Finally managed to play my first game of Code of Power last night.

Usually, there are 0 players in the match category for the PC, so it was a rare treat.

Actually, I think it might have been more fun than Team Deathmatch or Conquest.

Having to play defense for five minutes and then switching to offense created a greater sense of drama than the disordered slugfest of Team Deathmatch and the constant vacillation of Conquest.

And there are few things more terrifying than having to march a flag back to your base using only your robot mode while knowing there is a squad of seekers and tanks on your tail.

Anyway, it's a pity that more players don't try out this mode. Actually, it would be a boon if players could set up servers that randomly cycled through the different modes just to switch things up.

I liked Code of Power and Countdown to Extinction too as far as gameplay goes, but I just didn't get much XP as I could for Power Struggle or Deathmatch, and I think, that's why they get a lot less action right now as everyone is trying to level up. If there were more game-specific XP rewards for playing those MP modes, maybe more people would try it out.
