As the subject says... there is an ability to pick the game mode you want to play before you click "play"... if you don't like base caps, don't pick assault in that selection...

Unfortuinately, people in general prefer whining to thinking before acting, because it`s easier to repeat

People still whine about base capping?

Wait ... people still base cap at all?

Lol

People still cap bases on Assault?

I like Conquest, it has a tendency to spread the lances out and requires more thought than simply death matching. It removes the ability of either side to simply stand around playing peek-a-boo taking pot shots and throwing missiles at each other.

This thread is new and refreshing and will probably change a lot in the world of MWO.



Maybe this will help.

I remember those base thingies.. I hated those base thingies.

Bah, I'm sure that's covered in the tutorial.

I mean, once you finish your first 25 Cadet Rounds, you're considered an "expert," right?

Haven't played Conquest since the persistent switch was added. Not a good mode for grinding cash.

There is now a tiny little arrow next to the launch button. You have to click that to select your game mode.

The upshot is that it now saves your preference for the next time you play. It also eliminates a click from UI 2.0: The Clickening.

I love it when caps happen on Assault. Anything to break the monotony of Skirmish, Skirmish with Turrets, and Lights Run Around For 3 Minutes, Then Skirmish.

The other day the teams were circling each other and we weren't in a great position, but we were sort of near their base, just staying outside turret range. So I was like, "We could just cap." So we stomped their turrets and stepped on the base. Suddenly the fight was on our terms.

Conquest would pay out more if people understood that in that game mode, points pay more than kills.

Also, who cares about the c-bill payout, anyway? Why so eager to run the mech-mastering treadmill?
