2 vs. 2 Team Deathmatch
Grab a partner for this small- to medium-size map mow-down. You’ve got 15 minutes to rack up 25 kills, or more than the other team, to prove your small-team superiority. I'm going to recommend now that you're going to want pick a reliable teammate you want to play with over the weekend...
This thread will be unlocked for comments, thoughts, feedback, rage, hate-mail and anything else when the weekend starts.
It's about ten minutes to 1p.m. here and the lab and double cash should be coming up soon. Got home early today and have the next 3 days to rack up the monies i should have earned last double cash. Looking forward to giving the new playlists a go to!
OMG it's awesome! Played a few matches just now. As a whole I would play this all the time as my fav playlist if it was permanent. I normally only play in a 2 person party so this is perfect. Of course 2v2v2v2 would be very fun too.
Pros
-Fun
-New
-Tactical, unless its a lot of power weapon hoarding
-Flanking has never felt so good
-Even playing alone if you are used to carrying teams but sometimes still losing, you can win almost ever time here. (not to sound snobish, i suck now, thanks to red dead and its completely different controls
)
-Very competitive
-Evasion is your best friend
-the lab got me to stop playing red dead and come back to this
Cons
-Launch Man and Rocket Man should be disabled for this mode. Its ridiculous how much of a commanding lead you can get once you get a hammer and own up with it.
-Trash Talking like you never heard before.
-Very competitive, yes it can be a con too. It can get too competitive. Which brings me too....
-Muchos camping! People i've played seem to have patience of a saint. I mean if saints wait in crevasses to kill people...
-Isn't permanent yet ![]()
-Only playable on small maps, but that keeps "finding people" off the con list.
-HOLY QUITTERS. Never seen so many rage quits. It's almost like the penalty means nothing to these people. Many disable quitting from the lab. I mean its only to 25. You should make quitting only possible by turning off the ps3. I know if I wanted to quit that would stop me, and if you have to leave then turning off your ps3 isn't gonna be a problem for you to do soooo....yeah
-Seems like it is only fun for good players. I can see how just getting owned and not being able to get many kills by shooting people in the back could be sucky...this mode makes you rely on being able to win shootouts. If you can't then it doesn't make the mode sucky.
Slight idea, I think its decent but at the same time just kinda dumb..but for U3 you could have this mode, but only for this mode have a small radar that you only show up on when you shoot. That way you could play it on bigger maps. Or maybe not a radar but your name shows up through the wall in a close area, similar to SA. IDK just throwing crazy ideas out there.
EDIT: Another idea because camping is rampant in 2v2 mode. You could make it so if someone stays in one area for 30 seconds or so they're name will show up through the walls like SA. I think that would stop many campers, it would also make it so you could tactically use it to bring someone close to you and have your teammate flank. Would make it very fun
Maybe in U3 have another vote thing to decide what kill count you go to. Say vote between 15, 25, 35. Sometimes I wish a game went longer, sometimes wish they went faster (lots of camping people)
I'll be editing this post more as I play. Pros and Cons list form is copyrighted by me for this thread, everyone else must use Wall-o-text form ![]()
it didnt start yet for me, whats happening?
EDIT*** never mind, just had to reload the multiplayer
I believe it would be best that if any one person leaves the game the whole game should be cancelled, just like in co-op, because once pne person is gone, the game becomes reasonably unfair for the single player, in my opinion. If enough people agree, maybe that's something that should be taken into consideration.
This is definitely something you should add to the multiplayer. It's a lot of fun. I've been carrying my team pretty much for all the games and I wasn't in a party. So it's definitely something you should play with one of your skilled friends, so you don't have to do all the work. Also I think that situational awareness and evasion should be taken out of this playlist just due to the fact that most of the games i've played so far, that's all people are using. And it would give players more of a chance to change up their boosters.
Not a big fan of the 2 on 2.....
Twice already I've had a partner who left or got disconnected from the game and I was left playing 2 on 1.....Not real fun.....
Plus, just seems like you spend alot of time running around looking for guys....especially the campers.
Not to mention....I only play as a random....and seems like all the teams I come upon are with two guys that seem to know each other.....
So not a big fan....
I'd rather see an every man for himself playlist.....
I just want to mention BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY, because ND may take this information and make the game only 2v2 modes and nothing else.
To add to that this mode sucks just like i said it would when it was first announced, camp and oh camp, it may have been a good idea in 1.04 when campers didnt have a huge advantage like they do now.
It was fun. I had 2 lab matches so far. My recommendations to make this mode better are that part of the map be cut out. For example if the fort were to be used, cut out the basement & the stairwells on the sides. So the only the top part with all the cover would be visible. Also, weapon spawns should change up a bit. My 2v2 in the temple was pretty much a race to the Hammer & Rpg.
i really like it it's very tactical and you have to use strategy. as usual there is the race to the power weapons to begin the match. and finally no more getting shot in the back 10 times a game or shooting someone and having 4 people from the other team start shooting at you.
now if we can only have a no power weapons deathmatch that would be awesome i hate power weapons it takes no skill to use those.
