Hi comrades,

I know, probably I expect far too much from a F2P game. Nevertheless, what kind of rendered cut-senes would you like to see in MWO?

I would like to see a couple of short 5-seconds-cut-scenes, because I think it would get me much more in the Battletech fantasy, than just appearing in the cockpit all of a sudden. The following is essential, imho.
  • Pilot (you) enters and shutts the cockpit of mech used
  • Pilot opening and leaving the cockpit of mech used
  • Dropship launches
  • Dropship dumps mechs
  • Dropship picks up actually used mechs after a successful mission
  • Lost fight animation (like a fly-by above destroyed, actually used mechs)
  • You get promoted (like rangs. Different houses = different animation set)
  • You win solaris match / lose solaris match
Would be awesome if we can get something like smoth animation->action tranfer.

While these sorts of things are cool the first couple of times, they quickly become unbearable to watch over and over again.

At least in my opinion.

Cut-scenes on/off switch would do the job, in case you are annoyed to watch them every time.

Actually what I meant was more like on-the-fly rendered scenes, not pre-rendered animations. They should differ a litte depending on mech, dye, badges, etc. you use. So you are not watching exactly one and the same content over and over.

I agree with you that there needs to be cut-scene animations in the opening and closing of the scenario and promotions, but i would also include mission briefings/debriefings and mission/fight won animations in your list along with voice overs and sound effects. Like in MW4:mercenaries Solaris VII competitions. Thank you for your post. <signed> DukeLeo

I would like something sort of long. One, maybe two minutes, as with the older Mechwarrior and Mechcommander games, and not made in the game engine, ideally involving live actors.

These sorts of things crop up on Youtube and tend to do well in marketing the game or setting when you link people to them
