Sometimes I just have only a little bit of time to play a match. I vote that there should be a SHORT MATCH MODE:

3 Waves with 1 being an Objective Wave for the credits, plus Extraction

[SinerAthin]

How about a short mode.

Half the time, but double the challange.

[KroganSmash]

Play a bronze game they take like 15 minutes.

Got a difficulty in mind?  Would it start you off at the equivalent of wave 8,9,10 + Extraction, or would it be 2,3,4 + Extraction?  Or would it just be a progressive thing? 

Actually, in the case of a short match, making the objective wave the same as the extraction wave could be... challenging... would also keep people from skipping out after the 3rd wave (e.g. skipping extraction after wave 10).

You would still get to choose the difficulty level, but there would simply be less waves. Your rewards would be less, but it would allow you to play a quick 5-10 minute match.

Essential it would be: Horde Wave, Objective Wave, Horde Wave, Extraction

Sometimes I play a couple of normal matches and want to play one more, but find I just don't quite have the extra time for it

I was actually aiming for something even shorter - to get a quick fix in. Maybe like 5-8 minutes. You'd get reduced rewards obviously, but it would be in ratio to a regular length match

Sorry, I didn't mean Bronze, Silver, Gold difficulty (I figured you woudl still choose that)... I was thinking wave difficulty, because wave 2,3,4 are easier than 5,6,7 or 8,9,10 (but in this case wave 9 would be the Objective, instead of 10). 

So, while you would choose B/S/G difficulty, the actual waves would be similar to ... 2,3,4 or 5,6,7, or 8,9,10?  or would it be something new, more like... 6,8,10 + Extraction (with objective on 8).

I should clarify, that I like the idea of a short mode... sometimes that's all the time I have...

[TheWout]

I think this is a great idea.
Especially with the random disconnects you get every now and then

[tutzdes]

I would like to play the game with 10 objective waves. It would be challenging as it's much more probable to get a hack on the open or even multiple hacks so no missiles could save you from the poor teamplay.

Theres also 0 challenge involved in bronze. You can run around like Rambo with no reprocussions

I think the point is to have something with a avergae elapsed time under 10 minutes. When you throw a slcie of pizza in the over to heat up, you can play a 10 minute game and go grab your food. At 15, you risk it burning. And most Bronze matches are usually in the 18-20 range to begin with.

I would love some sort of fast paced mode. Maybe a 10 minute total time, and endless waves. Just hold out for as long as possible. Creits awarded based on how long your team survives and how many enemies you kill.

i love this idea.

imo, it would ideally be a collection of middle waves. 5-7 or 8 would probably be ideal.

[BjornDaDwarf]

I would love both a shortened and lengthened version, to throw some variety in.

For shortened, it would be nice when maybe I only have 30 minutes to play. Could get in multiple matches and more variety. Even dropping down to a bronze, if you have a 30 minute window to play, you're only going to get one map in (once you've dealt with lobby, everyone getting ready, loading screens, 1 bronze can take 20 minutes).

I would also like shortened matches to try super weird/challenging builds with. Whenever I try something well out of the norm, I go 1 Bronze, 1 Silver and finally a Gold if it feels okay. But I've had a few builds that just collapsed once they were on Gold. I always feel bad for the rest of the team if I'm not able to contribute well in a Gold match. If I had a shorted 3-5 wave version, then taking in weird builds would feel a lot more viable (not as much time at risk).

Finally, occasionally it would be fun to do an epic 15-20 wave match. At Wave 10/11 now, I'll bet the hardware is controlling as many AI troops as it possibly can. But after W10, instead of more numbers, enemy health and damage could just start incrementally increasing. Say 2-5 percent per Wave, so at W20, it would be like a normal W10, but everything would be 50 percent harder to kill and pack a 50 percent harder punch.

I like that idea. Depending on difficulty, you add a seriously apocalyptic amount of enemies and try to hold on, with credits given out by kills and assists rather than shared.  No missiles though. This way you appeal to the gamers who are always trying to top the scoreboard, and you're still rewarding good teamwork.

[kr3g]

I support this. 5 minute game would be nice

[BazoozooTV]

What if it were just objectives waves?
Wave 1 = eliminate target
Wave 2 = escort the package
Wave 3 = enable devices
Wave 4 = Upload/Hack
Wave 5 = Extraction

[ohiocat110]

I'd like that. It's tough to have play in half-hour chunks all the time.

I like the idea of 3-5 wave missions, or just avalanche mode when they throw enemies at you until you die.

Cheers to this one!

It does exist, play gold but not (FW, Ghost) with randoms with no team balance, complete wave 3, if you dont die don't do anything after that, wont be long. Sure you may get abuse but leave asap

I would rather them take that time in making the loading screens shorter.  If they cut the load time in half, I could play 2 silvers in the amount of time it would take for 1 now just adding up the amount of time I spend staring at a stupid blue screen.

[Mr. Heavy]

I'd love it if it was just waves 1-6 no other extraction wave, just right to mission accomplished. No bonuses for extraction, of course. Prob about 1/2 regular
Time.

Or heck, how about the host can choose 3, 6, or 10+e rounds. Nothing that a group can't do in a defacto sense right now anyway.

I'd think they'd be average for the difficulty levels, so you'd be looking at something like 5,6,7?
