I was wondering what game types they are planning to implement. and what kind of games the community wanted to see.

I am sure it is a long way off but once the game is off the ground have they announced how it will work in general. too bad it is so close to the clan mechs coming, I was hoping we would fight as inner sphere for awhile.

So far the only other game type i could find, other than the one we have all been slogging through , is dropships (rejoin the game after you get cored). more like a slayer thing i think.

I would want the game to be winning at certain missions on a planet would win some control over that planet or sector

Oh the vehicle support idea would be great if it came in care packages on a great big map, ammo crates, repair stations... ah man the possibilities.

I made this because i am sick of ECM debate and Hero mech price discussions

Conquest
Target Date: December 18th - 90%
Status: Play Testing, Additional Feature Work
Notes: Requires balancing, HUD improvements,


Dropship mutator is supposed to be coming along soon after as well (maybe Jan?)

I'd like to see most of the modes you mention as well though in the fullness of time

PvE/Campaign mode. I have zero interest in anything else.

[Max Power]

Pretty much anything besides base capping.

[Wolf Ender]

Team Deathmatch

erm... you do know that this game is almost certainly never going to be anything other than PvP right?

Didnt they mention considering the clans to be NPC when they first arrive?

After all battle armor support is intrinsic to clan combat style and I have no idea how they would work that in on a player team

OT: that defend/siege idea would be awesome

I liked all the ideas posted except for 3rd person and dropship. 3rd person takes away the whole "this is a simulator game" in my opinion, and I don't think multiple lives work with this game. I can see the multiple lives thing turning into 1 teams wuins the other, other team respawms in fresh mechs then ruins the other team who is damaged, and essentially last team to repsawn wins. Just my opinion but like I said, I don't think it will work.

That's not exactly true, they just couldn't get funding for the PvE aspect.

The problem is that neither I nor most of my friends will spend any money on a pure PvP game.

Current game made is extremely generic and I imagine that is why it was chose as the default for beta. It'll be really nice to get something different for a change; 95% chance for conquest on Dec.18.

As for the rest of the poll, I don't see this game heading towards any modes that involve interaction with an NPC or bot so I wouldn't hold my breath for any of the escort type stuff. Could be cool if they made it work, but I think we are mostly going to see more team deathmatch plus a secondary objective type modes.
