Since RnR is gone, what is stopping the team from implimenting a TDM mode?

Now there is absolutely no reason nor excuse for not having this game mode put in the game. It will give MWO that beautiful multiplayer feel that every good game has.

Everyone has a choice too! that's the Beauty. TDM for all round madness, Assault for tactical base capture and conquest mode which I suppose is a mix of the two without a respawn...

Personally, sitting in a 20 minute match trying to snag as many kills as I can while everyone is going all out with their style and solo builds sounds like damn good fun.

Create seperate leaderboards as well as the faction stuff in the future. Scrims and what-not can be done in both the conquest and assault modes imo.

Keeping a leaderboard for every faction will show which faction holds the best pilots

Haha, it will be a lot of fun.

Let me get this straight first... are you saying that you want a TDM mode with respawns?

Aww you're no fun... It's not like anyone is FORCING you to play it, rofl...

[Salamander Z]

Are you asking for a re-spawn TDM? If so, I would have no problem with them putting one in as long as it gave No exp and No money as rewards.

[Zero Neutral]

TDM mode, yes
TDM mode with respawns AWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELLLLLLLLLLLLL NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[ApheX]

Sorry OP, but I'd hate it if this was added to MWO. Mechwarrior is not COD or an FPS, it a simulator. TDM has no place here.

[Radbane]

I'm for TDM, but just don't call it that. Call it Elimination or Stand-off or something like that... and NO respawns. That's a big nono on the respawns. Nej! Njet, Nicht!

I imagine it to be an arena for already completed and built mechs. I don't see why earning money from it would be an issue if the money was naturally insignificant but I don't see a benefit either, so yeah why not, no cash.

The incentive, as you probably noticed, is not to do with money but to do with leaderboard and rank, and also accumulated house rank and points.

I remember enjoying the mode in MW4 over the zone network. It had a market then, and was actively played for fun. Scrims and duels were done in a different mode and for the life of me I can't remember the name.

Also, without re-spawns, it's assault with no caps... 24 players a side, a large map, and skilled pilots.

"simulator"
I laughed.

Seems like everyone forgot the elusive dropship mode which the devs announced some time ago.

It will allow respawns, with different mechs too.

So there you have it, fight it all you want but respawns are coming, sooner or later.

[Critical Fumble]

The current game mechanics make death significant because your team loses your eyes and firepower, respawns would negate that to some extent.

Now if you wanted an insane volume of violence on a map; you could set a mode up so that a few dozen lances were in a queue to be dropped as people died, and the game went on until one side was entirely dead, or an abstract objective was completed.

I didn't forget, I just never knew.

Well, I guess something good is coming our way.

Wicked...

[Sp4wNers]

TDM of course, but not with respawns. This isn't Hawken.

Hey wow that doesn't sound too bad.

Your pilot respawns, but not your 4 mechs that you choose

[Aym]

Short answer No.

Less short answer: Drop Ship Mutator will be the closest thing this game ever gets to TDM (I hope)

Call it Solaris 7 and keep it on that planet.

Considering where this game is going with the new incoming patch, i have a better suggestion, which probably will make EVERYONE happy:

Death Match Free For All.

- Pugs don t want to "communicate or play as a team"
- Teams are now embracing the 4 Atlas 1 CTF 3 Raven formation to get the job done
- New Economy will pay for your Rank at the end of game, revolving vs Assists and Kills (remember, assist doesn t count if you don t actually KILL that mech, therefore all revolves around KILLs really)

So, with that said, why don t introduce what the mass really wants?

16 ppl Arena, free for all (no teams). Get in and just liberate your Carnage instinct. Respawn can be enabled or disabled.

How do u like this? is this closer to your concept of MWO ?

[Pr8Dator]

Assault is the TDM mode from tomorrow onwards (no respawn of course, sorry CODFanboys!). No more capping. Points come solely from killing. Capping only in conquest mode.
