Happy to see a new game mode going in (regardless of any flaws with it), I can see how the dropship mutator might work out now as well, giving people a somewhat limited respawn capability.

I swear, people will find a way to ***** no matter what happens.

This game mode will eliminate the lamest part of Assault currently: sneaky ECM base rushes where the game ends in 3 minutes without either team firing a shot.

Because whiners like him get more enjoyment from crying about the game than actually playing it.

I'm looking forward to Capture and Hold.. er "Conquest" mode but those rewards for win/losses have me a bit worried. The win/loss rewards should be at least what you can get out of Assault mode otherwise... why play this mode again? When Assault would be more profitable?

Unless of course the match durations are such that it's basically proportionately the same...

You really need to get out and play more games.

Haha, I apologize for my lack of knowledge about how the world out there works. I clearly don't get out enough! Oh wait. m)

Note that I didn't complain about the game mode being there, nor the fact that it is identical to the one from MWLL. In fact I wished they had put it in from the beginning. I merely complained about the name being inappropriate. I think it is overblown. The fact that Wikipedia tells me Battlefield introduced that name might explain it but it doesn't change my assessment in the least.

Guys, the Germanium bonus is obviously in addition to the normal match credits you get at the end of Assault mode. Otherwise nobody would play it.

Seriously, we're complaining about the name of the mode now? I swear, people on the forums will find anything to cry about.

Hey, it was one remark out of four. Ask that other guy why he got hung up on it

I know people are saying it 'won't work' with no respawns.

Chromehounds' one game mode was similar to this, with no respawns, and it worked pretty well.

[FunkyFritter]

With everyone still having the standard 1 life it doesn't sound like much will change. Still, it will be nice to try something different.

[Chrithu]

Sounds fun. Looking forward to testing it. Though I believe this is a gamemode predestined for 12 man teams so you can send a lance to each of the three collectors.

Also I am a bit worried about the rewards. If the payout for the germanium is the only base rewards this gamemode cannot be profitable if you win but get destroyed.

I thought this game mode was going to make use of the "Ready" mechs.

This match type would really benefit from limited respawns.

Remember that "Dropship mode" is coming soon. All good things come in time.

On the contrary, the fact that deaths will still be permanent in MWO will drastically alter how Conquest in MWO is played vs MWLL/any other respawn multiplayer game. Sadly I feel this fact will make the intricacies of base control a distant second to simply blasting people apart. In the end, we may jujst get a failed game mode to replace our current failed game mode.

I completely agree with this, we will probably find with light mechs there will be a bit more running around with some games hitting the 750 cap and others just being attrition. As the weights move up on group composition I fear the rate that matches are won by elimination wil also. I know people are against respawn but it's going to limit game options for sure.

Still faster to run a trialmech on a sucide quest...

Agreed. Every dimwitted "Loser" that is currently doing that, they may carry on...

I'll just leave this here....

[Ransack]

Yay! Something different. I'd like for there to be a no respawn option IF there is a respawn option added. Looking forward to trying it out.

[steelblueskies]

yay. because we absolutely needed yet more turret defense with the turrets removed.

wtb static weapon emplacements that only come online while friendlies are outside of x range of the defended point, so snipers and assaults have their real purpose in life back. to smash through hostile space towards guns that can't flank them, and have enough offensive/defensive mileage to make it work.

continues to wait until more devs actually spend significant quality time in assaults instead of fast movers.

Yeah apparently they missed the memo. I wanna play that conquest mode, rather than this capture the square x5. It actually sounded interesting and fun.

This could be cool, but im curious this sounds more like wins by reaching point cap will be rare because maps are not that big. But thats just my opinion. I am looking forward to see how this turns out once its playable. So only choice is to wait now^^
