I hope that I’m not breaking any forum rules and such but I have been thinking of a type of game that I think would be a lot more fun than the pug drops. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that the cryengine 3 can’t handle my idea. Maybe though if enough people like the idea PGI could maybe pursue it as a separate game later on. In addition, any Mod reading this, is this the right place for a game suggestion to PGI? Moreover, should I post a poll? I am a little confused with the new forum layout since this is not 100% an MWO idea.

I have been playing MMOs for a while now and love how you log in and interact with the world accomplishing various tasks and quests, and being able to fight other players. For a while, the only style MMO that really worked was the “World of Warcraft” style and pretty much all MMOs followed it. Recently I have started playing Planetside 2 (yeah really glitchy and low end machines run it better than high end ones) and I have to say they have a really good idea going where it’s a first person shooter where 3 factions fight for control of 3 continents on a planet with a constant push pull of the territories. You level things up and make purchases similar to other MMOs being able to do just about anything that you want. I thought that this would be really cool to pull off in the Battletech universe where you could be infantry, tanks, aerospace fighters, dropships, and most fun of all Mechs. Imagine having large scale battles with those elements fighting for territories on a planet spanning multiple planets though out the universe. It would be very intense and I believe very fun. The hard part would be to create the incentive for people to take other classes instead of just using mechs. It would also be difficult to create a game engine that could handle that kind of load over a few servers but as SOE proved, it can be done. They could give it a MMO feel with buying your equipment and upgrading your skill with it and being able to customize your vehicle and armor.

So what do you guys/gals think? Would you try a game like this? Having something with a little more interacting than assault and conquest game modes? Having access to a much broader interpretation of Battletech? Personally I love the concept of MWO but currently the pug drops are rather boring; with most of my fun coming from designing mech load outs. Since the CW hasn’t come out yet and I have a bit before I can sign up for the Clan Wolf Faction, perhaps it will all be different and I know I’m excited to see what PGI has in store for us with CW.
