I appeal to everyone who plays in Faction warfare to get in the spirit of this wonderful game mode! As most of you know at some point in the game when attackers runs out of mechs and the defenders are winning (or vice versa), most of the time the winning team will group up and Team kill (Use the R word in most case) the remaining adversaries. All good fun!

I propose something a lot more fun! In the spirit of this vast and wonderful universe that is Battletech (Mechwarrior). When the game is at the end, when pilots are left alone (or in small numbers 2-3) respect them if they call for a single combat (or duels)! Everyone who is left in the battlefield (attacker and defenders) should respect that challenge, gather in an open neutral area and fight it off 1 versus 1 until all attacker or defenders are dead.

I have tried it many times now, in the spirit of the game that I loved for the past 25 years, I have called the clans for a duel (or circle of equals). All I've got in response was contempt and bad comments for the other team... Not surprising but it was nonetheless very sad.

I feel the game and the universe would benefit when players accept duels and all who are in the drop respect these challenges. Such an event between two mechjock, one against the other where all participants would cease firing and watch the combat would be fun to participate and fun to watch. That could even make for GREAT videos pics and create lore’s that would reverberate across the net!

So next time you see me on the battlefield my call sign is Parkensis, but you can call me Park. If you can beat me in single combat as described here I will resign my commission from my current employer and become a bondsman. But only if that duel is respected and fair.
My kill death ratio is above 2.o, I own one of the Gold Timberwolves of this game, I am a legendary founder and I challenge anyone to respect the game and make it more fun to play!

Park

Seyla!

If you ever meet me in the battlefield, you can hope for a fair duel.

If I'm fighting IS pilots, I'd honor duels.

I imagine Clan vs Clan would honor them....

But If I'm fighting Vatborn freaks... well... youre lucky there's no melee system.

IDK if you've seen the arms on my Banshee but...

OH, and put a round through the cockpit on the way by... just to be sure...

You have a good idea, and you had my respect until you said you bought a gold timberwolf. Now I just think you are crazy foolish.


That said, your initial idea is a good one.

The only honorable way to battle is as one with your fellow mechwarriors. There is no room for personal competition, only utter annihilation.

I am all up for this circle thing. At least until the rest of my lance gets into position to tear the clanner apart. That's sort of honrable..quiff...quip...forget it. :P

Maybe in some of the new 4vs4 game modes this will be born again. Single combat is honor.

I think it is a great idea.

This game is more than just big robots - it has a history to it, and some RPG elements, so it would be nice to see that implemented, even in a basic form.

If you're on the side that is losing & you run to the enemy's spawn.

Sometimes you can get a 1 vs 1 duel when one of them ejects or is picked off in a damaged mech.

It might've worked better before dropships were buffed.
