Yes, it should go back to the glory days of Close Beta when everything was more fun and we had total control over the gamemode we played....



oh, wait.



Picking game mode was a new thing put in by UI 2.0 which was, apparently, the devil.



Except that I guess.



Think of it as training for CW. If having to play a different gamemode than you like is a life-shattering experience and leaves you an emotional cripple my suggestion would be to set the game aside for a while, because you're being silly.



We got spoiled. CW isn't going to let you pick how you want to play in terms of mode or location. You won't even be able to bring just the mechs you want. If we can't learn to deal with a few curveballs then we should just ask PGI to shelve CW until we're a better, more flexible and more competent community.



This isn't an example of PGI making a mistake it's an example of the community being too absurd to be able to handle something like what CW is going to be. Anyone who is actually dropping out of a game because it's not the gamemode they want needs to be kept out of the pool who will end up playing CW - where winning/losing will have consequence.



My big concern now is that when CW hits and win/loss starts to matter that I might end up with someone that fragile on my team. How about this - people can 'opt in' to a hard-choice on game mode but they are, in turned, locked out of CW.



That seems like a good solution to me.
