You know what happens whenever you have five or six people playing? You wind up hating this game. It's totally arbitrary. It's not like the myriad of co-op games that ONLY support four players. There are eight players per team. We should be able to use up to that amount for a drop so that we don't have to split a group of friends up into two separate groups for no reason.

It's incredibly stupid.

On the other hand, you'd get teamed up with OMGWTF 8 mans that will focus fire alpha strike you and your buddies into the dirt!

Besides, the true hardcore mechwarriors (the ones who have managed to grind up billions despite how boring the game has become) don't HAVE any friends...

5-6 people vs 8 organized is likely to be one sided... for the 8 man
5-6 people vs all pugs is likely to be one sided... for the 5-6 people
5-6 people vs 4man/4pugs is less likely to be one sided... for the 5-6 people
5-6 people vs two separate 4man groups are potentially much less likely for it to be one sided... for the 5-6 people

HOO EVER...

12v12 is coming. That means more potential match making options..
you might be able to do 6man + pugs vs two separate 4 man groups + pugs.

Incredibly stupid thread. We all know 12vs12 is coming soon. However, a Lance is made of 4 pilots. Don't like it? Don't play it. If you wind up hating this game, you speak for yourself. You know, other people are not like you.

Metafox: Do you have any future plans to accommodate groups of 5+ players who want to play together but are unable to fill a full 12-man?
A: Yes. We’re getting close to feeling confident in the matchmaker, which is the sole reason for not allowing it currently.
