Would you support a new infantry FPS Gametype (exiting/entering mech as shown in the academy) after either attacking side destroys all enemy mechs and now has to infiltrate command base on foot in order to secure final objective?


Gametype would be a skirmish, with the difference of either side having to destroy all enemy mechs BEFORE being given the ability to exit mechs in order to assault command base of opposing team. Even if 1 side does destroy all enemy mechs, and cannot secure objective inside command post by being wiped out in a firefight, they still lose. This gives the losing team of mech fighting the ability to still win if they hold the fort down. It would also give extra c-bills/gxp etc to the losing/winning team for having participated in an extended objective match that takes longer or has more steps to complete. What do you think? I believe this would bring new life to MechWarrior Online and would attract an even bigger crowd of new/returning players who are interested in FPS, and would greatly increase the revenue of Piranha Games to further support MechWarrioir Online and its future.

I would not support a new gametype.
I would support letting you get out/eject from your 'mech and run about on foot.

No radar, no electronics, no minimap, only an autorifle, which is even less effective than a machine gun. One hit and you die. The only good thing being you can't be detected except by visual. And no objectives either, your 'mech is dead so you can't do anything but harass.

Would like to see it, but optional.

Perhaps as part of a mini-campaign in FW:
Step one: Mech's scout,
Step two: Winner of Step one choses Gamemode/map for main mech fight,
Step three: Winner of step two get's some advantage in taking over or defending actual base.
