I've tried searching but nothing came up. I think it would be cool if they did have the Solaris Arenas in, that way if non of your lance mates are on you can enter the free for all for a chance at the Grand Champion title. Duke it out with fellow lights, mediums, heavies or assaults.

Or just using it as a way of having rankings.

Others would be able to spectate and perhaps wager some c-bills?

yes, eventually

I remember in one thread it was discussed but said will not be in at launch. Maybe not even first couple updates. They have alot of mechs and battlefields to put in place first. Then the clans come into the picture in the not to distant future. I think they will like to have it in, but they need to get the main parts up and running first.

That's true. I've recently been playing MW4 Mercs so it's fresh in my mind.

I for one would love to see this added to the game

I would imagine relatively speaking it would be easy to implement. I don't know how the maps for planet battles will work, whether you have generic tundra map for ice worlds and it's the same every time. But anyways, you'd have to make the four arena maps and the lobbying system for it. Would be a great mode to just jump into after a **** day at work or something.
Not sure how the scoring system would work, couldn't have it based on Kill/death ratio, nor on last man standing as someone could just hide for the match. hmmm.

Sounds like a cool concept, but rather than ranking specific to solaris I think id would be cool if they had some solaris specific mechs that you could earn by getting kills/being the last one standing.

I would totally love to see Solaris make it into MW:O and I like the idea of being able to wager game currency on the outcome

I hope the developers can put this into the game at some point, I don't really think it is a feature that is necessary for launch.

SEARCH HARDER!!!

It was mentioned (hinted at) in an interview actually but not as a feature, more or less a wishlist thing I think. They mentioned wanting some melee as a specific planet certainly demanded it. Obviously the planet was Jupiter.

I would love to see a Solaris but I would love to see it sort of like how it was done in Mercenaries. Wouldn't want to see it as the name of some unranked mode though. You'd have to have seasons, rankings, etc. I do think it would be interesting if it could be deep enough that you could spend nearly if not all your play time there instead of in the galactic conquest meta-game.

In both MechWarrior 2 and 4 Mercenaries Solaris 7 was included. There was a HUGE thread about it being included and the majority of people agreed that if it wasn't included at launch (which is most likely will not) it SHOULD very much so be included somewhere down the road. It leads to too many new game types, tournaments, E-Sports type, etc. to not be included.

Also, there was a Poll asking for if people would like it in the game or not. I think it was something overwhelming around 99% said it should be included.

Welcome to MW:O Sears.

Please read the Dev blogs, Q&A's and the "New players start here" thread.

The game will launch with 12v12 and hot drops.

Other modes will be announced and implemented as development continues.

Enjoy!

Closing thread.
