I’m curious if they will in order to make room for the two new maps to get decent playtime at the beginning.
I’m mostly asking this because I would love to never play Launch Site again in most if not all symmetrical modes. I just feel like it’s very flawed for most modes aside 1 flag, team snipers and swat.
However I’m excited to see how it is in Covert One Flag.
From my data collection of the past Season… the game seems to choose the game mode first and then a map randomly. At least in Ranked Teams.
And KOTH seemed to have a definite boost - making up 25% of games. Slayer also seemed a little bumped at 21%. The rest were pretty evenly spread 16-18%.
The maps seemed to be random after that… so maps that have fewer game modes (eg. Bazaar and Aquarius) end up getting less game time. While the maps that have the most game modes get the bulk of play; Live Fire, Streets, and Recharge making up nearly 75%.
