A debate brews among gamers regarding the push map format. Discussion erupted this week as players voiced mixed feelings about push mode and its cousin, Flashpoint. Recent trends suggest a divide in preferences, while some express relief at avoiding these game types altogether.
The Great Divide: Push vs. Flashpoint
Players recently took to forums to share their thoughts, making clear the split in sentiment. Many dislike push maps; one player said, "Good, I don’t like push maps or Flashpoint. I have my friends all vote the same maps so we can purposely avoid those maps as much as possible."
Conversely, others defend the mode with comments like, "Push is honestly fine. It's not terrible, it's not the best." This neutrality suggests that some see potential in the map style, even if it’s not a favorite.
Comp Mode Controversies
Players concerned about competition mode expressed frustrations over map rotations. One player shared, "Clash was removed from comp mode because something happened, so if you almost only play comp (like me), you don’t play it a lot." This comment hit home for those who prioritize competitive gameplay, emphasizing a point of contention in the community.
