If the Hot Drop begins with character introductions, then proceeds with an adventurous quest that evolves into a multi-pronged story of love, war, and survival, followed by an exciting conclusion that hinges upon all the various storyforks coming together at once... then, yes, Hot Drops will be epic.

Couldn't agree more.

We're just gonna have to wait for a day when "epic" is no longer ""epic"". (notice the double double quotes). You know what I mean!

Also, love the sense of scale as the hoist operator is looking down on top of the Mech. You couldn't get a sense of the Mech's size from the pilot's POV because you were in an enclosed area, but I think they might have hit the nail on the head with sense of scale.

After I saw that, my roommate tho I won the lottery, literally.

Great Job guys! The thing gave me chills and even though I despite assault mechs, it made me really want to be in that Atlas! And I cant wait for a hot drop!

What trailer?

I hope it is warm-up trailer, before GDC. Waiting is killing me, I hope for more videos than this (gameplay etc.).

I laughed so hard. I mean the insight into the cockpit interior was nice but all I could think of was the funny picture of Orbital Drops, there is the wrong way then there is the Steiner way, which is the wrong way but with Assault Mechs.

Maybe an orbital bombardment with 100 ton of scrap metal directly to the head is efective enough

I would have been SEVERELY disappointed if they did not do this. MWLL is simply a mod, and they have achieved this. For MWO not to, well would have not been to goo

With currently technology, and the level of depth gamers [mech ones anyway] expect, it would be almost akin to suicide for PGI to not to include that at some level. I think they will though, haven't been disappointed so far by them, well except for that whole 2009 trailer thing, and then silence for 2 whole years.

, that quote gets me everytime.

The only thing I'm wondering about is why wasn't this/a link posted in a newsfeed, but merely on failbook?
Assuming it actually is an official trailer, this is significant news, why hide it?

you guys overloaded sarna.net. ;P

I was thinking the same thing. We need to have a fundraiser for those guys to upgrade their servers before they really get swamped in the coming months. Or ya know, stop linking to them so much.

It is not painted blue, so it is not from high orbit, just flying above the ground really, really high.

P.S. When I think of it, red is a color of two sides. Daviots and Kuritans. And since devs are mostly Kuritans and Daviots should not drop into Steiner territory,....

I'm in middle of my Bachelor studies and I have first exams in middle of March ... damn you guys, why did this game not come 3 years ago when I was kicking my but? Why oh why?

Didn't see that, the first one hundred times I watched the trailer. Good catch man!

Lets hope your dean is a Mechwarrior fanatic, then.

MW2 computer voice FTW!

[Hannes]

Since the location is clear the IRC came to the conclusion that its most likely the Second Sword of Light.

Half the people in the thread noticed it, but apparently no one reads. Hooray for the screenshot, maybe everyone else will see it.

I was so excited about the hula action that I didn't realize there was another 'Mech on screen, when I first watched the trailer

[Vernius Ix]

You log out for two hours and you miss everything...Having just watched the trailer several times back to back, all I can says is I am currently hard.

I'd be disappointed if the hula girl didn't become a staple addition to the mechwarrior franchise here on in.

It's like PGI saying "WE WOZ ERE, SHOW RESPECT YO!"

Opposite for me. Wasn't till someone pointed it out, on my second watch of it that I noticed it.
