Thank You to everyone who participated in our first ever MechWarrior Online player challenge!

We saw some excellent BattleMech combat through the course of the weekend, with over 100,000 players joining the 8,026 challenge participants in some epic battles.

We are happy to announce the official winners:



Players will receive a cockpit banner on March 5th during downtime.

We've collected lots data, heard your feedback and we look forward to March and new player challenges! Until then, enjoy some really cool challenge statistics!

How can there be 151k more kills than deaths?

not everyone did click opt-in. I guess the stats you see are only from people taking part in the competition, but oyu could have been kileld by someone who was in the competition withotu being in it yourself, so +1K, but no D

You had to opt in to be tracked. As you'd expect better players to opt in, this result isn't surprising.

Edit: Looks like I've been ninja'd. Also:

I'm very interested in this myself.

People who didn't opt in. They still dropped against people in the tournament. Also, any 4man groups would count towards that too.

Edit: Ninja'd twice.

congratulations to everybody willing to coke up and wear a diaper for a cockpit banner, may the next (who's the best) tournament rely on more than numbers influenced by strangers and time played

Is there any way we could get those stats, but for the top X in the leaderboard. Or just for Broceratops.

DDC, 3D, Cent A, and 3L for probably 80% of the matches. Wasn't exactly innovative but hey.

Not everyone want's the D I guess.

Makes sense.

[ciller]

Grats to all the winners, it was a hard fought battle!! I hope to see you all again on the battlefield soon.

[Dizazter]

I'm going to assume the XP and C Bills stats exclude bonuses?

[New Breed]

This was me when I quit.. after I knew I couldn't play for 72 hours. I used nothing but the founders atlas, never touched the DDC.. so I win ...right guys?

Called 3L for overall victor. I'm betting #'s 2-100+ used it for their light mech. Maybe they will actually release those stats if they aren't too embarrassing - though I'm sure med/heavy were better contested with different mechs.

Great work with the rest, sad to see you had to succumb to the 3L to get there though.

encouragement for players to innovate is the responsibility of the developers and rule makers of tournaments. blaming the player for doing everything in his or her power to win is just making excuses for failure by pointing out what you didn't do, while trying to cover up the real problem.

I'd love to see some stats on what mechs and weapons were used.
