problem with putting it into public matches would be it will have to be a open weight class and you know everybody wants to bring that direwolf or timberwolf ;)

true but just do it anyhow, i think you'd see some interesting mechs taken in an FFA situation

For the new and selective memory folk around here. PGI already said time and time again. They will NEVER do a FFA game mode.

The more modes, the less balanced matchmaker gets in the main game (solo queue and less than 12 queues).

You mean like they will NEVER do
coolant flush
3pv
clans before cw?
for the new and selective memory folk around here :D

plus, they have specifically stated on twitter, that they like the idea of a Solaris type mode for just this type of thing.

That's fine by me. I'll let them blow the limbs off each other while I patiently wait and kill the last surviving and heavily damaged opponent for the win. <maniacal :D ;) :(>

Fast forward to 2016:
PGI: "Buy our new Solaris package, only $500 to play in Solaris with special Solaris mechs."
Fans: "But you said there would never be FFA game mode!"
PGI: "That was our position at the time." :D

They'll do anything if there's enough money in it, at any given time. What they've said in the past is completely irrelevant, at all times.
