In this incarnation of COD I have mostly been playing Kill Confirmed.
And while I still love that game mode, I told myself that I would force myself to play other modes.
A lot of you guys regularly play Dom, so I gave that a go yesterday. Actually really enjoyed it, in terms of fun. probably helped that I got a nice Chopper-> VSAT -> Swarm combo!
But, I just found it fun, and I feel less competitive on it. Because there is more than one way to play it i.e. play the objectives/cap/defend, etc; just kill-whore/not play the objective. So I don't really know what it means to be good at this game mode. I mean I know that I think that just getting a massive KD in it is not impressive to me, cos it's not that hard to do if you don't play the objective (if you're a decent player).
I guess being really good at it means a good KD plus a decent number of caps, regularly.
Like, I like long gun killstreaks, that's what really gets me off the most when playing this game, but in a game mode like Dom, as we've joked about before on here many'a time (a MOAB in Dom is half-a-MOAB, etc), I wouldn't feel the same sense of achievement getting a higher gun-killstreak in this mode as I would in say a Kill Confirmed, or a Team Deathmatch.
Probably TDM is the rawest mode for this kind of thing, I think, as it's all about the killing only, nothing else.
Free For All to some degree, but I don't think it's as hard as TDM.
Played some FFA too recently. Enjoyed it, but for me it encourages me to 'hold down an area' (though I do mean an actual area, and not just one spot/corner/room), just running between a few points and shooting them as they come back for me. fun for a bit, but gets lonely/boring for me!
Like Domination, it's great fun, but it's so much easier to build up your scorestreak in it. In my game yesterday, I had a chopper before I knew it, and VSAT, and the swarm came about 5-10 seconds later. it all happened so fast that I don't really know what I did to achieve it!
I'll carry on trying Domination, it is good fun, for sure.
But I think I might go and give TDM a go too, see if I'm actually any good at this game or not!
(excuse the ramblings, a bored/cold/tired Monday morning in the office!!)
