Main reason for me?
Multis
for battle its not a bad system, but for siege its horrible. There is just nothing that makes you want to leave the game more, then trying your ass off, killing 10-20 in 6 mins, and getting nothing for it.
Fun aside this is an xp game, we are all here to grind our chars, nothing screams "k, fuck siege, time for battle" more then having an amazing rnd, and not getting rewarded for it.
And now that so few people play, more often then not, siege usually goes down a lil something like this
Rnd 1: defense, you do amazing, try ur ass of, but unfortunately lose in the last min, possibly due to team, possibly due to unbalanced map. you lost, but you did save flag a bunch of times....valor goes to? usually noone, anoher reason siege is unrewarding, but when it does go out, it rarly goes to the people saving the flag, it goes to the people that leave their teammates to rack up kills on the wall or enemy spawn.
Rnd 2: k, so rnd 1 was frustrating, no biggie, you have a good team and your attacking now...you are doing well.....goddamn it..TOO WELL SLOW DOWN OR people will leave...too late, people already leaving, hurry get to the flag b4 its too late....your at flag, its dropping,,,soo close, almost there,,,boom!! yes, u won!!
"teams unfair" GODFUCKING DAMMIT THERE IS ONLY A 2 PLAYER DIFFERENCE FFS!!!
Rnd 3: back to defense...k screw it, i know im gonna lose this anyway...go for valor. you head for the walls, and for whatever reason, everyone fallows you....flag is ninja capped
Rnd 4: well if they can ninja cap it...i can too,...so you sneak around, screw helping ur team, screw getting point or kills, drop the flag, thats all that matters...haha u are there, no one sees you, its dropping..annnnnnd, DONE IT DROPPED!! U WON SUCCESS!!!
"teams are not fair"
and cuz u ninjad instead of fighting on the wall....valor if any, goes to....well, not you going after the actual objectives u can bet that
so u just spent all that time on a x1....its the equivalent of getting stuck with thee absolute worst team in battle mode, where you just know you are gonna keep getting steam rolled and stay on x1 for 30 min to an hour...which is a battle players worst nightmare ( besides the actual knightmare of course )
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
True story, happens all the time, very frustrating, very unrewarding, very pointless...yeah, it can be fun to play, ultimately ruined by the fact you need xp to grow, and the xp system in this mode is HIGHLY FLAWED
