a idea for yet another game mode
« on: August 26, 2010, 10:50:27 AM »
how about a modified test of strength mode that is team based. basicly players on a team have pool of money to buy mechs and if you go over buget the negitive amount is placed on that teams score? anyhoo :)

 Same problem as with team tickets mode: one moron could ruin team score by buying atlas and dieing 10 times in a row without landing any hit on a single enemy.

The purpose being...?  Scores don't matter in pub games, and the game type wouldn't really fit into league play.

I can't imagine this would work on pub servers, but I think it could be workable as a league alternate ticket system, effectively. At least, if spawning in with a basic BA loadout cost something. Shrug.

Sort of "Team funds TOS".

Ahh leave his idea alone.  It's a great idea in the world of theory but would fail miserably in public practice.

Why not implement it anyway. Just because it doesn't work in a PUB sense, doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice for a league game.
