So let me give you this little nugget of info I "acquired" from Comstar intelligence.
~
Clan Invasion will occur during a popular (however completely irrelevant) event at peak time when total amount of active players is relatively high. (20% c-bill boost and exp bonus weekend for everyone + free cockpit item for some inferior achievement).
Player matches that are halfway through completion (2~3 mechs dead on either team or +/- 2~3 minutes into match) will pause.
A video transmission will appear on Hud. Comstar will appear on screen, pleading the mechwarrior player to ally with the enemy team (This will occur during CW matches where Kurita Vs Steiner and so on). Clan dropships will land outside map boundaries, Clan mechs will then enter the map from various angles. The mechwarrior pilot's camera will move and display the events unfolding in a scenic maneuver. Another video transmission will appear on HUD. It's the clans.
A Star Colonel of XYZ Clan will warn the mechwarrior pilots to surrender or be destroyed.
Match will then unpause and all hostile triangles on both teams will turn blue. The objective is to either destroy all incoming clan mechs (extremely unlikely but possible) or wait until help can arrive (2~5 minutes). Hostile stock clan mechs piloted by AI and commanded by a developer will then move in Clan like patterns and act in accordance with Clan combat styles. The clan mechs will proceed to slowly wipe all IS mechwarrior pilots from the match.

Bring it!
