In the old times we didn't have commanders in QP either , but not sure why you think that remotely matters anyway.

in the old times, we had always commanders and it was very funny. We dont get this fun anymore since the player base is gone under 1k at the weekend. (steam charts measure only) And why it matters? because people playing for fun.
Such events like this one, scare away even more players.
sure, i can join a group, but i dont want. so i am dont playing this weekend. Like the half of our remaining playerbase. More time for other games, like Hunt Shodown, with the new engine.

Having fun so far, solo. It's been great to play 8v8 again.

I really wish the 8v8 was an optional game mode and something that wasn't forced. I play quickplay because I love the chaos of 12v12 where its generally fine if you stick with the team and just shoot at things without being forced to NEED a strategy beyond "group up and stay in a firing line" sometimes it gets more in depth if there's many people using VOIP in one match but that's generally rare. now with the 8v8, especially on the large maps that haven't been removed from the map queue, strategy is required far more especially with the possibility of fighting a team of full groups. which makes it super difficult for many players such as myself who don't have many friends who play the game and don't use VOIP to be able to play the game effectively. I don't see myself being very useful in any matches this weekend which is unfortunate because this is going to be the time where I can play the most during the week. what's done is done but I feel like it could have been done better with slightly more thought put into it

same for me. My friends dont playing this game anymore since years. In the QP 8v8 depends only on luck, if your side has ballanced lances. I played a few rounds, most of the time, one side has an adventage, depends on the groups. So i have to play this weekend something else. Thats the way, how can you get rid of the rest of your playerbase

UPDATE: 8v8 WILL make you reinvest in back armor. PPC Poptarters back in force.

[Dat Moe Foe]

What a joke! There is an event Q precisely for this kind of event. Why force 8v8 on the entire QP community FFS! This was definitely one of the kool komp kids ideas.

[Bud Crue]

In addition to the other complaints...the limit of 3 groups is not working. We dropped as a 4 no problem.

I like it.

I hate this event.

Right? Should be voluntary.

'An idea so good it has to be mandatory' never ever ever ever is a good idea.

Did you guys ever consider just making a DLC for mw5, so we have a whole new MWO instead of trying to keep this afloat with things like this? Most of the player base left when mw5 came out, it is spiritually MWO without the "O". I get bored with MW5 because it's the same thing over and over again, at least live opponents make it interesting. it might even breath life back into Faction play since the maps are all laid out already with borders.
8v8 kind of sucks IMHO matches are too fast que times are pretty much the same as 12v12.

It's interesting how the people constantly whining for about 12v12 aren't coming out to defend 8v8.

I would be happy with random 4v4, 8v8, 12v12 and even 16v16 if it was linked to map pool. Polar and terra for 16v16 for example, Solaris maps for 4v4, others inbetween.

[Half Ear]

Why not 10vs10, the Clan way?

I mean I still think it's better, I'm just not really interested in arguing on an announcement thread.

Seriously couldn't figure out a way to run this little event under, I dunno, the EVENT PLAY tab? Had to force it on everyone huh? Let me guess, "technical limitations"? Terrible.

[Strelok7]

Naaah, big mechy steel thumbs down for this event. Sorry.
16vs16 or 20vs20 is something I can get behind. On a big map. With extra cheese. And a Large Laser soda.

Even then, it should be an Event Queue.

[An6ryMan69]

Wow, just as terrible as the last time things were 8v8...it's a three day weekend where I live and there won't be much MWO going on, unfortunately.

And events should be in the EQ, where they can be opted into...or not.

[VaelophisNyx]

Event in the title yet not in the event queue where it belongs
curious choice PGI

Yeah the big maps are bad with 12v12. They are downright pants on head idiotic with 8.

This event is not fun
