So this bears the question, when will it be released? Calvin? Any one?
So...I'm at work with a strict project deadline staring me in the face so let me instead jump on this post because this trumps it!
Without any information on the make-up of squad wars and how it will look I would assume it would look just like what we have now (same map and games) with added controls on who enters the game (or maybe even a separate game option). Maybe a squad holding area until enough members join in? I would also assume that the games would only allow the same number of players in so the concept of 20 v 20 is probably out. Basically the first 5 or so MOMs go in against the first 5 or so Enigmas. Maybe a new ranking list for squads (at least I would hope so). Anyway, this is how I would do it with the minimum amount of impact on my servers and code (most bang for the buck).
If my assumptions hold then it would seem that the squads that keep their memberships small and have committed top aces playing a lot would do the best. I guess what I'm saying is that MOM really messed up by letting me in!
Strategy, which is where I would think our age would benefit us, may not be such a big factor in this game.
All just assumptions and theory at the moment but something to discuss and it sure beats my now missed deadline.
