The game takes place in an event where smoke Jaguar appear. Solaris 7 was an important city in this event.
Solaris city is still in the game. However Smoke Jaguar is only briefly mentioned as a sticker you can put on the mech.
Smoke Jaguar is as well mentioned as as a paint color.

This is the solaris City
Instead we got the inner sphere map

Solaris VII is an Inner Sphere planet, right between the Free Worlds League and the Lyran Alliance.

because S7 was a complete waste of everyone's time and effort. time that could have been put to say a Rescaling of all mechs so they are the proper size or adding depth to Faction to make it worth dealing with meta try hard cry babies to play. they only added it because the comp minority didn't stop wining about it.

1v1 was always a bad idea and always will be in a game like this. i don't think i ever bothered even trying S7 once. i find the more players the better. there are so many things that PGI could have spent the time and money on that would have actually improved the game instead of tossing it away of such a junk heap. hell the money could have been spent on some marketing to bring in new blood and it it would have had more worth than S7.

as for the coding yeah MWO is a mess as far as that goes so any real improvement will have to wait for the fabled MWO 2 (given the state of PGI we would have to wait for someone else to buy the license before that will ever happen.)

I think that many players expected something like the Solaris 7 tournament from MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. They got "Who deploys in the more meta 'Mech for the phone booth fight" game mode instead.

It might have worked if instead of 7+7 buckets for players to queue into, there had been one shared queue or maybe just 3 buckets.
