Why does everyone default to TDM?

Post » Sat May 04, 2013 3:28 am

I've noticed that when the lobby numbers are really low (late at night) everyone seems to default to TDM
I guess I just don't get the giant popularity of TDM and not just for Cysis3 but for TDM in any FPS.
It always feels like the most boring and redundant kind of game mode, but I know for many of you it's the only mode you play.
I guess I just like and prefer objective type modes more than the average masses it seems like.

I'm not bashing TDM, one of my most fun matches last night wound up being on TDM. Maybe it's the shortness of the matches and nothing else to do but spot kill, spot kill, that always makes me feel like I whish there was something else to do which is why I usually go for the other game modes.

I know there would be more games running for crashsite/spears if people were a little bit more patient but asking most gamers to have that is like asking them to wait out the end of the known universe. If I find no one in the lobby for crashsite/spears I usually just stay there and go do something else for 15 to 20 minutes. Then usually enough curious people poking there heads in stay and get a match going. After that there's usually at least 1 game running for the rest of the night for me.

I know that TDM is simple shorter and maybe that's why everyone defaults to it, I just whish more would default to some of the objective style game modes. I needs my Spears fix!!! :-o

I personally prefer crash site and spears and try to wait at least a few minutes before I default to TDM.. I can play both though pretty good.

It kills me seen that less than 14 players on Crash Site.

I've been trying to do tips & tricks video for Crash Site and it took 2 days and waiting in the lobby for hours to find 1 good game lag free



Damn shame really

Problem is the majority of people don't want to wait ages getting into a Crash Site Spears game, but in all honestly the majority of times I squad up with friends and we start a new lobby within 5 - 10 mins you can usually get a game started, granted it might not properly fill up until the end of the match, but most people are just impatient, Iv seen people join lobbies for a minute or 2 then back out, wtf if how are you ever going to get a game started if everyone did that.

I much prefer Crash Site / Spears if you get in a good lobby where most of the people ptfo.
