Retrieval

In this game mode there is a pod, randomly inserted in the game somewhere, that must be retrieved. The first 'Mech to walk over the Pod gets it. Anyone who kills that 'Mech gets the Pod. When the game ends, the team with the Pod is the victor. (Or defeat all the enemy mechs.)

- The pod has a locater beacon, so anyone with the pod appears on everyone's radar. They can't hide.
- You could either get the pod, no matter how far away you are, when you make a kill, or it would drop on the ground.
- The POD might slow down light 'Mechs to avoid the constant grab-and-dash play style.
- Active Probes and similar gear will better help find the POD.


Best of Three

When you begin this game mode, you are shown 3 maps, and select a different 'Mech for each map. You arrive at the first map, randomly chosen from the three, with the 'Mech you selected. Then all the same players move to the second map, randomly chosen from the remaining two. If the same team wins the first two games, there is no third game, otherwise you play on the third map.

- The games might be shorter than normal, say half the normal time, to discourage drop-outs.

Sounds like a nice game option. Having the pod drop so another player would get it. Last one holding the bag wins.
