Bring Back Extraction

Post by Shifty33 »

Can you suggest any reason why it should? other than because you say it should.

Joined the community after this game mode was removed, so I can live with either decision.

Though the stories I've read do make it sound interesting.

I never played it even when it was around. Not very many people did to my knowledge either. But please elaborate on your opinion.

A version of Extraction will be brought back hopefully in the future. As far as a time table on that I cant say.

Are you talking about objectives within the scenario mode? Or the original evac the pilot/SUV mode?

Can you give us any more details at all, at this point?

Agreed, every new game mode of PR makes it that much better. Whether it be Scenario, Skirmish, Training, AAS, Insurgency, Counter-attack, C and C, or Extraction... The more game modes, the better. (even though a few have some flaws)

Great to hear that news. I also never experienced that mode, but just a few days ago I saw this vid:

I thought it could be nice to make such a gamemode :)

Extraction only worked if a smart person picked up the pilot kit, most of the time some idiot ended up picking it up.

i hated the personel extraction, but i loved driving convoys being in my humvee commandering my squads vehicles around, having scouts out and just going slowly and carefully to get the SUV to safety.

I remember it back from the first time it was introduced, good times.
But on some maps it could be too easy to cross if you hauled ***.

Extraction was great. But to be honest the problem was the extraction and the VIP would track around the edges of the map or into no go zones of which the insurgents couldnt go into.

I think the problem with escort (on Al Basrah especially) was that not many people would be on the server, and this would be combined with Blufors route for the escort involving going as far out into the desert out of the range of all of the insurgents spawn points, and all of the insurgents, of which there werent enough of them to pose any real threat to the SUV. It was just pretty naff. However when blufor took the more interesting route through the city it was immensely fun, running into insurgent ambushes and having the overwatch AH-6 spraying the rooftops to clear the ambush.

Perhaps if the maps had a load of no go zones for Blufor, or maybe a few prescribed routes of which they wouldnt be able to deviate from, or maybe even a whole range of custom maps, then it would be workable as it was. Im interested to see what the Devs have in store for this though :D .

extraction would be perfect for a modified ramiel with more roadblocks so that you got a bit more ambushes that are forced to happen (during black hawk down they have the same problem, and this map is based off of it anyway)you wouldn't really be able to take the route outside the city with the convoy, you would be forced through the city. would be awesome
