Battle Royale is the new MOBA.

Please no. As exciting as it is to not play Solaris, not sure we really need another mode to not play. I feel there are sufficient battle royale games available without attempting to further dilute the ever dwindling population here.

Free for all is practically what we have in solo que anyway, what with all the friendly fire being traded about.

Had a guy earlier apologise for doing 540 team damage. I was impressed. Perhaps more so that it didn't result in an instakick, although I assume he spent a while in the matchmaker queue afterwards. Most of it was the arty strike he dropped in the middle of our team early on.

FFA mode is mediocre, trust me. Mercstar had a FFA event and I was less than impressed. People will play it for few days, and then realize that strong players will still have much better map awareness and can utterly demolish the rest, so average players will abandon the mode en masse.

Solaris FFA would be a fun game mode but many players who are team reliant would easily give up on it because they have no one to ask for help. There would be hiders, but there's an easy counter for this just add Disqualification for hiding and shutting down or avoiding fights, It happened in MW4.

Not in their current game engine. If they ever make the jump to another engine. I think it would be a fun option. I think they would have to make it so the winner is the one with the best stats at the end of the game. instead of who survives last.

FFA was the original Solaris, no? I'm definitely down for it.

It's not 'the new battle royale'.

MW4 had FFA Solaris.

IMO not sure a FFA Solaris mode would bring anything significantly different than just dropping SoloQ.

the solaris ship has already capsized. it cant be saved at this point. Had PGI implemented FFA in solaris at the start things might have been different. But its too late to add FFA to solaris now, solaris already has a bad reputation.

better for PGI to fix the gamemodes that people actually still play.
