Simple enough to do, 10 matches and 5 wins, for a nice 2+2m cbills, plus an additional 250k+250k cbills for TSP owners. Kudos PGI!

Heres's some potato salt: If you actually can win on Oasis.......0-5 yesterday and 0-9 today and I am done..... Nothing but NASCAR stomps......Very stupid map and no reason for anything other than Assaults and JJ Lights..... HPG repeating over and over and now Oasis.........no more QP, I'm done... Simply not worth doing anymore. FP is really dead and my team tonight decided not drop in FP anytime in the near future..... Scouting is all that is left I guess.... (sigh, what a mess...)

@Asym: Scouting really? You claim you hate brawling but scouting is 99% high alpha legging. Does not compute. Please tell me you are not a smoke diver.

I haven't tried it yet, but judging by streamers/youtubers, it looks like a fun hot brawling map, with lots of verticality.

the only gripe is that we have 15 days to complete it. I would only need 1 day and i want more cbill objectives because i cant have enough cbills

Not a biggie. Events can overlap. I'm more surprised that the Kill Bills event had to end before the Thanatos/Rubellite events could start. Those events should be active the moment the patch landed.

It's gonna be hilarious when it never comes up, or keeps getting voted down for obscure reasons (or because polar is available for lrmers =p )

Wait...wut?

Oasis is the least Nascar map we have. There aren't any good places to go in circles around because if your team does it, the other team has a multitude of places they can go up/over/through and smoosh you.

There are high perches to snipe from and lots of low nooks and crannies to ambush people.

Heck, it's even one of the worst maps for LRM's (I say that as one of the few people who sees LRM's as a viable and useful tool in MWO) so if you hate LRM's, that's your map. It's also not overly friendly to laser vomit given the heat, so if you want to avoid that entirely-too-common MWO gameplay, Oasis again.

Oh, and I've been running mostly heavies (cuz I need to skill Thannies), and they work as well as any other mech on that map.

He takes ATM Huntsmans to scouting.

In the mode that 95% of the time devolves into rubbing your cockpits together while you try to blow each other's legs off? y tho?

Have had the worst luck on the new map but that doesn't mean it is a bad map.

Another hot map is nice, even when I bring laser vomit I enjoy a good hot map, most of them aren't LRM friendly and it is nice to snag a kill or two because the enemy shuts down over and over.

Yeah.... That's all that is left. Yes, yuck, but it's better than nothing I guess....

Till they fix MM, or map choice become random again to let the rest of us play MWO, or they let players lock-in a lower tier to play, or faction play stops being "just a farming event" and teams again have planetary goals and objectives, I'm just going to keep to my original team's scouting request and monitor MWO till it evolves (and they want to come back) or shuts down because no one is left.

No smoke. Just the hard reality that games need to be "fun"; and, getting stomped on a new map, over and over and over and then having to play the same three maps all day long is too much....There is the reality.......
