MPBT 3025 was a trial by fire type and I enjoyed it alot. The people that I hung with didnt have any problems with it.
When we got someone in the group that was new, they dropped with us and we watched thier backs.

Thanks for the reply. Does this mean that we wont be able to participate in leagues that existed during the MW4 days?

I personally enjoyed MW4 very much. I loved every aspect of the game - including the so called ' pop tarting ', laser boats (Nova Cat), big assualt 8 v 8's, 3rd person camera and much more. However, the thing I appreciate most about it is the bond I developed with my clanmates (teammates) after spending hours and hours playing together to be best team (in various leagues such as VL etc..)

I loved the ability to have user hosted servers because it allowed for team practices, custom settings (such as forced 3rd OR 1st person views depending on the match), tonnage limits, and more. Additionally, the exisitence of various leagues helped give me something to strive for as an individual (top individual on the leaderboards) and as a member of a bigger team.

The comraderie I developed with other pilots has been missed ever since I stopped playing MW4.

I don't care too much for which direction MWO eventually goes as long as teamplay is an essential part of the game. I want to be able to host practices with my teammates, participate in ladders & tournaments and anything else that helps foster a sense of community, team and comraderie.

Agreed, this topic has been brought up a couple times before on these boards as well. I really hope we as players will be able to set up our own games whether its private/semi-private/public.

The F2P game Tribes:Ascend shipped with this feature allowing custom servers, although in beta.

You just use the in game currency to rent custom server time.
Maybe people will only want a certain map's' to play on, etc.

I like the feature, I hope it flourishes more on Tribes and here.
Decent servers though, not laggy.

This, I think, would actually work out pretty well. Allow the option to pay for private "server" time via in-game currency or real money, choose map (or map type, since there'll be a ton of actual maps if the posted IS map is any indication), and maybe a few other bells and whistles. This would be a time/cash sink that's actually used.

It's another avenue of income that's not intrusive by using MC.

I took this screenshot to give an idea what they do:
When you start games you have many starting options and choices, have full remote control, kicks, etc.
