  "account": "Welcome to FOV 90, a special edition FPS column that asks PC Gamer readers to vote twice on important video game matters. Today, we return from a hiatus to settle the debate over the greatest FPS mode of all time. Over 2,500 votes were cast across Round 2 matchups, and the results are in: Team Deathmatch (82%) narrowly beat Battle Royale (18%), with Conquest (63%) triumphing over Bomb Defusal (37%). Payload (77%) decisively won out over Infection (23%), and Capture the Flag (71%) edged out Attack & Defend (29%). Participants were asked to make tough calls, but the overwhelming majority favored classic team-based formats. Though I expected Conquest to fall short to Bomb Defusal, I was pleasantly surprised by the results. PC Gamer staff members reacted to the outcomes, and Round 3 is on the horizon. Voting closes on Sunday, November 8 at 11:59 PM PDT, so be sure to spread the word and cast your vote!",
