Should BF1 have a Sandbox Game Mode? By that, I mean a game mode where there are no objectives. Of any kind. Members of both teams are free to do whatever they want. Points are still awarded for kills, revives, assists, etc. But there are no flags to capture, no MCOMs to arm / disarm, etc. The only thing that matters is for gamers to do whatever they please. Snipers can snipe. Tankers can tank. Pilots can fly, etc. What do you think? ---

Yes. One team of real players against tons of bots. I hate to compare to CoD but cod zombies is similar to what I’m talking about. But this with be on a much bigger scale. Waves of enemies that get bigger and bigger. When you die, you don’t respawn unless you get revived by a medic. The only objective is to last as long as you can. The longer you last the bigger your bonus is at the end. Enemies can come in boats from the sea, or on land maps, air ships ---

I dont think thats what OP is suggesting. What he is suggesting is stupid, but he knows that already. ---

Horde mode? Not familiar with that. I think OP is suggesting a full map without tickets counting down. On going TD match, practice range whatever. This isn’t stupid it would actually be good because it would separate people that already play this way. Then people that actually play objective can play objective game modes. ---

You’re absolutely correct on all points. ---

Yes thats what OP is suggesting. Its stupid because the idea assumes that those players would rather play that mode than carry on doing what they are doing and enjoying it. They wouldnt do it if they didnt find it fun, so why would they choose to play in a completely different environment. Those players farm objectives or busy routes on the map. OP’s idea completely removes the ability to farm. ---

Then why dont you see ‘please make a tdm with vehicles’ threads on the forums? If thats what they want why dont they ask? This is the first thread i’ve seen. And its made by somebody that I know for a fact does not play that way. I think the idea is stupid for the reasons i’ve already stated. I dont agree with it because it is stupid, not the other way round. Not sure why you think you know me better than I do. And you clearly dont know a thing about the kind of players we are talking about. ---

Isnt that what we have in BF4 CQL? Its a tdm really without the ‘T’. People go around shooting each other, campers camp, tankers park and survey the area, pilots maraud the map from up top looking for people to shoot, MAAs sit in spawn while the driver is in the bathroom picking his nose, snipers sit on the hill on Rogue Transmission sniping people all the way across the other side of Golmud, engineers MBT Law snipers, support sit with the C4 trigger waiting for some one to pass over the c4, medics run like headless chickens, and 7-10 total players actually PTFOing are getting killed by all aforementioned scrubs. ---

My point is things that we don’t agree with are stupid to us by nature, that’s why we don’t agree with them ---

😕 but using “doesn’t make sense to me” to replace “stupid” doesn’t make sense to me. It’s stupid. 🙂 ---

You see, it doesn’t make sense to you and it’s stupid at the same time because it’s the same thing. Gotcha red handed! 1-0 ---
