In it, an Atlas will try to get to point A from point B. One team as the defender, the other team is trying to take it out. Sounds like an interesting challenge.
Thank you PGI.

Even pugs would know what to focus.

If they wanted to make it challenging they should have made it a Locust. Those buggers are hard to kill.

(and no, 5000 HP isn't unreasonable, the Atlas K had 1500 HP on one of the PTS')

El Presidente from Team Fortress Classic disagrees. I remember playing as both the escort soldiers and the opposing snipers... the game worked because the escort team had a firepower and armor advantage, and the assassin team could not just bumrush or they would all die quickly...
I think Escort needs uneven teams to succeed.

ever seen a direwolf get swarmed by a lance of coordinated lights when its been abandoned by its team? thats why. also, as a vip who cant fight, would you prefer to be escorted in a hummer, or be the backseat to an atlas with maxed out armour? i know which one i feel safer in.

If the atlas takes the exact same route every time on each map...that's going to be horrible. People will quickly learn where to set up to focus it down, or just camp the
If it's simply so absurdly armored that it can just tank it's way through I don't think that will be very fun either.

ddc atals with ecm as the npc? and light escort with ecm and ams? those two things are about to become pretty darn popular.
I know , this escort game mode might convince people tonbring AMS more often in general...maybe we'll get fewer "LRMs OP!" threads as a result...

In one of MW4's mission maps (Resistance Clash, Col Renards's Last Stand) the mission was to kill an Atlas in a heavily defended spaceport. He was tucked behind good cover and the attacking team really had to peel back layers of turrets, strong points and defending players before they could get a good shot at him. If the game lasted almost the full allotted time the attackers were augmented by a company of heavy AI mechs. That last five minutes could be a rush for both defending and attacking teams.
