I admit...I've played some MWLL Solaris Arena gamemode recently...and it's fun
I know, I know, "Respawns have no place in MWO!"
Yeah, it's funny. Respawns have no place, but we're free to lose our mech 10 times every hour without any kind of repercussions. No injured pilots, ala old Mechwarrior / MechCommander games. No repair, no rearm. For some reason, only respawns would break our immersion. Disconnecting and starting a new match is cool. Because reasons.
I say screw it. Bring on respawns. This is not an immersive Mechwarrior experience anyway, to the point where player death has any meaning. FP even has drop decks. Who cares?

What's your expectation of Solaris VII?
My expectations are quite low. Some kind of tiny deathmatch map with FFA deathmatches. Probably 8-16 people in each match, to keep server costs low. No visibible crowd, unlike MW4:Mercs. No commentator, unlike MW4:Mercs. Just deathmatch with a Solaris warhorn and some crowd sound effects.
My hopes are that they'll go and deliver something like what we saw in MW4:Mercs. With George Ledoux.
