Bumped this old post because it is exactly what I have wanted from Solaris for a long time.


Just read the amazing Solaris announcement on twitter. (Link coming soon and more details to come.)

"Let the Games begin!"
The bay door swings up and away, revealing your opponent across a labyrinth of obstacles rising from the arena floor.
Barely aware that the signal has been given, you are off and running, weapons blazing to cover your desperate sprint to safety.
Diving through a maelstrom of explosions, you round a corner and charge your foe, ignoring the insistent flashing of your warning lights.

Brief overview...

1. Coming in a month or so.

2. Arenas include the classics.... Boreal Reach, The Factory, Ishiyama, The Jungle, Steiner Coliseum and Solaris Stables. Not all maps will be ready when it is released.

3. Yes there will be betting of cbills and possibly mechs later on.

4. Yes it will have leader boards both over all and per game mode.

5. Yes it will have Duncan Fisher.

6. Yes it will have several game modes. Modes will include free for all. 12 2 man team free for all. Also 1vs1 - 2vs2 - 4vs4 - 6vs6 and 12vs12.

7. Some aspects maybe need require premium time depending on community feedback etc.

8. There will be special prizes like custom camo and titles and war horns you can only get in this game mode much like CW.

9. The top ranked players can also win MC.

10. Top matches will be recorded and promoted by PGI on the website.

11. One problem could be april first.

12. Stock mech modes.

13. PGI run tournaments of top players after it is out two or three months.

Cant wait. What do you think?

2x2, 4x4, 6x6, 12x12? What's the point? It's just skirmish by another name.

Because lots of people play in small unit that do not have time to take part in comp play. But would like to play as small teams not having to carry other people

Yes I know what you meant in this context, I just saw the opportunity to be a smartass.

[KraftySOT]

The part thats hilarious is the betting of mechs. Do you get free mechbays that way? I have 21, and 21 mechs, i beat you, gets yo mech, and have 22? Then sell it?

Cool.

Paulbot would crush that in an instant. April fools errybody. Go get some easter eggs.

[Triordinant]

I'm hoping for a 1 vs 1 mode with both players in 'mechs that are 100% IDENTICAL down to the last point of armor and its location on the 'mech. This mode will settle once and for all who's the better Mechwarrior because neither will have a technological advantage or a team to carry him.

I think I saw no announcement on twitter, you didn't link a source, and you hinted it's an April Fool's joke.

I think I'm going to finish my sammich.

We've been had friends! If only this were true! I want the FFA and 12 man 2 vs 2!
