guys, i'm begging you for a shorter game mode. i love hawken but 30-40 minute games are killing me. i'm not asking you to change everythihng, just add a 'siege: express' and a 'missile: express' that are like half the length.

PLEASE!!!

Cool option if it leaves the long games intact.

Is a team modes, if you do not play as a team is no wonder you play for 40 min.

if you want a shorter game go play one of the shorter game modes like deathmatch

What a bad suggestion.

Just because someone doesn't want to spend 40+ minutes in a match, doesn't mean they should have to give up on a objective based game mode.

I really would like it if Siege was shorter.

It almost seems siege is meant to be a mode that can drag on for a long time. Maybe give the ships more health each time they're launched so eventually just getting a ship out guarantees a hit_ Or straight up combine Missile with Siege so there's at least something that'll eventually destroy the base.

I rather like how siege matches average 30 minutes though. What's wrong with Missile Assault for short objective based games_

i would like a fast objective based gameplay rather then a short siege mode

capture the flag

attack and defend type objective

VIP where you gotta protect a certain person on your team while killing someone on there team could be round based (first team to kill the opposing VIP gets a point) or point based (get a point everytime you kill there VIP then the VIP switches to another player on there team)

I've never found Siege games to run too long. Maybe 40 minutes tops - that's pretty short, realistically.

Then again, though, maybe I'm just used to longer matches from my UT or Section 8 days.

40 min matches sound fine to me.  Can the game use more objective based game types_  Sure!  I have no objection to a quicker lighter match, but siege mode is the meat and potatoes for me in this game, please don't change it!

and as mentioned before, siege mode requires heavy team coordination to be successful.  Work with your team and you'll no doubt have shorter matches.  I think the longer matches are just a result of people not really knowing what the most efficient use of their time is in a match like this.  Often times you'll see 3 players trickle charging off of an exhausted node; they don't realize that one player can gather the exact same amount of energy in the same amount of time.  the others need to break off and defend, or assault the enemy's node, or prepare to defend/assault the AA.

We hear you! Improving siege mode was one of our chief takeaways from CBE1.

Yeah... people end up flaking off when energy requirements goes up to 800+
