The game play has been declining for some time, but since the announcement of MWOs lack of support- there isn't any game play.

No more MM- 1/2 the team shouldn't be cadets, no more GP, no more FP... I have no reason to keep playing. I'm tired of being on a team- or even against a team, where 2-3 people run out and die before anybody else has even fired a shot, the fun is gone. You got to love that assault lance that can't score 100 points of damage.

Probably the worst thing though is nobody in my unit is even playing anymore- very sad, from10- 50 people used to be on every night- now TS is a ghost town.... no need to group up because you won't find a match. Looks at friends list, out of 100's - there are 2 playing......

I don't see a rebound coming either- so many people are mad because of MW5, I expect MWO to die before MW5 is even released. I know I am basically done with the way things are now, I try to play and then get totally disgusted after 1-2 matches= done for the day.

Cadets in GQ is actually a good thing. If they're making tier 3 inside of 25 games they're better than most tier 1 players already.

You are assuming that they are in Tier 3 and that MM isn't just releasing all the valves because it was timing out on searching for a closer match.

It would be OK, if they could actually do at least triple digit damage...... but they hide the whole game or are lost, if they don't get rolled in the first 2 minutes.

Funny comment though, I had to laugh... because it is true.

Has anyone tested that recently; the last time I tried it several months ago I could not get a sync with a tier 1 pilot at *** oclock in the morning searching oceanic only.

So, like a tier 1 pilot?

I'm almost positive the gates are wide open, there are way too many cadets and knight errants out there to even be tier 3-4, I'm pretty sure they are just trying to get 24 people together, within 5 minutes.

Group Queue? Does the MM even use Tier? I thought that was removed to allow it to form up groups, with the group sizes determining the tonnage...? Not finding anything about whether or not Tiers are even in consideration for the GQ...

Same here, I. Group q were playi g with the same 50 people each night. Game after game. You can tell in 5 seconds if you will win or not. Games are 12 -2 12 -3 over and over. 4 hours of playing you might get 2 good games.

The game never should have had tiered match making. This hampered people's ability to git gud faster.

You're probably right since this isn't a true MechWarrior game.

lol, in what way?

Not enough board game mechanics?
