i think extraction is a mode that is fun also forces you to use teamwork also in the map street there's a gun fight every 5 seconds which makes it fun and it's a great mode but no one else plays it. :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing:

I like extraction, it's a wonderful opportunity to have an old fashioned death match.

Extraction is good, but I think a more of a Convoy Mode would be much cooler... Imagen 6 Mounted Humvee's/Saxons & 2 Black Suv's... running along the road... to an Airport or a something else.... like 3-4 Check Points, insurgents.. Rpg's IED'S would be a massive charge of fun

Man... I havent played a good match of extraction since 0.3, when we rolled through Karkand in humvees with an LB full of support gunners and AT guys providing fire support.

I think the last time I played was on street in 0.5, but there were tons of people on the server, so it was just firefight at the brit spawn. I hate that map.

I wish to see this back as well, but due to my slow computer, the rounds are usually wayyy over before I can even load up.

Naw street is pretty cool, people just try and play it with WAY too many people.
having 40+ people on a 16 player map is hardly ever a good idea....

I always join extraction maps, even if there are only a couple of people.

For a while it seemed like PF had it running pretty successfully...

Maybe there has just been a change in my schedule/playing too much .6OB but I haven't seen it up and running extraction for a while...

IMHO

IMHO extraction as it is now is a total fault...
It shud be a part of an bigger game mode called - SCENARIO.

Extraction can be fun. Basrah now though is no fun. Everyone knows the route to take or defend. Game over. Street can be fun with a small amount of players but again, there are only two routes to take.

Once people learn the maps the fun starts to leak out until you get people going to the exact spots doing the exact same thing every round.

I think you should still include extract or some form of it, becuase it still can be fun since 0.6 brings new maps etc.

Well if they can change the places that the ammo caches spawn maybe they can change the waypoints the convoy needs to pass and that would cut down on the "two route" problem.

I could imagine extract being on fun on a map like kashan, where it actually takes a fair bit of time to traverse the map.

Well, whenever I played the Basrah Xtract on PF's, as Insurgents we ambushed the Checkpoint and just waited for the SUV and blew it up...then again, as USMC, we had the A10 carpet bombing the VCP over and over to keep it clear... :roll:
