15 minutes max? Really? That seems pretty short to me for a 12 v 12, I would think more around 20-30 minutes.

dunno about that actual combat is prolly resolved pretty fast =X getting in possition is prolly what takes the most time =3..... the most time would prolly be taken up finding campers =X

wouldnt mind seeing a day in the life of devs too =3 XD

Q: Pancakes, waffles, or french toast? [Vulpesveritas]
A: Waffles. They're built for syrup, right? I mean, they're just made of pockets specifically designed for the purpose of holding delicious syrup! [GARTH]


Thanks for reading everyone, and I hope you enjoyed the replies!

*Ahem* For the uninitiated crunchy cornflake french toast with cinnamon sugar and real maple syrup.

I support the 'Day in the life of' idea... make sure you do it before release... with lots of hidden info in the background of each shot, so we can see what you haven't told us yet and speculate for pages and pages on the forums until you have to say something to prevent a panic.

Would love to see what and how the day of one of the designers is

[Kaemon]

A vote for a documentary on Matt Newman, because until there is Hula, there is nothing else.

A "day in the life of" should include Paul kicking the server.

SHHHHHH! Keep mentioning it and they'll catch on and ban Paul from the server room! Then we get no more Beta Keys!

As for the "Day in the life of", I vote "yes" as long as you don't pick Paul. We already know what Paul's day is like.

If you're gonna do a "Day in the life of", do it right. Garth, Russ, Bryan, Kyle, Dennis, Alex....the list goes on and on. Make the right choice.

you left out the discreet finger sniffing that immediately follows each scratch.

Would love to see a "day in the life of..." from the dev team. I'm sure it would be f'n hilarious!

Q: Will we ever get a 'Day in the life of a PGI employee' feature? You know, a developer or artist or technician or QA analyst doing a "this is what I do on an average day" walkthrough, complete with pictures of the offices and such? Probably not before release, I'm sure, since you all are so busy, but is something like that in the cards? [Gendou]
A: I'd absolutely love to do one of these. Would you guys really want that? I guess if we got enough requests we could pull off something. Again, I'd absolutely love to do it! [GARTH]

I would love to see this!

[Regina Redshift]

Day in the life? I can dig it.

[darknothing]

Day in the life of a PGI employee i like the idea, good materal to read once in a while cant hurt.

This batch of answers was really dissapointing. There were a lot of better questions out there than these and the jump jets thing was answered twice.

The match lenght was in the videos...so it's been shortened by 5 minutes. Big deal. Well actually i think it's bad news.
The shorter the match timelimit is the fewer strategies are available.
Low power weaponry and hit & run tactics becomes less viable.

And the last two questions were just...We received nothing.

I don't think that he meant the game length was set at 15 minutes. Just that a game has not lasted longer than 15 minutes. This could be because one side is eliminated by the fifteen minute mark or the mission objectives have been achieved by one side prior to the fifteen minute mark. This does not negate the possibility that a match could not go longer.

Q: Are jumpjet mechs "Death From Above" tactics included in the game design yet? Keyword searches and reading through the posted material, I've so far failed to find discussion on the topic. I doubt it has been overlooked so it's probably just a lack of discovery on my part. [Jaxwen]
A: Death From Above is planned, yes. [GARTH]

So it is not in? You really like to tease us, don't you?

For the match-length: Seems a bit short for me. As you said, when people get better, they use more tactic, meaning luring enemys etc. When the maps are not supersmall, a bigger match could get even 30mins i think and still be fun.

For "a live in the day of" that would be fun to watch, let's see Paul crawl through the airvents at the lady's room ;)

[Derick Cruisaire]

A day in the life of Paul would be more like a how to video for forum trolling.

Perhaps a series. With weekly installments. He could pick a theme song from here: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/7123-inouye-mans-theme-song/

[Kalenn]

Vote in favour of "day in the life of" series for the main work product groups (programming, art, design, [even business!], etc.)

[Topgear]

you guys absolutely have to do a day in the life of a pgi employee. it would be mega!

I am hoping, as a true Canadian, that this is Maple Syrup.

[Turbo Corvair]

I vote yes for "a day in the life" also!

[Kolhammer]

We're gonna stay up late playin mechwarrior, and in the morning im making waffles!

[thorcat]

Let see " Day in the life of" but don't forget to show a match between the team so we know who to watch out for.
