Faction warfare is in dire need of new invasion maps as right now it is just going into one world and securing the surface of its 15+ guns which really is pretty boring after 2 phase and 3rd one being the same.

If anything each world should have at most 4 maps involving going to secure its planetary defense gun. Rest of the maps should be based on attacking bases randomly placed some where or key structures, escorting a convoy (Simple AI path node to node), securing facilities, etc, heck even maps that have a progressive spawn system for the attackers giving lights and mediums a more nich scout / advance sweeping role so you can bring your assaults in closer to the goal without then need of a long trek after securing a forward position or enemy camp that was once occupied by the defending team. Stuff like that heck even using current solo que maps as a skirmish for invasion will work too.

Take this how yea like but something REALLY needs to be done to add more flavor to Faction warfare.

Indeed. I would concider trying FW if...and only if they made maps without those bottlenecks. If the next FW map is with a bottleneck PGI will never learn.
And yes...we need more gamemodes and maps in general. Not just FW but QP as well.

It needs some invasion maps that don't involve guns that passively shoot the air for no reason (ni Battletech at this time period they do NOT shoot jump-ships; it is practically a taboo. And Dropships are coming down without any damage, so it isn't shooting dropships it isn't even ever facing in the right direction. So it isn't doing anything).

What about other missions?

Other mission? Yeah....i'd take one of those Chaffee Servicemechs and shovel manure if they would make that kinda mission.
Yup. I'm serious. No irony. Serious.

Imagine how much fun we could have with throwing manure at each other....just be carefull no to throw the cows through the air by accident.
Farmers way to have a damn war.

The CattleMaster family is designed to herd huge animals, even dragons.
That would be fun

Front Mission 3 had a mission where you are sent to a farm based on intel about a new super Wanzer... turns out its a livestock farm, where some Chinese hick in the O.C.U. territory has dreams of making it big with his trucks converted into Wanzers using combustion engines powered by cow and pig manure. It has several of them, each piloted by a member of his family including his parents, one of whom has a fighting style that involves trying to figure out how to use what she believes to be the VCR tape deck and TV because she wants to catch her favorite quizzical game show (Jeopardy, much?)

o.O;

Seriously.

But yeah. Rescue prisoners of war. Escort diplomat or person of importance. Protect convoy. Steal factory. Stop offworld communications. The list could go on and on.
