Yes, this should totally happen. I would love to field a 8 man EmP team and see if we can kill 8 mechs in under 90 seconds.

You are joking, of course ... Well, at least I hope that you are joking, right? Posted Image

The sad thing is that I could imagine two or three premades waiting to deploy with that exact intent. Posted Image

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. If PGI gave us the option to drop an 8 man into queue, who are we to argue against a good time Posted Image ?

No, but I can put up a bat-signal and probably find 8 people for a one night only event if this actually happened.

I'm down, I think an 8 man team would be interesting. I also highly doubt it would be as OP as some here think.

I think they should have 8 man groups, in fact i think they should give them a special location- some sort of queue of their own.

It would have to be separate from solo queue of course, but it would certainly be a joy to the groups because they would be bored stomping over solo players over and over again any way.

What could we call this mode?

Maybe "Team Queue or Comrade Queue" or something.

Maybe something like faction war?

I know our group would quit playing if it went to 8 man drops. This 8v8 weekend was already horrible in QP.
