Well its KOTH without deadtimes between rounds… So its okay. And it fits how OW leveldesigners work : all the map can be used and not just a corner. Control points are also tinier so more action packed.
At least we won’t have huge map related metas as we have on Nepal or Ilios maps.
The gamemode is new so its too early to say its a problem but some of my games turned into Deathmatch where no team would go on the point, they’d just shoot at each other whenever they meet.
Can confirm, all 4 of my teammates were still in the same spot after a new one unlocked and I had to keep saying group up
I think it’s really fun
I legit loathe it. I vastly preferred 2CP. I wish they would just remove it from rotation and put it as an arcade mode, because its ruining my desire to play at all. I can understand that there are those who like it, but I just wish it was an elective map rather than forced in rotation.
i have only played it in the arcade with the “only flashpoint” mode. i havnt had it in quickplay yet but i am curious to what it will be like with role queue. in open queue arcade its so chaotic but fun lol
comp might be a little more different also but it would be funny if its just the same as arcade and quickplay
Sombra easy free kill map.
no I don’t think you are, people are mostly complaining about getting lost even tho their is a big icon on their screen quiding them to where they needed to be.
I kind wish their was to.
Be it I see why they didn’t, as the maps are like 2.5 times the scale of a normal control map.
Do to their not only being 2 extra control points, but a lot of additional paths to connect all of them together.
The day people actual look at what the enemy is playing is the day people start grouping up in spawn. Or prepare for a sombra 1v1 or you know just counter pick.
Honestly, I played one round. Felt like, just like Push, that you spend more time walking around than actually fighting. That’s… not fun. I walk nearly 10 miles a day already in real life. I ain’t trying to play a walking simulator in the gaming world too.
The game mode in concept is fun but it needs some tweaks ironing out.
The staggered longer spawn timer between a point being captured and the next activating is really frustrating especially if you’re on the losing team for that point. It should be either instant or quicker so you can regroup for the next one going live and not coming in last second.
I also think some of the spawns need a bit of wiggling. I also think push needs the same either an extra spawn point on some of the larger maps.
These are just personal opinions. The actual game mode is fun!
What are you talking about?
Most points on push and flash point are about the same amount of time away from normal control point spawn to the actual fight.
Let along defenses long walk to a given hybrid map, or early payload pushes.
the only short walk is late stage payload.

If you ignore map geometry then maybe. Like If you’re drawing a straight line from your player model to the objective.
However, most players can’t fly there in a straight line. That’s a key difference between control points and hard point maps.
No most push maps have literally a straight line built through them to quickly get to a given chunk of the map.
Like if your winding around the main road the entire time sure, but the flank routes will pop you out in the main fight rather quickly. (like their built to kind of look like a $ so you can ignore most of the path and walk straight to the objective)
And if you fallow the capture point marker, and not try to go off in a random direction on flash point. (Which people have a lot, and only look for it when they get lost.)
You will find most walks rather sort, outside of the point winners to the next objective.
People dont like anything. They hated it the moment it was announced, picking apart everything about it based from a video.
They dont like the pve (fair enough)

tbh im a very synical person and even I am enjoying it.
Only thing I have fell victim to so far, is lifeweavers being trolls during these matches and throwing games by pulling team mates off the point.
i think flashpoint has a lot of potential, its not currently where it should be in terms of the staggering and long walks, but compared to push its a million times more fun
The walks are not long, look for the point marker right off the back and walk towards it. Use the spawn door closes to such, do not just walk out the main door way.
you will get their in roughly the same time you would from a Control point spawn.
I mean, I thought it was fine. I think people hate it mainly because it actually requires teamwork. It’s the first time Blizzard has added a game mode that doesn’t favor one side over the other, or is impossible to turn around once you’re losing cough Push cough
