i know that .3 is not out yet but i want to raise my post count

Which gameplay mode looks the most fun

I chose single objective

the thought of going in a squad and having to attack a place and destroying it really sounds exciting!

Yeah, I voted Objective, also. Xtract looks great, but this sounds more like my kinda thing...

I voted Extraction. If people consistently get convoys going with the VIP SUV, there's alot of cool possibilities for both teams that can branch off from that.

Xtract, it sounds like it offers the most new fun

i gotta go with single objective, because well, itll bring me back to my RTCW days which REALLY got me into first person shooters in the first place =)

Extraction, a moving objective that guarantees infantry/light vehicle action, and guarantees neat ambushes, roadside bombs, etc.

Of course, this is a badly worded poll, as there are a million different ways each game mode can go.

Until I try them, and see how they all turn out, I can't predict which will be my favourite. For all I know, Extraction could be a total flop!

I think a better-worded poll would be:

Which of the new game modes in 0.3 do you look forward to the most?

Extraction is also better than Objective mode, because the each game will be different. Instead of one team figuring out an assault/defense strategy and sticking with it, the possible routes the VIP will take will vary, and there could be mixes such as a Humvee going one direction as a decoy, etc. That means attackers have to adapt to the situation, and no two games will be the same.

I vote for Xtract! With so many AT rounds in the air and other heavy rounds this gonna be really interesting ;>

I am not sure which one I will like the best heh. Objective mode at night on 32p configurations looks like a lot of fun

fyi the 32p configurations appear to be the best suited to xtract and objective modes.

also we hope to add at least 2 other game modes in the future, plus some variations to these ones. this release should help us learn what works with these new game modes and make some changes based on what y'all have to say about them.

xtract!!! >.<

PS: btw, my decision was an 'objective' decision

Conquest doesn't exist in PR.

Conquest is returning (as far as I know) for variety's sake. It's better to have it, and not need/use it, than need/want it and not have it.

Definitely extraction. Why? If there is one thing in BF2 that bores me is the anarchy that breaks out. Just aimless individuals all running around doing their own thing without any cohesive structure. I like seeing massed movements of soldiers in the game. Nothing is cooler then 7 or 8 guys moving in an organized way towards an objective. The idea of a motorcade with 32 guys in their vehicles moving in unison through a landscape is fraught with exciting possibilities and outcomes.


Here's my prediction of how these will play out; lots of tension as everyone sets out worrying about how the enemy will attack and how they'll respond with everyone watching. Will you screw up in full view of 64 players? The tension will build as the motorcade moves towards its goal and the inevitable clash approaches. Then hell breaks loose and carnage everywhere. 64 guys blazing away in one spot with a furious roar, explosions everywhere.

And the commanders running a tight leash on everyone to hold it all together.

In other words pure fun.

Xtract gets my vote. It really is an interesting spin on the BF style of gameplay. Damn fun too.

I think I will enjoy all the modes (except conquest), but single objective get my vote just because in vanilla BF2 I was always the guy who made the squad named "sabatoge" or "carrier rape"

Extraction's gonna be nr 1 for me. I've always loved that convoy style...

xtract by a long way at first, but over time im not sure. Im sure xtract will still be played but not so much as it is going to be played in the first month or so.

Xtract sounds fun, but I can see the games being pretty short and with most servers playing 2 rounds per map it'll be over pretty quick. If anyone makes a 24/7 Xtract server then I might think otherwise.

I voted AAS, it's the most fun I get at the moment from BF2. The other modes are going to have to do pretty well to knock that off the top spot.

xtract could be cool if its played right.

I voted xtract, only because it's a style of play I have always loved in online games. Objective is close second.

The only thing I wish was that extraction mode actually included a ViP that had to be in the vehicle to win. Or something like that

Oh, oh, oh! An idea just hit me!!! What about multiple SUV's on the map... but only one is flagged VIP, that only the escorts know which one it is! This would give the chance for decoys kinda like some actual escort operations have. Bleh.. just my brain exploding.. that's all.

Either way, all the modes sound awsome, but xtract and objective will give a nice change up in styles and teamwork.

Cheers!
