Next patch, players get to vote on game mode and map selection, AFTER matchmaker forms 2 teams!

Frees up matchmaker from the "buckets" of game mode now, and gives players choice. A nice feature IMO.

4 maps will be randomly selected for players to vote on, 2 game modes selected for players to vote on per match.

per town hall.

So ill play skirmish 75% of the time again as opposed to 0% of the time now...


<edit> Well we should at least give it a try. We can always riot later.

Eww. I hate skirmish. I refuse to play that terrible game mode.

[Alex Morgaine]

So just more dcs cause they don't get the game mode they want. Ugh, just get rid of the game mode choice, a few leave in disgust and the rest would get over it fast and keep playing. Map mode choice was needed though. Add in mech choice after map mode and it's a winner.

Even more reason to stay in CW IMO. I can't stand skirmish.

Fair enough if they get rid of skirmish and replace it with some other objective game mode. But I can't think of a reason for playing a mode that just encourages you to kill the other team or die trying.

[El Bandito]

WTF man... I want to play my Skirmish mode 100% of the time, in peace.

[Zordicron]

I think we need to shake out the vote before coming to conclusions.
I unchecked assault mode last night. Tonight I played 5 matches, and they were all conquest, even though I had both skirmish and conquest checked.

I really don't think it will be skirmish mode or bust. But if I am wrong, I am sure the outcries will be loud and long and Russ will look into it. IMO, it is worth a try for sure if we can keep the gates closed for MM. Late into the night for NA, my matches get BAD as people log off and the gates open. If MM can get some relief for that, and I still got some choice in the matter of what i play, IMO thats a good trade off.

Lol so many maps we will never play again.

[Kira Onime]

Actually looking forward to this.

[Triordinant]

We should start a Vote for Caustic, Terra Therma and Tourmaline Movement!

[Kira Onime]

Hopefully I'll be seeing less of the new maps with this system.

And the bans shall rise up from the pit and consume the smart while the dim and violent chant "dont waste my time!" wherever a tactic other than facetanking or immediate gratification is thwarted with patient intelligent tactics.

[Nightshade24]

Good by terra therma... my 3rd favourite map will only be seen in the the testing grounds...

[Mystere]

Banzai!

It's going to be a bit tough to master new mechs in CW...

...Meh, still better than skirmish.

[KuroNyra]

That is actually a terrible idea.
Complete negate what was done before.
Here, PGI have made 1 step forward and 2 step back.

Isn't that what they've always done? Why break a trend, right?

[Speedy Plysitkos]

So its a "map selection" right ? so no more alpine ? no more forest colony ? yay.

[Rhalgaln]

So teams of 12 man will decide the map and gamemode for the match because the randoms mostly will not all choose the same map/gamemode?

Thank you PGI, this compensates for the 600t rules!

Full teams will dominate you! Eat this puggie scum...

I can not believe that such a stupid idea will make it to the game. But I already know a solution to break that domination rule for large teams:
Each vote is divided by the groupsize and than simply added up - this gives the smallest team the power to decide map and gamemode.

So wating for the feature, the whining thread and the "solution".
Awesome. And never complain I didn't tell you before...
