New Modes and Maps oh my!

We have new queues for Matchmaking, both on the PvE side and PvP. While these should mostly work the same as they have in the past, a key difference is it is easier to change what your group wants to do.

addedWe have new queues for Matchmaking, both on the PvE side and PvP. While these should mostly work the same as they have in the past, a key difference is it is easier to change what your group wants to do. If you start by inviting a friend directly, or get matched with them, you can change your minds and play a different mode or game type.
changedThat sounds minor, but the reason we did this is to lay the groundwork for Custom Games! Yes we are bringing back truly custom games and all the options from years ago. Yes, this also means the ability to browse Custom games, and play user made maps.
addedFor what is new it depends if you have been keeping up with the Reboot or not. The goal of Reboot is to bring the best parts of AirMech Arena (the console version) and AirMech Wastelands (the paid game) into the F2P version of AirMech--known going forward as just AirMech . AirMech Strike was extremely PvP focused, so by dropping the second name we hope it is clear this is the one true AirMech going forward.
