BO3: Raise the TDM Score limit to #TDM100?

In case you don't stalk David Vonderhaar on his Twitter..... Well, you are missing out.  He's actually a pretty cool dude.

 

He has a poll out on his twitter, good for about 23 more hours, to vote on whether we should raise TDM to 100 kills or leave it at 75.

 

I voted to raise it, because if I get some good hit detection, I'd love to have a bit more in game time to use it.

 

YMMV,

It always amazes me that they don't just make the default score 100 since 99.9% of the time this is what people want.

 

TDM is by far the most populated game mode... like it or not... And with how fast you die in the recent games, it makes sense to extend the score limit to allow less skilled players more of a chance to have fun instead the usual five minutes into the match and it's already 25-5 :(

hopefully they'll introduce this and i might get a chance to take out a few more wraiths and stuff out in tdm,was starting to really wish i'd gotten the launchers diamond before they buffed the streaks.

Who the hell plays TDM... :D

 

Still love ya JD... ;)

 

You know, us guys who rage like idiots with their ass on fire when they are hurling themselves a dumb DOM location while pricks on the other team sit back getting their salad's tossed by their dogs and holding down LT and RT on their LMG because that's all they can do.

 

Keep it up, I'll hide your pain meds, and made you chase me to get the location.  Wookies are scary up close, but their cardio is for shit.  :D

You are so mean to me... ;)

 

And I'm the exception to the rule brother,I still run at least 3 miles every day since I can't lift.Right now my cardio's on point,pretty much all I got at the moment.

 

And I know you love TDM and hate DOM but you gotta admit you had some fun playing DOM.And I played TDM for the first time in about 5 years when we partied up.

 

But won't giving 100 a kill promote even more camping ?

100 Kills to end the game, instead of the current 75 kills.  Should extend the second round of streaks out a bit and allow for a decent player to see some success.  As it stands, even as a good player, you are going to be HARD PRESSED to put up the 3rd and 4th tier score-streaks (example, the only GI Units and Mothership - singular, I have seen in TDM, were early and from care packages).  

 

Will they camp more?  Probably.  Nothing is going to stop that I'm afraid.

 

But with a bit longer game, you have a chance to really punish them once you figure out their tactics.  I keep a class loaded with EMP's and things I can throw (like C4 or the Trip Mine) and a shotgun class with Hard Wired at the ready, for just such occasions. :D

They need to up per kill to 125 then specials to 150 while they're at it lol

That alone would suffice IMO.

125 per kill and 150 per specialist kill even with 75kill TDM is sweet,

 

125 per kill and 150 per specialist kill with 100kill TDM is overkill IMO.

 

I'm sure you'd love it, considering you're like a 5KD animal :)

I have done many TDM with the new format (100 kills limit) and I am constantly having 20+ kills where before it was happening only once in a while and XP is around 14 000 (includes challenge,...).

 

to summarize happy with the change here.

Von's been pretty open about their expectations around earning streaks and game time.  If the games are going past about 8:00 minutes on the regular, they will reduce it back down.

 

After gaming throughout the weekend on both platforms, admittedly sparingly, I suspect this will be the case.  The full lobbies on the dedis didn't have any problem finishing matches in a timely manner, but I don't think I played more than one or two P2P games where it went to 100 score.  It usually ended with one team in the 80's and the other in the 60's with a lot of drop outs and sometimes lobby balance of like 4 on 2.   :huh:

 

PS4:  Games on the dedi's seem to balance out fairly well, not too many lop-sided beat downs.  Combine continues to be a popular map and those games are ending very quickly.  Larger maps seem to drag and for some reason Aquarium is a map with a ton of engagements, but rarely goes to 100 (for me).

 

XB1:  The match making, my sample set may be corrupt if I truly am on the bad kids' list for matchmaking, is awful.  The XB1 P2P circuit, which is the hell I find myself in lately, just doesn't seem to fill lobbies.  The lobbies seem to be in a constant state of looking to add more players, but the doorman isn't letting anyone in.  I get games that are 4 on 1, or 3 on nobody and we are all just sitting there waiting for the lobby to give us anyone on the other team.

 

I saw a lot of screenshots on Twitter from really good players absolutely dismantling lobbies (100-37, really?) which I can't imagine is what Activision wants.

 

I suspect(personally expect) the TDM score to be dropped back down this week and it may stay there for a bit while they further fine tune some things.

i conservatively estimate i played about 50 games maybe a few more.


 


i heard the countdown timer 4 times.


 


1 game lost on 98 to 99 lol


 


1 game was drawn 97 each , i can't ever remember a draw before!


 


and the other 2 finished before the timer expired (cant remember the scores)


 


interestingly,all 4 games were on hunted


 


i got the calling card for calling in 10 streaks in a match 10 times so you can quote me happy.
