I want FFA, Team FFA, and CTF to appear in mwll.

I ENVISION SPAWNING IN, HAVING UNLIMITED FUNDS AND ACCESS TO ALL EQUIPMENT THEN ZERGING OUT WITH GUNZ A BLAZIN'.

How bout dem applez?

Would you be amenable to having tonnage limits?

Well, a very interesting question.

FFA = B (battle)
TB = Team Battle
In Mercs presently, there is a ton of different game types as well:

D, TD, CTF, McRugby, KOTH, TKOTH, AG, TAG, Steal the Bacon, Goliaths...perhaps a few more.

All of these are implemented by scripts. The map also has some features that are generated specific to the type of game played on them as well, and these features must be built in when the map is made - of course.

One of the reasons that I was asking in another thread (http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/forum/index.php/topic,2251.0.html) about map generation was this specific topic.

The short answer is: I want FFA and TB...BUT:

The question is: What's it gonna take to get that in the game?

My preference is to have you guys have a product released on time. I want *something*. I think everyone knows that it will not be "complete".

If it means getting MWLL sooner - I would vote just for TB at first. And that reminds me of another question I had...see the thread I started on bots in the tech section.

FFA is always a good idea, but keep the focus on teamplay. While FFA was fun and fundamentally sound in vanilla crysis, I'm not sure mechwarrior will really lend itself to a great FFA experience. It could be very rough, and at times highly irritating to be insta-owned by random Mk II's and Fafnirs while engaged in an intense duel with another player in a light or medium 'mech  - it could potentially ruin the fun.

Teamplay is where I think this mod will shine anyways - the team that coordinates best together will always prevail, and in the process some very intense battles could be fought. Free for all is just a lot of action (which is great) but doesn't deliver the same experience as a team game does.

Can people please repost this to other Mech sites and leagues? Currently it's been posted on Mektek, Netbattletech and Shacknews..

It however has not been posted to any other league sites or MechStorm (I don't have an account) and could use more votes!

I think FFA is great and all just for messin' around and some quick fun but team play should FAR outweigh it in importance.  So my answer is, FFA if you can do it on time but if not, patch FFA in later and go straight for the teamplay first.  Keep on it and don't give up, we're all rootin' for you guys!

I'm here for the BBQ and K F*cking C.
