The problem is that we didnt have respawn, i mean real respawn. Not dropdeck like with limited mechs. Respawn as long as the match is goin on.
King of the hill without respawn? Noone would enter the hill because you just can watch till the end of the match after your instadeath.
Conquest? Set the cap to 2.5k and have funny games. But it just would work with respawn. Why should i defend a base 2on1when the only end is permadeath?
Same for CTF, who would grap the Flag if one is dieing within a second after 5 enemys reach you?

I would do all these things, even more stupid things, if we would have respawn.
I would write a novel if my english would be good enough for all i have to say

I don't think Mercs killed faction warfare. Faction warfare killed faction warfare.

This.

Not to mention, a well designed game incentivizes good players behavior, so if people were doing something that was harmful to the health of FW, then it is up to PGI to disincentive that attitude/behavior, not the community.

Pssst. That's not how you upload an image. Upload your image to imgur, copy the image URL after uploading, and put it into this format.

Alright. Thanks!

CTF will just be skirmish in the vast majority of cases without some form of respawn.

It's pretty hard to come up with objectives when you can just kill the other team, because contesting most objectives involves killing the other team, so you might as well just do that anyway.

This needs to be printed on a shirt or something and worn at MechCon.

The other problem is that nobody will want to be the flag carrier because the cbill payout and PSR gain for it would be absolutely terrible, if PGI's 'incentives' for the Assault and Conquest objectives are anything to go by. So long as it is only possible to make decent money by killing 'Mechs, the vast majority of players will continue to ignore objectives if accomplishing them would mean turning in lower killy-shooty numbers. We need a scoring system overhaul before any new game mode will be viable.

Fear of being stomped??? The fear of being stomped by a big bad team is the last reason I hardly play FW....
