Another match and another cap race, one team goes one way the other goes the other and never a shot is fired, BORING BORING BORING. I come here to fight, to pit my skills against the cream of mechwarriors but no, over and over again we are subject to those who just want to cap the base and be done.This is mechWARRIOR not mechcap

Devs, PLEASE either take the cap out of the assault mode or make a cap the flag mode. Yes i'm having a ***** but there are those who agree, just have to watch the ingame chat.

Defend Le base, Camp in Le base, Set up trap in Le base.

why? because tactics.

There needs to be a mechanic that will allow someone to break a stalemate, or end the game if someone decides to go hide.

So your whole team goes one way in an attempt to cap the other's base, but you "came here to fight"?

Bovine manure.

If you don't want to be capped, defend your base. Send scouts out. Find out where the enemy is and go there.

If you get capped it's your own damn fault.

I second that!

Cause there are still lone greifers who save there little statty statty's by shutting down in a corner and wasting our time. Thank god for a cap mode.

used to be you could pull up the map and rat that **** out... *sigh* i have zero respect for a dude who goes and shuts down somewhere. just a little tip to anyone who does that, you are so not cool. either go for the flag or go for the kill in a ball of fire. it's just a video game and your KDR means nothing to anyone.

@ OP, anyone who'se spent a little time in these forums should come to the conclusion that the "community" and i use that word loosely has agreed that "assault" as it is now is a fine mode, yet additional modes are desired.

different modes would mean a lot if winning maps, capturing worlds, clans, clan victories... meant something.... but as it is we all probably go, "Eh i'll take my light or medium and play some conquest." or "Eh i'll launch my atlas and go do an assault round."

[Brimgath]

Personally I think that if you are going to leave base capping in assault you should have it active if you have done 50% or more casualty to the opponents team. If you haven't met this requirement the base shoots at you. This way you avoid the zerg to cap and the lone mech running off and shutting down somewhere.

[Daikyu Kell]

Make so the cap is active after 10 minutes on the clock, just need to modify it so those who just rush off and cap can't.

I know there are tactics involved with things like stepping on the base to draw attedntion and the like and as for setting an ambush yea all well and good in a premade but how many PUG teams actually work together, occaisionally but not that often.

You "Claim" to come here to fight the cream of MechWarriors. But yet you run from them. You RUN out of YOUR base to AVOID fighting the ones capping it.

Sorry, I don't feel like Chasing YOU all over the map because YOU decided to play the coward and RAN away. Best for me or anyone else who caps to hurry up, cap, win, and move on to another match where hopefully the real top cream MechWarriors will actually fight and Defend their base, instead of Running Away.

That's true, but the current base cap mechanic in assault is awful.

that;'s true but the current assault mech, sniper, poptart meta is awful.

so yeah we cap, and will continue to cap, and will continue to recruit people to cap exclusively.

If the current meta can stop us they are welcome to try but honestly most hilarious thing i've seen is 15+ people sync dropping in the fastest mechs they own with the specific purpose of capping as quickly as possible to prevent any assault mechs from getting a decent score.

hilarious!

When your team has a wall of snipers in position X...

**** it I'm taking your base.

If we have no base then what exactly are we going Assault?

[Alymbic]

Now, as much as I enjoy a new and improved base cap thread, I urge you to look over these other ones and see if you have contributed any more than they have.

http://mwomercs.com/search?q=Base+cap

I’m sure you’ll find quite a few threads from the last couple of weeks alone.

Oh, and think about this. If they do remove base caps, I hope you enjoy playing hunt the ecm light.

What you want is a Deathmatch mode - there´s no reason to change the assault mode atm.

DM would only work on mini maps aka solaris arenas imho.
