TDM is dead

Posted by fantasmo on Nov 15, 2012 3:36 PM

Loving the game but you've killed one of the best gamemodes, TDM.

 

I've been playing TDM but you've made it ridiuclously hard to earn streaks as there are barely any ways to earn score in TDM. Its hard enough to carry team mates but then you limit the streaks we can achieve due to the kill limit and score. If you're going to put high scorestreaks in you need to adjust all the game modes to suit them, not just the objective game modes.

      Lone wolfing?? Im talking about how the game modehas been limited score wise.. They've put so much incentive into trying to earn streaks but don't give you the options to do it in TDM, why would you put a game mode in and gimp it so badly.

    I am pretty sure high killstreaks were hard to get in any other game.

      No, I don't mean it like that. I mean it like the possibilties of getting score like this:

       

      Kill confirmed:

      50 per kill

      100 per tag

      75 per deny

      25 (I think) per own tag deny

       

       

      Per kill and tag thats 150 already, that brings down the amount of score needed to much fewer kills making it more managable per game. However in TDM the only way is to kill which is 100 per kill meaning you must get 19 kills in a row (- killstreak score) to earn the highest streak - this would be fine but the kill limit comes into play meaning that if you die on 17-18 its unlikely you'll be getting another 19 killstreak. This is why you rarely see high streaks in TDM now, it limits the choices scorestreak wise.

        Personally, I like gun on gun fights. Killstreaks ruin the game for the opposing team. Ground War has been near impossible to play on in past CoD's because I join a game where an AC-130 is already in the air mowing me down as I spawn.

          Yeah, the gun on gun is nice but the problem comes in with the team balancing (evident in all CoDs) where 5 shitty players are put on the team which has the player that scored the highest and the remainder are put on the opposing team, this forces the top player to carry the 5 shitty randoms eamning that we can't only rely on gun on gun as we can't protect all 5 of the shitty players from dying which is where the streaks come in, it makes carrying the noobs managable each game.

        I agree i'v been a major fan of TDM forever, but it is practically impossible to earn high kill streaks in this game type. IMO the score per kill in TDM should build with each succesive kill say by 25 points per kill helping you acheive a higher point streak and ultimately more points streak rewards.

    I've got tons of streaks ._. More then I have gotten on any other Call of Duty, so i dont see exactly what you're problem is.

      Thats a bit odd by TDM standards. Anyway, im talking about consitentently getting the higher streaks in the game that allow me to carry my team mates, they're not really feasible to run which limits the choices we can make streak wise.

    TDM has always been more difficult to get higher killstreaks in because it's kill limited.  This is not new.  You also get 100 points per kill in TDM versus the 50 per kill in all of the objective modes.  So it's already balanced for what it is supposed to be.  If anything it's more balanced than any previous CoD before it.  Now personally, I wouldn't mind a new TDM that isn't kill limited and just lets you run to time limit.  That would solve your issue and be pretty fun to play.

      Kills in domination are worth 100, which is kind of the reason I brought this thread up. Why were all game modes raised score wise while TDM remains the exact same without any ways of collecting score.
