Greetings MechWarriors!

This weekend it's time for another Medium Mech Madness! This is your chance to take your skills to the Battlefield and dig out that Medium Mech you've been neglecting.

From Friday February 28 at 10:00am PST until Sunday March 2 at 11:59pm PST, compete against your fellow MechWarriors for a chance to win glory and MC prize packages!

Opt-in on our website, then win the challenge by getting the best 10 matches over the contest time period. 1-5th place winners will be awarded MC for select Medium Mech chassis and overall weight categories (Light, Heavy, Assault). Players must drop as a single player (games where you drop as a team will not count towards your top 10 matches).

Yarg, you're lucky this is deflecting heat off the real issues.

Also, I know the Wolverine is not represented because only the Saber Pack purchasers benefit.

It would actually make sense to release Wolverines and add them to the tourney... as there's no real restrictions outside of simply "enabling them" (and putting the correct value in C-bills/MC for them).

It feels odd that one mech isn't represented...

There are of course reasons why Mediums are being neglected and have been the least played role since the inception of MWO.

But not to begrudge the potential fun for pilots with the tourney of course.

I dislike this tournament setup. It should be the FIRST ten matches, or a set amount, a round robin or a bracket system.... anything but this horrible best 10 matches thing. This tournament caters to people who have lots of time to play. *cough*Koreanease*cough* The more matches you rack you the better chance you have at winning. I think its time for a different tournament setup.

Also, your score formula is wrong: Kills × 20 + Kill Assist × 10 + (Damage Done – Team Damage) ÷ 15 + Wins × ###+ Loss × 10 + Survive × 20 + Dead × 10

Edit: Atleast that got fixed...

Opinions, are like belly buttons ...... That said, I enjoy them, even though I'm not anything near a "good" player. Much less steam rolling going on, as the team players are all in solo queue.

Well, the biggest issues are:
- solo dropping vs premades
- solo dropping in a medium vs lots of assaults
- heavy/assault winners getting the same prices will lead to a lot of "griefing" by "meta-highlander" and "meta-phract" players killing all of the medium players with ease and ruining the whole weekend.

I don't even care how I do. I'm just looking forward to seeing some of you puttering around in hunchbacks.

I can't beat the Hunchback King with that. Now I have to plot.

I'm a bit confused. I don't have to run as a medium mech to take part in the tourney? Sorry, I haven't opted into any of the previous tournaments.

Regardless, if that means more mediums running around, I'm all for it. I miss seeing Hunchbacks.

Awesome! I just trashed my Elo for lights while playing a Locust. The Jenner should kick some ass now (and by kicking ass I mean, murder trial stalkers)

Each medium chassis is it's own tournament class, plus one class for all heavies, one for all lights, and one for all assaults.

I dunno if class is the right word but I hope that made sense
