OK Russ just confirmed ranked Solaris game mode. Probably 8vs8 but maybe also 1vs1.

I have this tiny hair brained idea, that we've been testing the team death match mode for online play for what will be a single player game....

[cSand]

Should be 4v4, or 2v2.. Not 8v8, too close to what we have now.

1v1 though, nice. Count me in. That's the real deal.

-sigh- more just saying that I find PVP boring and a waist of my precious game time... It's why MWO gets maybe a few hours a month that I play it. I had enough IRL-PVP when deployed....

Tournament will be 8vs8 probably and it will be tide in to rank teams for the 2017 tournament.

[Pariah Devalis]

Mmm. Ranked 1v1 solaris.... Screw the C-Bills, I want that challenge!

[ShinobiHunter]

Solaris should be 1v1, but 12 player last-man-standing would be a lot of fun too

[El Bandito]

1v1? Count me in. I might be 34 years old, but I am not dead!

Maybe you should stop wearing your watch around your beer belly if it's such a waist of time.

i would have preferred solaris to just be pure 16 player death match. but i dont see how 8v8 team death match is different from skirmish.

dueling is nice though. id have it set up where you do it tournament style. the game would play in rounds. the first will have 8 duals, the winners go on to another round with 4 duals, 3rd being 2 duals and it all comes down to the final dual. you get a 4 mech deck with a fixed tonnage allotment and you can use each mech in your deck for one round and must use a new mech for the next one. you get the normal combat rewards, but they double each round.

rounds would take place on one arena map, the map is divided into 8 sections, each round some of the dividers are removed so the arena gets progressively larger each round the final round uses the full arena.

you could employ strategy when constructing your deck and order in which you use them. for example you might bring in lights early and use the assault for the final round.

Umm....we've had that for 4 years

[FalconerGray]

8v8? Solaris is supposed to be all v all....

What we have now is exactly the same as a team Solaris....

[Accused]

Yeah we need a free for all, no teams. Perhaps 4 man units vs other 4 man units or 1 vs 1 honor fights. Otherwise 24 mechs, last one standing wins.

[LordNothing]

last man standing would be cool. but i would also want deathmatch with respawns. these would just be continuous games with map rotation.

. . . *cracks knuckles*

my body is ready.



...which, I tend to play this game as a string of 1v1's anyway (much to the serious detriment of my team )

It is going to be ranked and used to help rank teams and players for later comp play.
