Fast, I still need to get back to you, and i promise to try better this weekend!!!
Back on topic, Hot wire is probably my favorite mode at the moment as well. I liked blood money the first time around as the concept was new and awesome, but the maps ive been on through our server... its... not my cup of tea. Hotwire is conquest, but the points roam so even though the map is the same... the choke points are the same... the strategy is some what up in the air. If no one drives through your trap, you aren't helping the team, and they rack up points. If you try and cross the bridge, then you probably deserve to get shot up. In all honesty, the server i do like to visit is a 24/7 hotwire, and it seems to always have 1-2 in the queue. We didn't have people really around and on to try and populate our server the first week, and i think thats what bit us, not really the game mode. I would say at least 75% or more of our core bf4 crew is still timid to try hardline or just doesn't want to give it a shot, so the regulars who like to play the hell out of games arent around to help bring in traffic yet either.
