You try holding a lock at all times against a 170kph deaths knell, and tell me streaks are easy boat.

You people seriously need to live your lives hate free, and just enjoy the game.

Try direct fire if you have issues hitting lights with Streaks (I am hate free btw I can´t hate people boating streaks )

I'll give it 2 hours.

[Summon3r]

i give under 2 hours myself.... what was the reasoning for removing the turrets anyway?

So they can be capped again. ANd so defenseless mechs cannot use them as free guns.

DOn't get me wrong, its smart to do it but there is complaining...

[Thorqemada]

They should place a Tank as guard near a base - maybe it can move around a bit wth a basic AI.

[DAYLEET]

Assault used to be great before the turrets.

Sounds legit...

Assault Game Mode

• Turrets have been removed
  
• Union Class Dropship added as base defense

[Bilbo]

Atlas Ninja Cap could also be a thing this evening. That won't upset anyone enough to make thread, would it?

Only if he's the last one left and he doesn't cap before the timer expires. Bonus if he's an LRM DDC.

Its like PGI forgot why they added turrets to assault in the first place....

That is not a ninja cap, that is an "I'm screwed" cap.

Hmm.. We had alot of base capping before. I don't see any benefit to be honest.

Infantery, tanks and small mechs would be great.

But the turrets are laughable. I don't think PGI is capeable of it. Could be wrong, but don't you need a complex AI for it? Or perhaps it's already in build in the engine.

People can't protect their assets because they get tunnel vision and have to kill that other mech and forget to think and protect the base? Then they loose too fast and don't amass enough C-bills because base caps don't pay.

Then they post on message boards how it's sooooo stupid, and the devloper caves to the pressure.

yet the fact remains assault was less bad after they added turrets

IMO they shouldve combined assault and conquest into one game mode. Have bases that need defending as well as 3 capturable resource nodes.

That combined gamemode fixes most of the flaws with both assault and conquest. It gives all weight classes something to do. And having multiple ways to win makes it much more strategic (win by getting to 500 resources first, capping the enemy base, or destroying the enemy team).
