Would be nice if folks could choose to drop in 4v4, 8v8, or 12v12 queues.

If they made a custom game option we'd get 1v1, 4v4, 8v8, 12v12 vs specific opponents!!! WOW what an idea I've came up with, would you believe that! I'm gonna post it in feedback right away!

I agree, I'd like to see a return of 8 man too, it seems individual skill and a clever loadout would help turn the tide more when it was 8 man, which was something I kind of liked about having 8 man, maybe it is a bit selfish to seem be wanting that but, 8 man seemed like a good balance of skill, tactics and strategy, where as in 12 vs 12s its more about your team's strategy mech tonnage ect., It is also a lot harder to actually turn the tide of a match going bad real fast, which is why I sort of miss having 8 man, your own contribution to the team could turn the tide more noticeably, there were alot more neck and neck games were each team only had 1-3 mechs left, the matches felt very intense more often because of that.

It is something I do quite miss, I'd also like to see a separate que for 8 vs 8 and 12 vs 12 ect.

We currently are getting 12 vs. 11/10 often; perhaps some type of PGI countdown to 8 vs. 8?

Heh, I would expand that to 1v1, 2v2, ect. all the way up if you got the ppl. Definitely need the 4-11 man group drops included.

8V8 would be great for forest colony otherwise I don't see why you'd want fewer mechs on the map.

Hardly enough said.

How does that even remotely make sense in a game that is designed for Company on Company level combat?

Please, if you're going to make ridiculous statements, provide a reason for your hare-brained idea.

8v8 would be great on some maps. I seem to remember Alpine being TERRIBLE as an 8 v 8 map.

Simply making 12v12 isn't really the same as "designed for company level combat".

are you talking about 8man teams? Or 8v8?


If your talking about teams...
Yes please. as long as it was set up like the 12v12 queue and pulled the remaining 4 from 2/2mans or a 4 man. Or gave puggs the option to fill in the blanks.

Do you really think it would be fair for a pug team with maybe one 4 man to go against a team with an 8 man and one 4 man. Or an 8 man and 2 2 mans?

People seem to forget the mores queues you have the more you split the player base wich leads to an ever bigger challenge to the matchmaker.

So the more queues the worst the matchmaking is going to be and waiting time would probably increase.
