Just saw the launch trailer. Should we be expecting 30 vs 30 matches somewhere down the line?

I think that was a preview of things too come, and I like it. If UI 2.0 means this could happen, I'm all in.

I saw the trailer, looked like a bunch of unorganized clown mechs with idiotic paint jobs. You can sure tell which are PGIs pet mechs.

no... ugh, you guys really are unbelievable. The trailer was made by getting a 12 vs 12 sync drop and they used those players to make the video. The reason you see 20-24 mechs on screen is because they decided not to shoot each other for the filming of the video.

No. 12v12 is the most we will see per match for the foreseeable future.

Awww comments are disabled for the launch video, bukbuk bukkaw!

As much fun as it would be to see that many mechs plowing into each other doing more harm to their own team then the enemy, im pretty sure most current pcs would have issues with sixty mecsh lobbing hundreds and hundreds of LRMS through the air then 20-30 AMS start shooting at them.

Celestial editted and filmed the video, and the Remnant were the folks dropping in a lot of those.

To get that effect, we got each team on one side and had them walk together as though they were one team.

Nice to see PGI went to the expert mech film editor thats been showing them up for the past year ;D

Well, people dont know that.

I would like to have 20v20 or 24v24 very much! I think it would be a blast. Fun. Nothing else matters.

24 v 24 would be Grand but lets get more pressing issues resolved first.


I supose it should be 36v36 ie battalion v battalion but that would have to be an epic sized map with objects beyond "Kill all Mechs"

It's 11 mechs on each side attacking the 2 opposing spiders circling each other, ignoring all other targets no matter how badly crit their rear CT is.

In other words, it's a perfectly accurate representation of the current game state.

if it was 30 v 30, just think what they would reduce the cbill rewards to.

[bloodnor]

Eons ago there was talk of even 64 v 64 recreating canon timelines and battles for community warfare. only time will tell

Nope.

That was setup by making all 24 plaers of a 12v12 match run down that hill facing the same way.

Anyhow I think PGI alread stated that 12v12 will be the max as they probably won't be able to keep things stable and playable with more stuff going in game.

But the most important reason why we will not see 30 vs 30: 30 is not a multiple of 4.
