I know the dev team is buissy sorting things out and we are still a long way of seeing a new game mode but i am still putting this out there and plant a seed for ideas.

 

I came up with an idea whilst playing pve missions in Armored Warfare. I was playing a mission in PVE and i thought wouldn't it be cool to have coöp missions in Hawken. Now i hear you saying: "But Chocksa, don't we allready have PVE coöp missions in the form of coöp bot destruction?" to wich the answer in my opinion is no. 

 

With coöp missions i mean for instance:

  • Take control of an EU source in enemy hands and defend it till drones drain it for every last drop of EU.
  • Defend the EU transport from ambush
  • Steal blueprints of a prototype weapon and destroy the prototype the enemy has developed wich is being guarded in that highly defended weapons research facility and escape.
  • Recover the data core from the crashed airship

Now these mission will be on a timer of course. Each mission will take around 15 minutes and they can be done in various difficulty settings. Easier settings will have more enemy drones and less mechs. The harder settings will have more enemy mechs and less drones. Each mission will be done in a 5 man team and there are no respawns in this mode. If you die you can't be resurrected wich promotes tactical gameplay.

 

In terms of location of these missions and why i say this is more of an idea for the long term. Some missions can be created on modified versions of the excisting maps whilst others need completely unique maps. This would obviously take up a lot of time that at the moment is better spent elsewhere but, i am willing to wait for this type of game mode. What do you guys think.

It's been discussed before, but the only real conclusion is that there is a lot of work to be done before this happens.

 

Balance is going to take a very very long time to take care of, and even when the game is polished, superfluous AI matches wouldn't add as much depth as new mechs, customization options or maps.

another thing... just a side thought, as then the games MAY be a little too hard to find as players maybe scattered to much with the small player base...

 

though fresh would be nice, i think new game modes are one of the smaller priorities atm..

 

people are more intrested in:

 

1:anticheat

2:new mechs

3:new maps

 

in my opinion at least

i got one how about a tug of war power stuggle kind like chivalry but involving eu, battleships, silos that target mechs, general wackiness, and a player with the most kills when the "king" round comes around could be given a mech of fully random setup (ex: vanguard, reaper ability, vulcanXT, saare) for salty-fun nonsense
