Starting with the June16 Patch,
CW spawn positions will be pushed back,

so my idea is to rework Gens to be Capture Points,
and make it where Attackers have to have 2 Captured to open Omega,
this i feel will slow down Blind Assaults and help with Tactics,



as there are 3 Gens and only 2 have to be held,
both attackers and defenders would have to split their forces,
the game becomes more about capturing and holding then Death balling,

Thoughts, Comments, Concerns?
Thanks

Sounds like a fun mode but the biggest issue is CW needs a reason to own/fight for planets.

I'll do you one better. Instead of it being just a cap point m9be the generators underground where any sane general would put them. Then require the attacker to escort troop transports or elements is if clan to take out these bunkers opening up the cannon to attack.

This would require map redesigns, and would also be too difficult for the attackers, who have a longer distance to walk.

Yes Attackers have to walk farther, to get to the Gens,
but remember Defenders are being pushed back a good deal,
so Attackers wont have to walk too much farther than Defenders,

Edit-
also Maps are already being redesigned,
this is just a slight modification of Asset locations,
in most cases could be added with out too much work,
moving and relocating building and such,

I think this would be a nice alternative game mode in CW. Instead of attacking the Omega for the up-tenth time you instead duke it out over a different area or city. Or you can assault a fort and it becomes more of a capture and hold scenario.
I think that CW just needs more variation but hey 4v4 system is on the way

It would be great if planets had a purpose, a couple of options are:

Staging Areas
Increased - C-Bills
Increased - XP
Discount on weapons (4 different types)
Discount on Battlemechs
Discount on equipment
Increase in Loyalty Points
Discount for Modules
Increase in GXP
(Bonuses are stack-able say 1 or 2%)

Staging areas give you certain avenues of attack. Taking planet A (staging area) gives no bonus but allows to attack planet B, C, D, lose planet A and you lose those planets that give you bonuses, as your supply lines have been cut.

House units need to be given a boost, and Merc units need to be nerfed. House units get free supply but mercs have to pay for it, in CW only, of course, a reduced version of the old supply and re-arm. Hopefully this would make more players be house units rather than mercs to stop the large swings in mercenary contracts.

No.

The biggest issue is that CW is not fun for most players.
