What happened to rockets and repulsers?

Wasn’t there supposed to be a mode where we got to play rocket launchers and everyone has repulser equipment sending rockets back to each other in an epic explode feast? I think a few other fun game modes were mentioned but instead we keep getting repeats of lackluster game modes instead of these other fun mentioned modes. Any word on the fun game types coming to us at some point?

I think it was in rumble pit and I’ve seen gameplay of it, but I think it was only on recharge, which is weird.

Just checked. It’s not in Rumble pit anymore, which sucks since I never got to play it.

Also we haven’t been getting those rotational playlist. We had KOTH in May and Team Snipers since June. What happened to team skirmish?

Yeah I’m not a big fan of rumble pit. I only play when a challenge wants me to play or I’m trying to tank my CSR score. They need to at least mention it’s a new mode on rumble pit to gauge interest. The game mode playlist is horrible. Why not let us vote on the mode and map like the good ole days? This is why people drop out of games like crazy because they are trying to get actual sniper rifles in the match or a game of oddball. Blind queuing is just horrible.

It was removed because the games were “ending to the time limit too often”

I played it once, and it was horrible. Spawn, try to fire a rocket before you die 3 seconds later, repeat. No one could live long enough to hold the ball for longer than 2 seconds, meaning only the time limit could end the game.

It has been rightfully removed.

Never got to play it, so I can’t speak from experience. But why was it an Oddball mode? Couldn’t it just be slayer?

That’s a great question. Why was it oddball? Slayer probably wouldn’t time out. You could also probably add over shields to keep people from dying quite as quickly.
