What would peoples opinions be on a quick play with all 24 players battling each other in an every mech for himself match? I think this would be very challenging and fun and a new addition. Thoughts?

I thought a 24 player free for all was what Solaris was gonna be and honestly, I would play it if they implemented it. Something similar to the Solaris grand championships in MW4 Mercs.

Free for all modes have been requested many times, PGIs response has been that they can't make that work on the current engine.

And while that sounds pretty fun on paper, I'm pretty sure in gameplay this would be not that fun, just like Solaris..

with respawn, yes.
without respawn, infernal hide fest.

There's **** all people playing it the last couple of days, that's for sure.

I'd expect a campfest.

Well, what I have seen in similar game modes in other games is that friends "group up", take out everybody else together and then decide among themselves who wins this thing.

Or play hide and seek and hope nobody finds them.

Both versions are not exactly a lot of fun to play against...

Four friends are going to group up and take out the other 20 mechs? I suppose...

there is a reason why i avoid battle royale games like the plague

and that's because i think the whole concept is dumb
why is dumb ? because it promotes autism game play
i'm here for the team play
team play of bust

the only thing good about BR where the 2 japanese movies where kids offed each other on an island

Well, 4 people playing together will roll over 20 people not playing together. It may not sound like much, but the only way to beat that strategy is for more players to band together to take them out, which I have never actually seen happen. First of all it takes a while for people to realise it, and then you may not get the remaining people organised fast enough to matter.

It would make for poor gameplay because there's no healing and it's hard to one-shot enemies. People would hide because the optimal strategy would be to avoid damage until the very end.

We could have a gentlemen's agreement that if Terra Therma: Incursion gets selected that we treat it as a free-for-all.
