Add a capture the point objective for the last 15-20 seconds in the center of the map so people cannot just hide the whole round. Don't reward camping it out to win the round.
I completely understand if you don’t have the time right now to implement Bodybomb V2, but VERSUS is the one mode that gives your game its own identity, and I think it needs to be improved as soon as possible. Right now, the matches feel too scattered and, after a while, they can turn into a game of hide-and-seek rather than an actual fight with a clear objective. My suggestion would be to make the rounds time-based, for example 4–5 minutes. Once the timer runs out, a central area of the map could open up, similar to how Hardpoint works. The first team to capture and secure that area wins the round.
Thank you, someone gets it. Something similar to TeamFight on Tarkov Arena. Or even just add 5v5 Bomb Defusal to Competitive, and penalize people for intentionally leaving early. There's no other win condition to force fights so people hide and wait for drone cooldown to finish, pop drone, then crouch walk 30m to get shot in the head. Meanwhile 8 people have been waiting 7 minutes for next the round. These long drawn out games make people bored, they leave, host migration happens, people lose connection to the new host, making the match even longer. It's way too much friction, breaks immersion. And it makes the R points not even worth the time or effort. Although its not every match, its quite often. Anything to fix this would make me a happy gamer
Versus mode is long and insanely boring on large maps like trenches. People just sit in corners with no reason to push each other. Add a bomb site or something.
I feel the same way. I was about to post my own suggestion with same idea before stumbling onto yours. Either a central obj needs to appear for capture, Bomb Defuse comes back as 5 v 5, or Versus matches should be shortened to 90 seconds. I feel any of these options would resolve Versus mode and make it far more enjoyable.
