Because I'm tired of watching people run into a one-sided furball without any attempt at coordination or planning, get into fair or one sided fights (you NEVER get into a fair fight in warfare), and then die.

While I'm off trying to win on caps.

Please, just set all the accounts to Assault by default. The rest of us can go set it to Conquest or mix at our choice, and limit contact with people who aren't going to even try to work at anything more than RAWR SHOT ROBITS.

But.. there is only team deathmatch, what is this assault or conquest you speak of?

Can people stop thinking rationally, it hurts my brain!!!

[marlyy]

no, just reduce overall captime.

who needs deathmatch, king of the hill ( domination with one spot ) or defend/attack basemode when we got capquest oder capsault.

Nothing is more frustrating for a real mechwarrior than loosing match to capwarriors. Really this game is about combat. Capping should give some tactical advantage, but shouldn't be a way to win.
This is my statement as a former capwarrior.
Be a Man, be a Mechwarrior.

[That Dawg]

I always type in frustration "IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT, CAP"
Now, I have used cap warrior when I'm last man standing and there is no way I'm killing EIGHT mechs in my spider
And I do hit the cap to try and pull their team, or split them if we start getting tilted, but I dont haul *** to the base and start capping to avoid the fight.....or I run...whats that game called.......oh, yeah, "conquest"

[Dude42]

Agreed OP, there's nothing worse than hitting the Launch button and realizing you forgot to select assault.

[marlyy]

had a game on frozen city after 2 and a half min capped by 4 quickdraws and a raven ...

in other games there are AT LEAST caplimits like not more then 3 can cap.

u gota think about this or at least make some damn base defenses like a shield with generator or with turrents just to make it harder to cap . ( imagine 2 lights running frozen city trought cave into base and gets ssrms and gauss turrents to play with, while they manage to get them down after 1 min , one of the lights died . and then u hear "base is beeing captured" but it goes slowly......

could also be usefull if u are the last mech and u need support *dont cap run to base!* haha

But how would you know?

It seems like most players only have assaults anyway. Oh, and quickdraws!

I remember a game in Forest Colony from last night. One of our lances peeled off to draw the enemy and engage them close to the wreck. The other quietly went through the tunnel and prepared to cap. Once battle had commenced and the whole enemy team was occupied, the positioned lance capped.

The enemy team was PISSED!

All I'm hearing in this thread is.. " I only play assaults, I have no tactical skills, how come lights get to have a purpose?"
Seriously... don't want your base capped? leave someone defending it... it's not like you don't all make your line and then just wait for the opponents to move into your LOS anyways... :/

The last time I checked, there is no such thing as a "real" mechwarrior.

You apparently haven't seen me play my lights. Any of them. I will crush you and the Steiner Scout Lance you rolled in with. In Assault Mode. I won't even mention what I can do if you give me a medium. Cap rushing is for people who have no confidence in their own combat abilities imho.

We're talking about the game mode, not the weight class. And I would like the game mode to default to Assault.

If the game actually required, as the win conditions state "Capture enemy base" AND "Destroy all enemy mechs", then Assault would be okay.

Read the rules on the two load screens the next time you drop into a match. The other set, simply entitled "Rules:" says the same conditions are necessary.

Not one or the other.

Both.
