I enjoy playing MA because I feel like it is a balance of TDM and Seige, with the point controlling and attacking people all over the map, and that it really is an efficient use of maps like Origin and Bazaar.

While siege is rather imbalanced right now, I love the fact that to win the game, you HAVE to work as a team, something that you don't see too often with players going solo, and team matches just turn into an FFA game where you don't shoot at half of the people in the map.

All game modes that you have to kill people in will have a TDM feel. I like MA because it just hands you three spots you know the enemy will be at. MA just needs more maps. It could be on Prosk if instead of lining up the silos putting S2 between S1 & S3 they could make a triangle shape with the silo positions. This would put in a nice touch to the game because just holding 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 wouldn't be the easiest any longer.

I'll only play Siege if it's CBE 1 Siege where the games are long and the times are fun. I loved Siege but this new in alpha Siege is awful. I like that ships no longer kamikazi though but they shouldn't interact with the players giving the already winning team another (I'd go as far as saying it is a large) advantage. Even worse is now 1 person can make 2 EU trips and send a ship off. No ideas we gave during the CBEs to make Siege better were taken into account and they gave us a watered down version. I remember leaping out of my chair with joy when I earned my first 13k XP. The time put into playing Siege was what made it so great. If you didn't have that time or patience Siege wasn't for you.

Not a huge fan of any of them, but Missile is currently the least exploitable

I like all of them for different things, kinda depends on my mood and what I need then. DM is fun for blowing off some steam and just cutting loose. TDM is fun whenI manage to get into a match with a few of my clanmates. MA is fun because its something different. Siege is what I go to for farming XP and credits.

Ah yeah you're right CBE2.

I didn't say there was a time the ships didn't shoot players. I was saying I don't like how they do and I believe that the winning team shouldn't get such an advantage. Those things hurt. Siege mode currently encourages spawn camping as hard and fast as you can which is why it's my least favorite.

I pretty much like all gametypes equally, except for DM. I prefer team based gametypes.

Added some more options for some of you guys that like more than one. Also wish I could make it 'who voted what' view able.

I like all of them except TDM. Don't really like team based combat that has the same goal as in DM.

Missile Assault with TDM second.  I like the constant movement and positioning needed to win in MA and a well coordinated team in TDM is actually quite fun.

Used to play Siege which can be fun but more often than not it turns into one team completely rolling the other mercilessly- after being on the receiving end of that a few times I decided the frustration just wasn't worth it.

I started a thread for a GLADIATOR mode.

I think it would be a fresh and exciting change for people to see if they got what it takes to be KING OF THE RING.

Check it out and tell me what you think. :D

Siege because it has so many things to do.  I could collect energy or I could preemptively guard the AA site while 3 people on my team grab eu.

Its a bit more relaxed than DM or TDM, so I like it.

I like Missile Assault the most. Objective-based modes are the way to go and it's a nice take on the standard king of the hill scenario. Now if only there was a three-team version...

Siege is so much fun to play, and MA would be my 2nd favorite.  I just love objective based games.
