I dont care about this game being an esport. They need to focus on the gamemode most people play Quickplay and make that even better.

Also they need to advertise, I mean come on I have never seen this game advertised.

Quickplay is the only game mode FW is just quickplay with four mechs per player. They could do so much more with this game. I'm hoping that MW5 delivers a better experience. Though after playing this for the last week I'm not sure it will, which is a really depressing prospect. Since Battletech I've been trying to scratch my BT itch, and I'm not sure what else to play besides MWO for it.

Its kinda hard to be quickplay when you respawn 4 times in the match. That sorta makes it longplay.

Not for some people.

i hope not. Im kind of tired of 90% of multiplayer shooters being respawn filled and samey. MWO lack of respawns is a breath of fresh air compared to most games. Now all thats missing is some tanks/infantry and aircraft to step on and this game will be compelte

FP is usually 4 mechs in 20 mins, QP is 1 mech in 7 mins. On a per mech basis it's faster.

I rarely have games that last 7 minx in QP. That seems a bit long for me 4-5 min avg match times at best. Seriously.


But even still, its only because you have to throw mechs away to get anything done in that mode. Not really a show of anything other then the bad game modes flaws. IMO


OP, I dont think many in the community want that kinda game mode here, i know i dont. Just leads to a lot of YOLOing and gimmicks. Better to make your decisions matter if you ask me.

Then maybe a 15 minute quick play match mode with unlimited kills. The team that has the most kills at the 15 minute Mark is the Victor. Would still be quick play... With respawn.

Nah.

But I think FP needs an 8v8 mode with same mech respawns with some sort of objective.

Game definitely needs a mode where the objective is critical and the death is a secondary pleasure.

I've been saying this for a long time. Any objective mode PGI hopes to implement will become Skirmish as long as there is no respawns. No respawns also favors our burst alpha peek and hide meta over DPS builds. It's a lot easier to do an objective when the whole enemy team is dead.

The large issue at hand is there is the matches have no consequence. Initially there FW/CW/or whatever it is called was supposed to do that... The next best thing we can do is a campaign mode - akin what is done in Red Orchestra 2 - except with no respawns.

MWO has 3 game modes actually, 4 is you count scouting as seperate. MW5 might be fun for those who want a pve experience. I wont be playing it tho. Battletech was a huge disappointment for me as well.

No thanks I like 1 life per game.
