Last night they added two new playlists, Objective Barebones Pro and Barebones Pro. These have no killstreaks. Objective is like mosh pit with game modes and barebones pro has TDM/FFA that rotate (easily to vote out FFA if the room wants too). The TDM/FFA is 8 person max, 4v4. Party chat is allowed too.

I played a bit last night in TDM/FFA and it was nice without killstreaks. More quiet and strategic. Actually used a SMG and had a lot of battles with others using SMG's, nice change of pace. You can easily hear commando's running like tards without aircraft in the air. Also, less spawn dieing to air support is nice, and overall seems to be better spawns.

Going to play more of this tonight I think but it could be a nice alternative to all the kids in the main rooms. No more chopper gunner care package crap and things like that either.

After playing this a few days, I definitely LOVE it, but there's issues.

1) FFA should be removed or added as its own playlist. People are boosting with ease right now in barebones pro. You can join with a PARTY of up to 8 and get FFA matches and have the room to yourselves. Usually with 4-5 you can have a room to yourself. I've caught multiple boosters so far when it's FFA.

2) There's match making issues. We had a team of 4 last night in my party and when the game mode to be played is TDM, NO one will join and fill up the next team. You HAVE to skip to FFA and get it going and HOPE people join, finish the game, and are around for the next time TDM shows up, which is 50/50 chance.

So in conclusion, their idea was good, but they failed (IW, big surprise). This can easily be fixed though with the removal of FFA and keeping it strictly TDM and fixing the match making (which I think is a product of FFA/TDM switching back and forth).

When it works though, seldom, its really fun without KSs. Shows you who is really good at shooting.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
