Yeah that looks dumb, especially if that mode gets special treatment over the regular modes. Could've sworn this was a strategy game.

Like how can they act excited about: "you're playing super smart and well and then all of a sudden WHOOSH the other guy cockslaps you with the $5 he shelled out before the match started" and think everyone watching would be on board?

The Blitz mode is basically Command and Conquer 4 LMAO.

The mode has no base building, no resource gathering, no upgrading units and no building units. That's not what an RTS game is, especially when you can already see the different card packs they're gonna sell as microtransactions. Someone's skill in an RTS shouldn't be determined by how big their wallet is.

Is there any RTS game where each side has an equal amount of soldiers and vehicles and have to eliminate all the soldiers in the enemy team before the enemy does the same thing to you?

EndWar, Sins of a Solar Empire, Myth, Dawn of War 2, Total War, etc.

ONLY IN FOR THE SP

This game should have been a Halo version of Battlefield.

I dunno about the others but that doesn't apply in Total war. Unless you're talking about skirmish where you can set an army budget

Blitz is a shitty version of Wargame

Sins also has you make buildings to make more units, boost your economy, and do tech research

EndWar is the only one I can think of that did that and it was a pretty good game.
