Hey there Mouse. You say it's not hidden, but fail to provide any other examples of solo mode being mentioned explicitly under the gameplay section. There are no other explicit mentions of solo mode.
BTW, you still alive over there?
For someone who claims PvP gets him worked up so much it threatens his very health, you sure do get worked up over forum posts remotely related to anything questioning your preferred play style.
Maybe if you stopped coddling yourself and did a little exposure therapy, you'd feel better about it.
Anyway, if they did yank solo or open tomorrow, there would be little either of us could do about it other than complain.
It isn't hidden.. and I find it interesting that you want other "examples" of solo mode being mentioned explicitly under the game play section. In fact besides otherwise being alluded multiple times to it isn't mentioned again specifically. But do you know what isn't mentioned specifically at all?
Open. Interestingly that...
I couldn't find any mention of Open at all. CQC is specifically mentioned, Solo is specifically mentioned but Open... not a wit. Yes it says "multi-player", and wings and hunting other commanders, but were they referring to Open or to Private groups? Not even in Power Play... no mention what so bloody ever. So you laugh at Solo for being mentioned, want it "yanked" yet the mode you seem to want everyone in... doesn't even rate a comment.
As for my health, if I was dead who is replying to you?
PVP doesn't get me "worked up"... since you want to be glib and "joke" about something serious, you want it laid out plainly? I have physically buried to many friends, to many others who served in the military. One of my jobs was transportation, of people and cargo. I put young men and women on a plane, assigned them seats, laughed with them, I also was Honor Guard. Do you know what it feels like to help carry the flag draped coffin off a plane. The coffin of someone that you had personally put on a plane and sent off to a conflict zone? To fold the flag of the country they served over their coffin before handing it to their loved ones... some loved ones that you knew very well. I wake up nightly covered in sweat, even when it is very cold in the room. The times I've tried to PVP I could do it maybe a day or two before the nightmares came back strong. Nightmares of those I buried, nightmares even of burying those I played games with. Nightmares of them screaming and drowning if I had played Word of Warships. Of them frantically trying to get out of burning planes if I had played War Thunder. Used to love Alien vs Predator.... those are NOT fun visions during sleep either. My father and I used to play against each other in Medal of Honor Allied Assault when it first came out. Know the horror of waking up after burying your own father that you yourself had shot? I no longer have weapons in the house because of the state I am in if I have a really severe nightmare and actions I was stopped from carrying out before I lived alone. I have my own Nightmare on Elm street and take medications to try and stop any nightmares, it doesn't stop them but it does reduce them.
So hey.. joke about coddling myself and "exposure" therapy.. my answer to you on that is to go "coddle" yourself...
And by the way I am not even remotely worked up. You haven't seen me agitated. Also as stated before I am mainly in a PG, yet I will defend the right for others to play in their modes of play from others who have decided THEIR gameplay is the preferred on and all should play it.
