This has probably been tossed out there before, but I rarely look at the boards, so sorry if it's redundant.
Back when MW3 was online, it was nice to be able to create a room for a specific kind of battle. It was cool to have a battle that didn't require heatsinks or had rules for how that battle was to be fought. I know that the chat room set up for getting into a battle isn't going to happen, but at least it would be nice to have an option that had no lrms for that battle, kind of like how we can choose conquest, assault or skirmish. Maybe assault or just skirmish would work best for no lrms, possibly shorter game timeouts to, just in case it's just a light and an assault/heavy left in the fight.
I don't mean to make this a piss & moan thread about lrms (I will still play my boat on rare occasion) but I think it would be cool to have the option.

Zone style lobby. CZ style league. Bidding games.

You give an option to disable one type of weapon, you should add one for each type otherwise it becomes unfair.

Honestly, I don't see LRMs as overpowered as people say they are.
The reason that you might feel like you're being hammered more is because you probs got narced.


Good positioning, AMS and ECM counters LRMs so easily.]


This past week I've seen too many LRM posts.

This sought of thing isn't going to happen on public play. It's right up there with why Clan VS IS isn't going to work as a separate queue. Divide up the connecting players, and you're going to have problems.

Frankly, I can see this only working in private play, and even then you're probably going to manually set up a game with friends. So I don't see the point, honestly.

Can i have a mode without ppcs then?

[Ironhippie]

I think you guys are right, in order to have anything like a no lrm battle or no ppc battle, a private way of organizing those kind of fights would be needed.
https://mwolobby.com/ looks promising, I'll set up an account and check it out in more detail. Thanks for the heads up Chicken Kn.

(edit*) And yes, I agree with positioning, ecm, etc.. but I mainly pug, and when most of your team gets eaten up by lerms and you are one of the few on your team who actually thought ahead enough to get in a good part of the terrain and position decently, It still makes for a boring fight because it's now 12 vs 3.

Private matches. Your wish is already granted.

[Ironhippie]

You're right, I should probably find a team/clan and do private matches. I think the https://mwolobby.com/ I just found out about will help. Not sure what kind of time commitement I have for a team, but something organized would help.

many teams don't have time requirements. You may find one you like easier than you think.
