Won't Be Playing Solo Any Longer.

Being teamed up with a bunch of new solo players, while solo, is so badly unbalanced at this point that the game is not fun in either Conquest or Assault mode. If you happen to get dropped on the side with a 4-man team, then you steamroll the other team; if not, you're the last man standing because all of the newbies have been slaughtered.
This is not some new problem, players have been complaining about the matchmaking for months. I hope PGI makes it a priority, because the people I have asked to try out the game have all bailed out on me - only one even lasted long enough to try teamspeak.
PGI needs to match solo vs solo and teams vs teams, no matter the team sizes. If solo players want to volunteer to fill in team vs team modes, great! Forcing solo players to play against teams is just unfair and a silly way to have designed the matchmaking in the first place.

It's being worked on.
No amount of threads will make it come any sooner.

'Die with Honor! DIE WITH GLORY!' and try to take one down with me. If I'm going to die, I might as well tear up the enemies as much as possible

Only because of your obvious hypocrisy.
You know how people complain, then people complain about them complaining, and people complain about those people complaining?
Yeah, those people suck.

It can't come soon enough, and I haven't seen any details that lead me to believe the Matchmaker Phase 3 will be solving the solo vs solo problem. If anything I'm expecting weight limits and such with 8v8. I realize matchmaking is being worked on, it's the solo vs solo aspect that seems to have been ignored that concerns me.

Seems to me that this game wont last long.
Hopefully someone will do a real Mech Warrior in the near future...with good storybased singleplayer and balanced multiplayer.
Waiting for this game for so long and then reading something like this...sry,but next time do a fullprice game and stop doin free2play games.
Im outa here

Matchmaker phase 3 is planned to include:
ELO based matchmaking
Modifiers to ELO score for being in a group
possibly modifiers to ELO score based on mech

Matchmaking phase 3 will address the 'solo vs solo' (I am assuming you mean regular pug drops by this) and probably the 8vs8 as well. Let's see how it works out before we ragequit.

From what I've heard there has never been balanced multiplayer at anytime in the history of Mechwarrior. Or Battletech for that matter. Unless If by balanced you mean everyone played the same few optimal mechs/builds.

More fool you to give up on something based on others opinions, yet having never tried yourself. I PUG, 75% or more of the time, and while I do get rolled on occasion I also have many fun matches.

Been saying this for ages, I shudder to think how many people these ***** clans have driven away from this great game. I wish they had the balls to fight eachother in the 8 v 8 game mode that was made for them, instead they steamroll newbies for theis stupid W/L ratio so they can ********** over it.

I've been playing solo almost constantly for the past several days. Getting steamrolled isn't occasional for one side. Like I said, if you happen to drop on the side that has a team, you do the steamrolling, otherwise the other side does the steamrolling. The rare match is where neither side steamrolls the other. Those are the fun matches, but they are far too rare. Far, far, too rare.
