Artifact Assault is the most fun game mode? | Forums

I like the Artifact Assault team-based mode very much, yet I do think it can do with a lot of changes. Right now, many players use the teleport and smokebomb ability to quickly get the enemy's artifact and to get to their own base. That's not so very nice, because I think the game would be much better if the players really have to get to the artifact in a stealthy way and then make their way to their own base without using such things as teleport.

I don't like the hidden gun either, because now players can quickly kill their opponents and reclaim the artifact. I hope the AC team will do something about these game modes and make some changes.

Although I don't like the smoke bomb, hidden gun and teleport, the artifact assault game itself is very nice. I always get a thrill when I've taken the artifact and I love the fun once I've made it to my own base!

Personally, it's my least favorite. Seems to bring out the worst in some players, using what I would consider cheap tactics. Cheap tactics aren't always bad, but when everyone is doing something that just irks me, then the mode is no longer fun.

AA is the best game mode.

I think it would be cool to have a seperate Artifact Assault mode with no gun and no teleport but overall gun and tele really don't bother me that much, they add a challenge but that just helps to up the intensity, sometimes to an excessive point but nonetheless it is possible to win against these abilities without using them. Another thing to note is that hidden gun may kill the runner, but the flag is dropped where they lie, meaning another player can swoop in and grab it.

Also I agree that stealth is one of the main features of AC and isn't always emphasized as much as we would like, but you can't forget about how important the free running feature is also, and artifact assault really pushes this to the limit. I love stealthy gameplay in many different modes but it is nice to be able to just sprint around from time to time without as severe consequences

The only significant problem with AA (other than the existence of the hidden gun) is the change to points for stealing an artifact made during beta. That should be put back to 1000 points. It would really encourage people to make an effort to steal artifacts instead of camping on defense. The most boring game in the world are two teams playing turtle in AA. Games where everyone is going for the artifact, on the other hand, are crazy.

LOL, yes it is the most fun !!!

AA is the best team-based mode in my opinion because it's not as much broken as the others.

Hear hear. They are broken because of RDM. AA works because RDM doesn't matter. Deathmatch works because the map is so small that it compensates for RDM.

I love AA because you have the freedom to free run, and that's a way the mode can be correctly played. Sometimes I just want to break free of my shell and fly away...but anyways. Continuing with this topic, I'm a Manhunter and a Deathmath-er. Lol, Wanted is full of runners, and I just don't like that. Plus, these game types give loads of points, at least 6k a game. Assassinate is broken. Steal The Artifact I've never played. Corruption gets a bit repetitive and it's a bit short for my liking, and there isn't much payout. What am I missing? Oh, I love Chest Capture and Escort, just can't find matches...first world problems??

TL;DR, I love AA, Deathmatch, and Manhunt. k.

[SpontaneousC0W]

I love Chest Capture! ;D

No way stealth will get you anywhere in AA. The only abilities that are of any real use are teleport, smoke, mute, and knifes. All the others are useless against good players lol for both offense and defense :]
