From the MWO Forums:

Phase 1: November 6th

Pre-made groups will be limited to a max of 4 players when playing in random public forums. This is a quick fix to ease the PUG vs PRE issues. We do not consider this a final, nor complete fix to matchmaking.

Phase 2: November 20th

Pre-Made groups will be able to match against other pre-made groups.

Min group size: 4 players
Max group size: 8 players
Class Matching: No
Uneven Teams: Yes

Phase 3: December TBD


Full implementation of our modified ELO matchmaking solution. Details forthcoming.

The bold is mine.

What I propose is a Phase 2 party. Specifically, an ALL Commando party!

The 4th Regulan Hussars are a lighter regiment in the lore, using quick strike tactics. As such I think we're well suited to host this silly little party. Don't worry if you don't want to buy a Commando, or just aren't interested. I am extending the invite to the general House. If we have more than eight, then thats great. We'll get a second group started.

• Rules:
  • You must use a Commando, no Jenners or wannabe-light-Cicadas.
  • If you're concerned about your Kill/Death ratio, this isn't the party for you.
  • If you are super worried about adding losses to your Win/Loss ratio, this isn't the party for you either.

Specific dates to be announced. Pending final confirmation of the Nov. 20th date for Phase 2.

If interested, please check in at this thread here.

Ill give it a try, may not be the best light pilot out there (Commandos, Jenners or Ravens and for that matter Cicadas) but what the hell, sounds fun.

Heh, I'd buy a commando just for that !!!

I could play a commando for a few days... though this might be a lot of fun to do with an all jenner team also...

lolz im down

I am totally into that!!!... Win/lost ratio can be fought back!!!

what's a K/D ratio and Win/Loss ratio anyways if I'm not having fun

I'm down, just need to build myself a commando

It is now the 20th. As soon as we test the idea out, we can set a day. I'd like it to be this weekend, if they're not jumping to Phase 3 too soon.

Sounds fun, Will give me a reason to bring out my Mini Atlas with LRMS

The 20th has come and gone and we still don't have Phase 2.

It has been delayed until December 4th. I suggest you start getting your Commandos ready.

Here's my recommended build:
Upgrades: Endo Steel, Ferro-Fibrous, Double Heatsinks
Engine: XL 210
Head: Empty, 18 points of armor
Right Arm: Streak SRM2 x2, 16 points of armor
