...Escort. Simple as that. The only game mode beside Conquest that forces people to play and not camp.

True, but it sure needs some tweaking. And the Atlas pilot... really needs to read the map better for not going dumbnumb into the open so often. Gotta send a pilot in a locut to give him some coffee, atlas pilot is a sleepy/ unaware one and clearly needs it. Alot of coffeine!

I find conquest gives the most. It gives the same as Skirmish or Assault, but adds that nice bonus based on how many points you have.

Yeah, that VIP is either asleep at the stick or drunk off his rocker....

Conquest > Escort

Escort ends up paying less a vast majority of the time because people just kill the VIP instead of having a longer drawn out battle. Conquest timers take long enough that the battle has usually happened and is done before it counts down.

Pretty much this, while I personally love Escort it's not that rare for the VIP to get destroyed very early on because the defending team wasn't paying attention.

Then it means defending team sucks. Just like Conquest team that kills more but loses by points.

Indeed, but that means you don't get nearly as many cbills/xp compared to say Conquest ;p

Conquest is the big payout quick play game mode. The points sort of force people to move and fight as well. I'm not hating on Escort though. For a long while I have just been voting for anything that isn't Skirmish on the screen.

[Coolant]

can't speak to your title, but then you go off on a tangent about modes where you camp (totally unrelated to your title). But, as far as camping, I rarely see camping in Skirmish or Assault.

If you are complaining about camping, you may have never played MW4:Mercs.

[G4LV4TR0N]

Say what you want, but it was ghost heat that prevented people doing what MW4 newbs do all the time - get to best map spot and camp with 8 PPC's and Jump Jets. So, instead we got Gauss/PPC grouping which many people consider "meta" and is basically same thing, still good move by PGI.

My idea for improving escort and perhaps making it far more interesting.

The Atlas, instead of following a predefined path follows the company commander of the defensive unit.
The "beacon" or destination is known to the defensive unit at the start of the game and the time limit is set.
The dropship arrives when the Altas is 800M out from the location.
If the company commander dies the next nearest team mech to the atlas is chosen and it then follows it
If no one selects being the company commander a random mech from Charlie company is selected.

Conquest draws everyone close to the yellow circle. Those seem to be my best combative payout matches - expect for when I dive into the circle early for my team and eat flaming death.
