I searched a bit but couldn't find anything on it, I know it has been said that the population cannot support any new game types is that the reason why we have never had a 12 vs 12 game mode where the mechs facing each other are in the same class? CW already proves that picking a 4 mech loadout one of each class is possible so why not have another option in the regular game mode which we could choose 1 chassis of each class and then be thrown into a random match of 12 vs 12 in one of the 4 weight classes. I guess I am really just curious to know what matches would look like if there were 24 lights or 24 heavies on the field.

12 lights vs 12 lights
12 meds vs 12 meds
12 heavy vs 12 heavy
12 assault vs 12 assault

I can understand what you guys are saying, I wasn't around during beta so I guess I thought with the amount of mechs we had in game that we would see some variety but who am i kidding... just a thought

well, private lobby. get a 25th as spectator and post the youtube link.
you could make this a tournament, but i'm afraid the playerbase will not be big enough for it...
i'm with Khobai here, fun and interesting as an experiment, boring after the 5th time if you do it as a new game mode.

It's not very fun, the game really is at its best when you mix up the weight classes.

I guess if you want to be the only person not running C SSRM6 it might provide some variety.

Otherwise the queue is going to be nothing but whatever the currently most OP/broken hitbox mech in the weight class is and anyone that doesn't run that is going to get crushed.

Way back at the onset of private lobbies we teamed up with another unit to do an all locust match. Friggin hilarious! Zipping around more like fighters than mechs.

In the real world though, yeah, this would get old quickly.

You could do it and have it randomly assign you one of the 4 weight classes in the match. Select 4 mechs, the MM decides what weight you play in the match, balanced out among the other pla...

lol. They can't even get the MM to make reasonable matches. Gah.

Actually it would be alot of fun. Maybe have it as an event once a week on fridays or something. Let the event last for 4 hours so everyone gets a chance to play and every week is a different mech featured.

This but make it so if it is all one weight class it is 8 vs 8 instead of 12 vs 12.
