Wait guys, they might mean UAV with command view or something. Regardless, stop whining until we actually have details.


How well does being a shill pay anyway? Or are you doing it pro bono?

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but 3rd Person is already in the game. They call it Mechlab view. Might as well pack up your bags and ragequit now.

game situation is pretty worrying; i wonder... if people made a mediatic fuss about simcity;

if things keep going this way maybe we should boycott the game by talking to game news outlets; so that the rep is so negative there would be a severe lack of new players joining

Yeah, but SimCity is well known, even among non-gamers. If Mechwarrior was that big a name some publisher would have funded Mechwarrior 5.

The worst second worst idea your studio has ever had.

this.
I hope your flood of non forumgoing fans stay with the game and dont bug out the second you cave to them. I really do.

I'm convinced that MWO and MWT are still just cash grabs to garner more money for another project.


Probably. Maybe they need more dollars before they can buy the MW4 license, so Paul can have the mechwarrior of his dreams, with all the coolant, the third person, the big audience, and everything else?

Because that was so successful with MW2.

And MW3.

And MW4...

And mechassault.

They just don't learn, do they? Or are they too dumb to learn? too desperate for money? Will the CoD audience eat this up? Is it like that time when they told us there's a HUGE number of people 'at conventions' who want to play, but not unless there's third person? I don't see those people give them 5 million on the basis of a dream.

Just a bunch of liars. Big egos, big words. No delivery, and no shame.

Why hint at things that may be when there are still glaring issues, bugs, and things needing fixing that may or may not be fixed? I still have top manually copy and paste a actionmaps.xml every time I turn the game on just to throttle up and down on a joystick because of this patch, and they are busy hinting at "new and exciting" 3rd person and MC ammo. Fix the WWWWWWWWW, fix the collisions, fix the game before asking us to pay more money for anything.

Yeah, because I'm a founder and everything. I'm using common sense. Getting nerdarged because of something very vague you read in a twitter screenshot makes you look like an ***** and doesn't help game development.

I'm still waiting for you to have common sense.

Well, if your view was restricted to what you can actually see out your cockpit? All the mechs just appearing next to you would be so annoying everyone would just turn it off. :(

So it would either be completely pointless or not third person at all?

Having a huge number of pretend people at "conventions" would be a neat trick, seeing as MWO isn't at anything except a token presence at PAX.

Nice comeback. So that's a no eh?

P.S. So ashamed of your Founder tag you had to hide it?

This is another Glaring example of PGI/IGP lack of PR/Community Management .. Something as polarizing as this should not be put onto twitter. Things shouldn't be be said offhand without an official word either yay or nay.

It would tell you where you were facing, compared to your torso. So useful for a new player.

We have numerous on screen hud indicators for that. A simple tutorial to point them out to new players would be more than sufficient. Introducing 3rd person to teach players about torso/leg orientation is like using a wrecking ball to swat a fly.

May I assume no one going nuts over this knows how WoT's 3rd person view functions and if applied to MWO would deny many if not possibly all advantages gained from 3rd person in a 'Mech?

It's amazing isn't it?

And yet 'the fans' will erect a shield around PGI.

"Hey man, stop harshing their vibe!"

"Why do guys have to keep pointing out all the flubs marketing/PR makes, don't you love this game?"
