potential they have with Elite, if they just gave it abit more depth and not the basic game mode we have at the moment.
