Alright, since many corps are growing on the idea of honor matches, I think it would be a good idea to set up corp match alt modes. Here are the ones I've thought up:

Infantry Ambush: Infantry only, no taking objectives. This effectively makes it a 120 vs 120 ambush match with the MCC's firing on each other being the time keeping method. (MCC's do shoot and damage each other, the null cannons just speed up the damage process)

Light Attack Mode: Infantry and LAV's only

Padded Light Attack Mode: Infantry & LAV's only, only blaster turrets allowed

Half Padded Infantry, Air and LAV: LAV's, Infantry, Dropships, but Dropships can only have blaster turret

Padded Infantry, Air and LAV: LAV's, Infantry, Dropships, but Dropships and LAV's can only have blaster turret

Padded Full Attack: all vehicles, only blaster turrets on all vehicles

Militia Infantry Only: Militia dropsuits, militia weapons, whatever you can fit on the suit besides that.

I am not a fan of resticting what can and cannot be used in a match. I prefer a more sandbox approach and not knowing what the other side is going to bring - it allows for couterpunches and surprise which are invaluable on a battlefield. And more fun.

Easy solution,don't play those modes then.

I'm not the biggest fan of them either(sorry Overlord) but I do think that they would be a good change of pace every once in a while.Also,I think that they would be great for casuals and beginners giving them a better jumping off point for when they may be ready to roll with the big boys.

So while I probably wouldn't play them as much,I do think that it's a pretty good idea.

Edit: As I say in a post below: Since there are no real game modes to choose from, we can make our own using honor fights between corps. If you find them boring or nonsense, that is just fine, you are not obligated to participate. This is for those who have already shown interest in it. It in no way affects you in the slightest.

And @ Free Healing, Blasters get no love, buffed ones can wreak some havoc too ^^

This was never meant for everyone, just for those who are in smaller corps who wish to tool around with the mechanics. This also allows corps to try out new tactics without being blasted down by flying death bombs mid run.
