The fact that 4 players are needed for a DM makes it REAALLY hard to get a DM going. I think the minimum should be reduced to 3 players.  The fact you need 4 players has basically killed DM. It is nearly impossible to get on going.

The minimum should be 1. Don't want to start, then wait in the lobby for other players, but want to explore the maps.......go ahead and start a solo match.........just like it always was.

What little appeal I had for DM, gone.

Next thing you know, you can't start TDM without full teams.

For as long as I could remember there was no pilot number requirement for DM, and then suddenly last major patch it was put in without explanation or anything else.

I used to be able to do one on one training, small special matches, and explore maps, and now I am unable to do any of that, and rarely find a DM anymore, due to the 4 man pilot requirement.

In other words, get rid of it!

i hope they remove the queue and implement a rewards gate for less than 4 players.

like
if (playerCount < 4)
   #HAWKENCREDITACCRUAL = 0;
   #EXPBONUSESACCRUAL = 0;
else
   #HAWKENCREDITACCRUAL = 1;
   #EXPBONUSESACCRUAL = 1;

All this has been said a million times I just hope the Devs are listening and restore the 1 option which starts immediatly then people will join more easily if they see the game is active.
All the alternative use options also return.
Lets Hope sanity prevails!

Just another poor decision by the devs. I've stopped wondering and worrying about the direction the game goes to altogether.
