Wonder if there is any plan to implement the Solaris combat contests? It might be a good training type excercise. Rewards could be for 1-3rd place and if one player gets 4 wins in a given weight class then he cannot enter that class again. To prevent mining for cred.

Well, we don't know, but hope devs will include it later on.

Also, it could serve as a really great competition, making it only tutorial is a waste of potential.

Solaris and the Community Warfare pillar seem to belong together. This planet is easily as important for ladders, leagues and E-Sports as is Outreach for Mercenaries. I know I spent major time on MW4's version of Solaris and it's definitely the place to change gears and get a whole new experience. I could easily see myself buying in and enjoy the game from a completely new angle. It's just awesome =)

i would really like to see a solaris in this. i also spent a lot of time there in MW4. it was a good way to try out new variants. setting it up something like the free battles in chromehounds or something like that would be neat. it'd be a nice way to battle and get practice in a nice casual environment.

thumbs up for solaris jungle/factory/colloseum

For sure Solaris will come. It's a big part of the lore and it fits perfectly with an online pvp style game.

If they start multiple servers could they have a competition for each server? Then the top players from each server compete for a global title? EPIC!

Do I hear Grand Chamionship each year at the E3? Sold!

Boreal Reach

The Davion arena uses holographic technology, coupled with advanced environmental controls, to produce virtually any setting a person can conceive of. It takes its name from one of the more popular such settings, a polar glacier. The arctic environment provides challenging footing, while enabling MechWarriors the push their 'Mechs to the limit, thanks to the extreme cold.

The Factory

The Marik battlefield began its life as a shuttle manufacturing plant large enough to accommodate IndustrialMechs. The decrepit facility features multiple levels with elevators and ramps to move between them.

Ishiyama

The Kurita area is actually a series of tunnels dug into a man-made mountain. Stone Mountain provides a hide-and-seek style engagement. There is also electromagnetic interference from the materials that the mountain is made of, making any fight here unpredictable. The "mountain" was built in 3007 in Kobe District.

The Jungle

This parcel of land was originally planned as a Buddhist monastery, but the Liao government decided to designate it as their official "arena." The battle area in this open tract is demarcated by a series of beacons. Extra beacons located inside the battlefield can be activated to shrink the area of the field down to a quarter of its full size.

Steiner Coliseum

The arena in Silesia was designed with a Roman-esque facade. The battlefield of the arena is largely featureless, utilizing walls that can be raised or lowered to provide variety.



As you can see Jungle, Factory and Coloseum are not the only major arenas out there.
Besides these five, you also have tons of others, but this is a good beginning, if (read: when) the mode gets added.

Great way to include duels, leagues and more. I like the idea, but definitely looking forward to the community warfare model more

Ladders for 1vs1 maches
Clan ladders for 4vs4 or larger
Live feeds, MLG pro ( i wish)

If they can balance chassies and weapons good enough it can be huge.
If not it will be booring 1 chassis with one loadout to win...

Hi,

I also wanted to ask about the Solaris implementation as a game mode.
There someone can get one his own mechs and by winning also change its hole structure as it was mentioned in one of the books I think, and bring it back in the standard game (with some high pricing on this of course).
...and as a good practicing ground it would also help new players, and well the bit-elite could also have a lot of fun with the fresh baits (new players).
