Just thinking about the yays and nays for 3rd person view and PGI's belief that TDM would split the player base.

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

I dont get the hate for TDM... its a player mode, if you dont like it, DONT FRAKKING PLAY IT
Like Assault, if you dont like conquest, pick assault only. Why is this so intellectually challenging?

[Deathlike]

TD on its own probably won't bother me.. I just hate the people demanding for it, because they will be making different qq here similar to that of Assault. They just don't realize there will be flaws unless they think hard and long on how to address it.

3rd person only bothers me when it is imbalanced vs 1st person. MW4 has taught me that. 3rd person by itself is not an imbalance... just aspects of it that gives the player more advantages is a problem.

Flaws? All they would reasonably have to do is take assault, remove the bases and leave the timer.

The lone light mech hiding from four or five enemies is not going to win by hiding for the last few minutes so whatever.

I did post elsewhere that Assault would be a preferred mode IF they had a Dropship that can defend itself as the Base vice the current deadly drill platform. I can adjust the poll to reflect that.

Big maps like Alpine would not make that assessment true. What if you had just 2 mechs (or just 1) left trying to find the solo mech hiding? It only takes 1 guy to screw things for everyone else.

again... if you dont like it; dont play it. problem solved!

I like the idea of TDM, what about a strictly attrition game mode, I do believe MW 4 had it and I found it to be quite fun.

Thoughts/Concerns?

[Dreamslave]

Team Death Match in an arena style settings sounds good to me. Don't make it completely flat, but make the terrain so Lights can't just run around willy-nilly keeping the timer running when the match is clearly lost.

[Satarosun]

I'd like both TDM and 3rd person, here's why.
1: TDM is a classic, so why not? it's simple, kill, and kill. that's it. Can't complain about much.
My view on 3rd person, I don't care who uses it, and i don't care who leaves because of it. I'm not going to leave because I like the idea that i can pilot giant F'n robots.

Assault would be fine IF they had some automated turrets or dropship guarding the area, don't give them profusely powerful weapons, but enough to deter the enemy team if they get too close. Still give it the option of capturing a base.

But I think TDM would be a nice addition.

By the Way, TDM wouldn't have an endless match, that's what a time limit is for... it would be stupid to not put that in the mechanic.

TDM works on small maps not on big maps where you end in a cat and mouse situation wasting your time chasing some troll or bad loser.

Got a link for that?

But see... people WANT this, and will PLAY this... and then will QQ over this.

I don't care, I'll play it and see others whine about it... delicious QQ.

[DarkDevilDancer]

I think base captures in assault is getting abused alot of late, too many actively avoid combat just to cap.

the speed one mech caps it is fine but as additional mechs join the first there should be some diminishing returns, people should not get rewarded for running away instead of fighting.

[Appogee]

Give us something useful like a Mech Repair Bay to fight over.

(Hell there's one the Alpine Mountains just sitting there - free Atlas to whomever wins it!)

[NocturnalBeast]

This poll is redundant, but I voted anyway, because I am strongly for TDM and strongly against 3PV.

[l4Dl]

I'am all up for 3rd person view. Think about it, its a win win:
- Completely ignore founders, who funded the game
- Get more players in
- Turn Mechwarrior into "Casual Warrior"!

Its a win, win situation!

[Tetatae Squawkins]

Checkbox.

[LordBraxton]

Where is the option, no these things are all bad and I would be upset if they were to be included at all?

It's not that, Its the balancing issue. Know how on assault/conquest there was that one dude that powered down at the edge of the map that you never could find or that one light you could never catch? You would just out cap them and be done with it. With no cap could you imagine spending 10-20 minutes on Alpine peaks looking for a powered down mech? Or a light that always outpaces you so you would get tired of chasing it and not be able to catch it and your team would quit? I would be all for it if it wasn't for this, but sadly this is a problem so atm no it shouldn't be implemented as of now.
