A free for all!

I can just imagine it now: 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 !

Or not- Team play is much more entertaining.

Free for all is rarely so, there always alliances untill the end and if u are not part of of one then u dont last long.

Team play is a lot fairer

I mean FFA is cool, I like vicious destruction, but what I have not seen is something like a grand melee, no respawn 20 go in one comes out, best wat to earn a blood name and have it where they sit in game lobby till next round or do a camera on the fight while they wait and no instant join of new players in round, in stead of just going in and cranking out kills, you kinda want to be king of the hill at the end so tactics change

Just a FYI for those wondering, what we have implemented is team FFA in our gamemode called "Solaris Arena."  Any map prefixed by SA_ is a solaris arena map.  While technicly solaris arena should be in a arena and usually a duel according to lore, we are simply adopting the name for team vs. team combat where the overall objective is to eliminate each other.  However some maps may/are in a arena as per fluff. Sorry of thats confusing we just had to come up with a name besides "Team FFA"

And not All arenas LOOK like arenas either

I voted, “reraly play FFA”

That said though, I think it’s needed at some point, if not in the first releace.

Even if you don’t normally play FFA, it’s still useful for practice and unit scrims and the like.

Yes, hopefully the release date won't be delayed too much to appease the minority who feel FFA is a MUST for the first release.

we just need the release///no pun intended  ;D

Although I almost NEVER play FFA games when I can keep from it (I'm a team objective kinda guy), FFA seems to be an important thread to the culture of BattleTech.  Solaris Arena, Clan Trials, etc.  I think getting to open beta sooner with only team-modes is far more important, but it could be of "emotional" benefit to have FFA available at some point IF it could evoke that feeling us uber-nerds get when we read the novels about "one man fighting for his life and dreams in a battle royale of steel and fire".

I certainly have no intention of offending the worthy FFA fans, but it was never really my cup of tea.  I was always a fan of cooperative, strategic, and goal-oriented play.  I got bored quickly with FFA.  In fact, we would usually use a storyline of some kind, with a league goal any time we used FFA, such as clan ranking qualification.  Just my 1.156 cents (adjusted for recession).

FFA doesn't seem to fit the MWLL you devs had in mind.  Seriously, what would be the point of support vehicles, infantry, etc if it was FFA?  Everyone would jump into a mech and start hammering it out.  Besides, anyone can gun for themselves...this get's old real quick as the only tactics involved are survival.  Add team play and you are looking at even greater challenges for the teams. 

Sure, make an FFA map or two to slate the blood lust but leave MWLL on the track that it started with.  Team play FTW.   :)

FFA...not FAA.  Free For All (everyone for themselves) vs Team Play (2 teams against each other).

Just a thought...but you could read the posts in a thread before commenting...just a thought...
