TDM is mindless.
Realistic mode will make people think about giving away points to the opposition because it hurts them personally.
It also has the added benefit of making ‘valuable kills’ possible. eg. taking out that pro enemy covops will have a ripple effect in realistic.
The other bonus is that you can only feed on a bot up to only 4 kills. Whereas in arcade I’ve seen 2 even teams camp so hard they only kill each other’s bots to win.
* changing it to realistic still makes it TDM btw *
