As title. Last game I was in my whole team was in the area that was green, and the enemy had 2 mechs in. Their counter was counting down. So what is it? the less mechs you have in the circle the better?

Got me
Had a match earlier today that ended in a tie

So we got to watch for 5 min as one light went high on HPG and the heavy was low

The heavy was not going to catch the light and I guess the light was too badly damaged
Crazy game mode

You need to get some whips and chains first...and you need a smoking hot chick with a mean streak...

Seriously though...you have to be in the green circle and drive the enemy out of it/kill them all.

Hate this game mode, it's got to be the silliest mode they've come up with. I would think that when 2/3s of your team is occupying the green circle... and the other team has one or two mechs in the circle, and they win.... I guess I don't get it...? Horrible game mode. I never select it.

But like I said... we were all in the circle, they had like one or two, their timer was going down, ours was staying at 1:00

Me neither but deselecting game modes doesnt have the effect it used to.

Their timer should not have been dropping.

I've got a nice video of me messing around. Jumped my light into the dish on Polar and nobody on the enemy team had JJ's or LRMs and thus couldn't hurt me at all. Hilarious
Too bad my internet is too crap to upload a 4 min video

Oh good, please inform PGI of this because the game could absolutely use more invisible walls. Posted Image

I have seen Domination bug once. We had completely destroyed the other team, we had 6 mechs left in the circle and still couldn't get the win. It was like there was an invisible enemy mech in the circle somewhere even though they were all dead. So strange things can happen occasionally.
