Light mechs in their current form always turn every match into a twitch fest whoever has fastest reflexes and best ping time wins.

Let's create a game mode to bring back some of the traditional battletech feel. Big slow lumbering beasts trading shots and ripping armor off chunk by chunk. Not the current situation of 3 seconds of frantically trying to hunt down the tiny little pixel dashing all over the screen before it eats you alive with 20 machine guns! wtf?!

I propose a game mode without any lights and only 6v6 teams. Why 6v6? Because the first part of a 12v12 match is whoever reaches 6 first usually wins. So lets skip that part and make it the fun part instead. The 6v6 midgame is where the action is. Even if you lose 2-3 team mates early you can still make a comeback, unlike the current 12v12 where the first team to reach 50% margin usually wins. 6v6 is tighter grouping, closer knit teams, better coordination. 2-3 person lances, etc.

The action in this game mode should be slower paced, harder hitting, you will survive more shots from only 6 mechs instead of 12. The matches should last longer, better tactics, overall - more fun!


Added bonus: Set up some repair points on the map that if you stand on them you repair structure and armor BUT NOT limbs or disabled weapons. Also, it reloads your ammo.

This is a great idea! Let's do this.
