Assault and Skirmish are just no mods. Create a map with nothing in it and it will win prizes. Maybe fits to the attention span of the kids today.

Decided to get on conquest mode yesterday with 2 buds and it was just dead, could not find any matches at all. Is this game mode dead?

Basically you found the mwo community catch 22.

Players: "we wantzorz something thatz not str8 dM, pgi sukz!"
PGi: Ok guys we;ll give you assault,escort and conquest.
Assault gives you another way to win, and makes it slightly more tactical but still similar to DM.
Escort makes the game more mobile as you have to follow the VIP-it'll help stop camping.
Conquest forces players to move about the map and forces players to stop camping, it also gives you more money!
Players: Butz....we no likes this! We haz to run about and not campzorz and snipe from max range!!!!! We dont likz dis tactics stuff! We have to talk to other payers...pgi sukz!!!!!!

Sorry for the cynicism but sadly it's quite true:)

Conquest is not Skirmish. Many players want only Skirmish.

With FP you get what you get. Conquest is randomly chosen for you.

He's not talking about the game mode "Conquest", he's talking about Faction Play, the mode based around... conquering the Inner Sphere... which doesn't have a lot of players, at least not compared to QP.

Conquest would be much more interesting if it worked more like Assault; You only get points as long as there is a mech standing on the control point.

Interesting. Not sure if that is the ticket.
