I love every bit of TF2 except for this one mode. It's the only game mode in which I've actually rage quit and I hate that. I get that the mode is a mad dash killing spree with every single player trying to rack up AI kills and pilot kills so I can expect a lot of sweat and effort but once the scales tip a certain way it's virtually impossible to make a comeback because the team with the most score means more money, earlier and more frequent titanfalls, which in turn allows them to kill even more and even faster.

I personally loathe the fact that 50% of your bonus is stripped from you every time you die, I feel that it's a bit much and you really can't recover too well from that unless you happen across some unaware pilots or get to the AI drop sites first, which are already infested with enemy pilots camping in vantage spots. I'm comfortably a run and gunning player and this game mode is a death sentence for me; everyone is set up in either their titans or camping areas picking off AI and runners so you can't get into any of the hot zones without being caught in some sort of grenade spam (electric smoke especially), heavy projectile weapons, or even just titans. I get that it's a valid strategy for this mode and I shouldn't be complaining but it's honestly infuriating to try and out-play everyone else or to even just try and get a few AI kills.

Maybe I'm just a shit player and I need to git gud but the need to vent was too great.
