It's a good thing. I mean, last weekend was Double XP. This one nothing. Helps recover some 'fatigue' from overplaying.

Some online games in the past actually scheduled events every 2 weeks to give players a rest. The stuff they did in between was light and no taxing.

FRIENDLY FIRE FEEDING FRENZY WEEKEND!!

THAT'S RIGHT, MECHWARRIORS! TO CONTINUE WITH THE WEEKEND CHALLENGES THAT FOSTER POOR GAMEPLAY, WE'RE IMPLEMENTING FRIENDLY FIRE FEEDING FRENZY WEEKEND. TEAR UP THOSE BLUE TRIANGLES FOR FUN AND PRIZES! FOR EVERY 1 POINT OF DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR TEAMMATES, YOU WILL RECEIVE A BONUS OF 1 CBILL. THAT BONUS IS DOUBLED IF YOU ARE ZOOMED IN WHEN YOU DO IT.

I got a chuckle out of this, however it's not really fair to blame PGI for brainless Pugs with zero tactical ability or awareness. Those pugs were going to try and shoot through friendlies regardless of any ongoing weekend challenge.

One of Hathcock's most famous accomplishments was shooting an enemy sniper through the enemy's own rifle scope, hitting him in the eye and killing him

Honestly, there should have been something even if it is minor. Finding myself without alot of motivation to play this weekend to be honest mostly because there is no extra incentive.

Now don't get me wrong, I think many of the challenges we have had have been poorly executed requiring too my grind (Victor challenge for example) but having some basic little, minor things going on is kind of important. Perhaps something like adding 2-3 small challenges like play 10 matches earn 100k (repeatable), 3x XP first win, etc. This would have gone a long way to make the weekend interesting without requiring a mind numbing grind.

The event is called "Stand In front of the Atlas so he can't shoot, then lambaste him for doing low damage."

Excuse me, I have some PUGs to muderize.

BLAME THE TEAM CHALLENGE!

Take a screenshot for each time you blame the team for losing or for your own death/low score/other random failure. Post these screenshots in individual threads in general discussion.

The players who can spam 20+ threads like this win a standing epenis cockpit item. The 10 players with most threads win a "angry german kid" warhorn that plays when they die.
