I think a Solaris style arena would be well received. Certainly I'd like it.

by which time they hope to have a workable Melee Combat system in place...

Another one to add to the "Things PGI said they would not do but have gone back on" list.


Please dont expect an arena or team deathmatch any time soon. Do you have any idea on how many players just want a simple team deathmatch? Yet they still force cap the base-the-base on both game modes..

Since you all get capped -loos or even win without shooting once, i would like to see the old Arena Modes in MWO. In Those GAme modes you didnt have any Base.

Mainly it was moar a death match but PGI could implement it as an TEAM v TEam Arena Mode.

For ALL Those peps who dunno the ARena , heres the LINK

Even thou creating Arena maps could be very easy compared to all the other maps.

Feel free to express your opinon bout the a Mode without Bases

First, your pool is malicious.

People should understand that if there aren't bases, a team with faster mechs and a starting advantage (let's say, 1 kill) could avoid combat until the time is out - and win.

I would love Arena maps - small maps made for "deathmatch" or team deathmatch". But the currents maps are not made for this.

I´d say you didnt understand my hole post. I want a new game Mode + new maps ( i said earlier: Even thou creating Arena maps could be very easy compared to all the other maps.)

BTW avoiding combat in an Arena Map isnt possible.lol

I find your poll biased and your assumptions poor OP. I have seen several matches devolve into cap races because the last two 'Mechs alive either had all their weapons destroyed or ran out of ammo and killing through collisions was not really an option. On the flip side I have been that one 'Mech that goes back and defends base until my side has won the cap race. But you know if no one is willing to go and check to see if they went in the opposite direction your team did, while I can understand your frustration, it is a failing of the team as a whole.

MWO is a team based game at its core and in team play some times victory requires sacrifice. Is it frustrating to get capped certainly, but in a straight up fight it provides what is potentially the losing side a viable means of winning. If they want to rush your base to end the game from the beginning then do something about it instead of "It's my teammates problem," or "I hate base rushers." It can actually be a rather clever tactic if you spring an ambush on other teams base. I have also played on teams heavy in light 'Mechs where we rushed cap, took it down to about 1% just in case and then went on a rampage though a very confused and disoriented team and if things had gone south (they did not, we won 8-2 if I recall) we had a really good fall back option. Not being creative enough to use the cap to tactical advantage instead of just straight up short path to victory is not a short coming of the game mode, it is a short coming of the player. If you are willing to think outside the box a little, Assault becomes an extremely tactical and calculating game of TDM.

[MuKen]

Why even make a poll if you're going to put biases into the options?

This is coming from someone who agrees with you, but because your poll is so intellectually bankrupt I can't in good conscience back you here. Please never post in favor of my side of anything again. I feel dirtier for being represented by you.

A 16 mech death match sounds interesting but i think people would just use a light to aviod fighting then pick off the last mech standing

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

As it turns out PGI has said they want to do a Solaris VII content update, and that such an update would be a likely time for them to add hand-to-hand combat. I could see the Axeman coming out with the Solaris update. I'd assume that such an update would include specific Solaris arena maps.

I also assume all this will happen well after both Community Warfare and the Clans have been added, so don't hold your breath.

As for regular game modes without capturing bases, I could see it working but you'd have to do something either to prevent a lone surviving light from forcing a boring draw by hiding all match or you'd have to give said light some realistic chance at pulling a win. Currently capturing deals with both problems.

mw4 mgs were op!!!!!!!!!

[Teir Dasande]

I like the current game modes. But I would be very happy to see arena type matches, for 1v1 and 2v2 games. And free for alls. That, would be awesome. And you poll sucks.

[KinLuu]

Arena mode for FFA.
Objective based mode for Team vs. Team.

[Jonathan Paine]

I want Solaris style combat. And I want my socks!

[The Councilor]

Personally for this to work they would have to do it the way they did it in Mw4 Mercs, create a light, medium, heavy, and assault circuit (all arena maps but specifically allow only mechs in that class) and there you go. Make it so there is reasonable cover but not so much that one person can go a whole match and win via powering down.

Yep, and thats why Deathmatch is a bad idea. It was ****** up in MW4 and it would be the same lame thing in MWO.

NOPE, iam pretty happy with MWO but need a Mode without BAses.

I dont want to be able to respawn.

Srsly stop advertising other games here.


EDIT: BTW What is in line with MWO? Just the case that theresnt a base makes it not in line with MWO? I mean i already said in opening post that i still wish a team V team Arena MOde

Advertising would assume I'm getting something out of it. Which I am not. Well unless getting rid of a player who I feel is undesirable counts then maybe, but I bet it doesn't.

Go check the command chair posts since November at least. I'm not going to dredge all that up for you. I gave you an alternative to play and you didn't take it, so thats all I'm doing for you.
