says it all in the title.... great gamemode and i would love to see it make a comback. But idk if the devs want to devote time on it if they don't think it'll work.

The following was said at the DEV chat:
'[R-DEV wrote:Speahead']I also like extraction when we still supported it. (It may come back as part of scenario)
And, more importantly:
'[R-DEV wrote:dbzao']We definitely want extraction back and yes, it will be part of the new Scenario game mode.

Awesome. I love that game mode. I dont know what is it about new game modes that people dont want to play. Like the new counter attack mode. Its pretty cool but you only see it once in a while. Where as insurgency has a dedicated server(i guess that mode had more mass appeal).

Yaaaaaay :D I've never played extraction but I so want to.

A mission besides just going to the flags to cap :) something different for a wee change. Along with it sounds awesome to be the squad trying to pull the VIP out of danger.

Can't wait :D

some of the most memorable rounds in pr that i can recall, were playing extraction on Al Basrah.. Escorting the SUV from palace to airport dodging ambush after ambush after full on frontal assault and ied's.. and a whole team working together, securing the road, intersections, bridges... oh how what a wonderful game..

hehe.. it was fun playing insurgent as well.. everyone wanted to be the one that blew the SUV sky high.. co-ordinated assaults on North VCP.. ah...

Didn't the Devs also talk about a scenario gamemode? Whats going on with that if extraction is going to be part of it. Because i've also been looking forward to scenario.

Scenario will basically allow the DEVs (and other mappers) to have a wide variety of game modes in one. They haven't made it very clear what it will include, but possibilities are apparently extraction, commander assassination, some other unmentioned things. Should be a lot of fun.

Yeah, any news on xtract or scenario modes would be great.. i really miss them both.

If something has been posted about it, can we be directed there or given a quick update, please.

that would be awesome in 0.6 i rember seeing extract maps but you could never play on them, i always wished i could dammit!

it would be cool to have scenarios too, in my clan we make our own senarios like conveys etc but itd be cool to be able to do them with the public

What exactly is the new scenario mode?

I would like to play Extraction mode. I've never played it before, as I only started playing PR since version 0.61. This Scenario mode seems to be good stuff, too.

It's not clear yet. Basically seems like the go-to spot for all the maps they don't want to make special modes for, so they pop them all into the scenario mode. So anything that's not AAS v2, Counter Attack, or Insurgency.
