Even with people trying to gain the system its still giving more variety than the old vote system and even at times the old RNG.

Besides Iam normally alt tabbed when voting happens any way so meh

1 mech 1 vote!
The new voting system seems like a corrupt Chicago election.

Sounds like that map voting system is working well.

Back to 2287 Boston.


Really? To read most of the WHINE threads related to the Vote system, at least 75% would seem to be about how folks are getting "Bad Maps" all the time, or not getting the "Good Maps" they would prefer. Everyone play/played ALL modes, and still do, as TDM anyways. What is the issue again?

No idea what or where 2287 Boston is but will assume it to be a slight, be it based on some Racial slur or some other demeaning/derogatory slight in general, as that would best fit your MO.

Eeewww.

I did select a mode - 4 times in a row, in fact. Didn't get it.
Twice before I didn't select a mode since my option didn't come up, or I was too slow to log into the game.

Happy, happy joy was not to be had.


That is a good one. So if there were only 3 types of things to eat, you would starve to death rather than try one of the other offerings, even if only once and a while?

P.S. One of those 3 choices is a "Bowl of Nuts" btw. :)

Setting and time period for Fallout 4, i.e. the game Mystere's playing instead of MWO.

Since, y'know, players are still incapable of just PLAYING MWO instead of blarching endlessly about matchmaking.

Did my best, but I don't think I get the analogy.

Playing MWO is in no way a method of sustenance, for me at least. Playing a hated mode works quite the opposite, in fact.

And I won't vote for a "lesser evil" mode, when that is going to reset my vote counter and potentially make me lose a vote when a preferred game mode shows up.

I did play the other modes, so I tried the "other foods".

But instead of starving to death, I'd rather go to another food court ;)

Did you guys know before the start of each match, there is a new minigame you can play?

You are pitted up against everyone waiting to go in the match. Everyone is presented with the same 4 icons.
The aim of the game is to pick the least favorite icon before the timer runs out. But be careful, other players will have the same idea! So you gotta be quick and use your wits!

Batteries not included.

I'm really bad at the mini game. I almost never seem to win the vote, nor do I reap the rewards of the weighted system. I get weighted votes that seem to disappear from time to time even though what I voted on didn't win. I'm guessing the vote resulted in a tie which counts as a win even though the randomly selected winner wasn't what I voted for? :blink:

Sigh! Seeing malice where there is none. How typical of you.

Fallout 4 is set in 2287 Boston.

I think its funny watching everyone trying to game their vote while still getting the map/mode they wanted. Half the time they end up blowing it and getting their worst nightmare map/mode.

When I am paying for something, I have an expectation of liking it. If not, I stop paying. Or in MWO's case, I stop paying and playing.

My biggest complaint is with game mode voting, however I don't like the map voting either since I have not seen Bog, Terra, Caustic, and Tourmaline at all and I have seen Forest one time.

Wow! I haven't even played Fallout 4 and I know what he was talking about with that line, and here you are trying to turn it into some bizarre racial/demeaning/derogatory issue. Talk about pathetic.

Actually, the best part is voting early then unvoting at the last second.... sure, you don't go up in voting points, but you screw over the map choice half the time. It's moderately entertaining.
