You must be one of "those" that call a mercenary REGIMENT a clan. How quaint.

Factions are there as lore right now, if any faction sounds right with you by all means join it, but you have alot to choose from IF you even want to choose one at all. Heres some links to some of the major factions.
Federated Suns AKA Davions:

Draconis Combine AKA Kuritans:

Lyran Commonwealth AKA Steiners:

Free Worlds League AKA Marikans:

Free Rasalhague Republic:

Capellan Confederation AKA Capelans:

These will be the foremost factions in the current game set, ofc you will have the clans invading in 3049 and there it becomes a little more complicated to explain to a new player who and what they are since they are so complex but i'm at your disposal to help you just PM me and i'll try and shorten it.

For myself, I belong to a single unit. I am loyal to the guys facing down the charging enemy, whomever that might be today, right beside me. I belong to a group who will watch my back, even follow me when I do something completely stupid just because they are not going to leave me alone in the teeth of the enemy.
So, what is the point of the factions? If you have to ask that question...there really is not one.

1. On the House Marik forum I like to contribute, talk about the Free Worlds League and so forth. So there's the forum community side of things. On this forum sometimes I see that people have questions about the FWL as a faction and I try to help and answer them. This is particularly true since I have a pretty good collection of BT sourcebooks, field manuals and so forth.
2. Going into a match, I do look for fellow "Purple Eagle" players on both teams. Sometimes I actually see someone that I know from the forums.
3. I've experimented with mimicking some of the canon FWLM paint schemes in MWO and posted pics on the forums to share. Right now I don't have any such paint schemes permanently on my mechs but someday I might take that plunge.
That's it. RIght now it has no other significance for me. I'm not part of any specific active unit or anything like that.

Also, I would say the community aspect may be important to some players. It certainly enriches my game that I can feel like a part of the Kurita faction here.

I know Wolf's Dragoons are cool and all but people should stop copying them.

Well, think of it as either 1.) selecting which side of the FedCom/AFFC you're coming from (that is, would you have originally been an AFFS MechWarrior or a LCAF MechWarrior before becoming an AFFC MechWarrior), or 2.) which side you would support in the FedCom Civil War (FS = Victor, LC = Katherine). Or a bit of both (1) and (2)...
