2) Bases are a requirement in order to force an end to the match unfortunately. I have had several matches where finding the last mech on the other team would have taken much longer than simply capping tjem out. Especially when they decide to intentionally power down in some corner of the map.

This isn't a problem in arena maps.

I´d say, as far as i can say: Majority in MWo wants 1. Mode without bases 2. wants Arenas like in earlier mw titles

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

I was not in closed beta. I had not realized they removed arena mode from MWO.

Edit: That closed beta video looks like you have your video settings in low. Time to upgrade your machine.

i think the OP is preaching to the choir here.

we're all pretty much in agreement that we'd like more modes, one of them being where the objective is last man standing.

Then why are you demanding for it to be given back when it was never given in the first place. This MWO not MW4.

Edited for word usage as ask implies a request while give implies a demand.

Biased poll is l0ltastitc.

[DrSecretStache]

This poll has been done before. It also didn't have a no option. Sigh.

Look, arena is going to come, eventually. Just not right now. Nothing we can do, aside from throwing money at them and joining their team, can change that.

And you would garner more support from people if you were more respectful. Telling people off for pointing things out to you isn't helping.

Cuz this game is a battle tech MW title with different devs. Almost same mechs same weps. at least 50% of the founders used to play mw titles earlier if not played TT.

Oh I know where it came from, I am one of those players. It is just that as this has not been a feature in this particular title it is a bit impossible to give back what never was for this game. I was pointing out a usage error that made the OP and you by extension for supporting the original statement sound rather silly.

Here we go you guys need to call names once you have no argues. Well this game is moar for Battle tech fans than usual players. Moar then 50% of the recently playing players here played any mw title so many peps should know what an arena is. Due to this game is called mech warrior (online) and not mechwarOnline or anything else its in a "line" with ealier MW titles. Thats why people expect at least same mechs with same names. Do you still not see it? Alright then get ya butt outta here and stop trolling

The thread title makes it sound like it was taken away from you at some point by PGI.

If you see pointing out how something reads as a personal insult, ok, sure.

Back to the topic shall we? While I personally believe that a TDM or FFA mode are not necessary, until the devs out right state "No" it is a possibility and even then. I have always found TDM of any kind to be less than interesting because so little thinking goes into it beyond "how am I going to kill the other guy?" Is it too much to ask for actually interesting objectives. Hey I understand TDM in maybe the context of CW. Destroy the defenders or attackers of your objective can be a pretty big deal, but that can be accomplished in more creative ways, like sacking the opposition's base of operations (see base capture); or cutting a supply or reinforcement route (see base capture). I like to think beyond the fight and to the why of the fight and imagine scenarios. Gives the game more depth. Yes there are times when you want to completely destroy the opposition, but there are usually good strategic or tactical reasons for doing so.
As pointed out by many, the last 'Mech might just decide to run the clock out if they do not feel they can win as a spoilsport option. Funny enough, being able to capture a base removes that option much of the time. Do you want your 'Mech locked in a match for a full 15 min, because someone decided if they cannot win, no one can? I do not. TDM does not encourage a fight, it encourages one to survive if victory is not an option. No epic last stands, no come from behind surprise victories. The reward is simply not there for the risk.

Dude its a mode outta at least 3 (many other modes will be implement soon ) If ya dont want to play Arena Modes then play conquest. The Arena Time should be 6-10 Minutes. Lets consider 2 guys from different teams left- 1v1. Once anyone decides to run out the clock ,the total Team made dmg should decide the winning team. Time ran out-

1. Team 3200 dmg

2. Team 3450. The second Team should win.

Then no one would tend to make run out the clock.

This is just a simple example how it could be. Devs could make it differnt. At least you guys could Brain Storm here your Ideas.
