I was vehemently against TDM when people brought it up countless times before, but I've kind of changed my stance. After doing the same objectives over and over and over... I kind of need something else. While I prefer to play objective modes 90% of the time, sometimes you just want to relax and do nothing but kill people. Hell I wouldn't even care if it still didn't track kills and deaths - just get me away from those objectives I've done a thousand times now.
^^ THIS.
At first I was in Phoenix's camp, I considered TDM an affront to a game which was desperately trying something new and just being attacked for not being the same.
These days though, Iunno, I play some Brink, i do a lot of just sprinting around killing people. And I really think the Labs opening foyer would make for some really interesting multi-platform combat. TBH the inclusion of TDM here would be the same as it's inclusion in Battlefield - if you don't like it, you don't need to play it, but it'd do good things for the playerbase and help freshen up a game that, 90% of the time, is just a rehearsed series of events that you've performed identically COUNTLESS times.
