How about a Reverse Hydrid new mode?

You push the payload to a zone and then you have to capture it to win.

Idk if it will work or feel kinda repetitive to the normal Hybrid mode, but honestly what else could you do after Clash, Push and Flashpoint?

Imo they don’t need to make more game modes, we just need more maps for existing ones.

Yeah, I don’t think Flashpoint would bother so many people if it wasn’t always the same two maps.

Reminder that we never got Gothenburg as a new map even tho we know its 100% playable

It was being made as a 2cp map. And the mode was scrapped so we didn’t get it.

More maps yes (more so than heroes even)…but I also dont mind new game modes

No way they are just going to leave all those assets left to root, I hope it returns as a new mode but honestly its been a while now so im not really that optimistic

I am fine with new game modes, if they have enough maps. Push had 3 maps for what, 2 years? Flashpoint is still at only 2 maps. It just makes the modes feel more repetitive since there are so few maps for them.

They have talked in interviews about that map having a bad history of development. Pretty sure in the interviews after the spotlight a bit over a month ago they were asked about that map, and said they had no current plans for it.

They need to sort Clash mode and maps, then bring out more maps for Clash and Flash.

They can’t really bring out Clash maps until they figure out how to make the mode less stompy.

And for Flash they need to figure out how to design maps without 120m+ walk from spawn to point.

Even for hybrid/payload they’ve not been doing great. Paraiso suffers from the old “corridor through high ground on all sides” issue which you would think they would understand by now. Circuit is a sniper’s dream and tanks get stuck on sigma whether they like it or not.

They seem to have lost the art of designing good maps. Almost like they whole team has changed and they have lost all the knowledge about what makes good maps.

agreed…though they also are less likely to show up because there arent as many maps

I like it, just flip the whole mode around! :ok_hand: :arrows_counterclockwise:

I’m not really sure if that’s how it works. In ow1 it was weighted per game mode, not by map. So even tho 2cp only had 3 maps once the other 2 were removed, it still popped up just as much as koth, payload, and hybrid.

Maybe it changed in ow2, but I doubt it. We have 30 maps, so flashpoint would only have a 6-7% chance of popping up. I think it’s fair to say without keeping track of data, that we get flashpoint more than once every 15 games.

is that including backfill? ill check when i get on later how many of my last 100 were flash (i still dont get backfills)

If we are including backfill then yes think we would see flashpoint and like clash more often as many more people dislike them.

I haven’t backfilled in my last 50 games I am pretty sure. It’s a small sample size, but I should have had 6.5 maps of flashpoint and clash combined assuming each map has an equal chance, not game mode. I had 12. A perfect split between each mode would have been 16.67 of clash and flashpoint combined.

Ps with the update, I assume replays will be wiped.
