Hi

An idea for a Game mode to give smaller groups and singles a more CW focus .. thereby taking the pressure of the main 12v12 matchs to accommodate smaller groups.

PARTISAN/GARRISON

FACTION - IS vs IS/CLAN
LOCATION - Recently captured (flipped) worlds (recently = 1 month?)

FORCES -
PARTISAN 4 Pilots (no redrop - 50 ton drop limit) (Light+Medium only)
GARRISON 4 Pilots (1 redrop - 90 ton drop limit) (Light+Medium only) OR 8 pilots (no redrops - 55 ton Drop limit) Light+Medium only)
OBJECTIVE -
PARTISAN - Destroy as many warehouses/Generators as possible (1-10)
GARRISON - Kill Partisans

CW EFFECT - Each destroyed warehouse/Generator = 5 ton reduction on all CW drops for the defending faction for 30 mins.

E.G. Clan wolf conquer Luthien, small groups of raiders/Partisans begin attacking supply lines forcing Clan high command to siphon off troops to garrison Luthien. Meanwhile IS main line companies attack/defend fully contested worlds meet weaker resistance.

Already in the works. From the March Roadmap Post:

[color=#00FFFF]Future items worth mentioning that are in the pipeline include. The Looking for Group tool/functionality and another CW map both scheduled for release in April. Work is progressing very nicely on the new Mechlab and is scheduled to enter testing by the first part of April. We are also progressing well on a new 4v4 Community Warfare mode, a new MWO tutorial and the decal system. [/color]

50 ton drop penalty might be too high.

The CW Effect might need to be tiered.

E.G.
1-3 Warehouses/Generators destroyed = 5(10?) ton penalty
4-7 Warehouses/Generators destroyed = 10(20?) ton penalty
8-10 warehouses/Generators destroyed - 15(30?) ton penalty?

I heard that in the town halls yes ... but there are no details on the form those 4v4 matches might take or on how they might impact on CW as a whole.

I would assume they would want multiple 4v4 game modes and effects to make it varied.

Can't recall the reference now, but I think the 4v4 is going to be a scouting themed match. I really look forward to it.

I like the idea of the capture points.

I think there should be a light only recon objective too.

Something That requires ECM and the 'Attackers' not to be spotted at all.

Maybe they have to TAG 1-10 Locations

RECON TEAM - 2 mechs
SECURITY TEAM - 4 Mechs

OBJECTIVE
RECON - TAG 1-10 Locations throughout the Map for post recon bombardment.
SECURITY - Hunt and Kill recon teambefore they TAG 10 Locations.

CW reward -
1-3 TAGGED structures = 5(10) BONUS tonnes for Attacking combat drops
4-7 Tagged Structures = 10(20) BONUS tonnes for Attacking combat drops
8-10 Tagged Structures = 15(30) Bonus tonnes for Attacking combat drops

This would counter the partisan/garrison mode ... so in theory ... the defenders should be raiding supply lines while the attackers re reconing enemy defences.
