The glory that could have been, alas.

This thread made me glad that I spend my Phenix + Saber money on War Thunder.

And what ever happened to collision, pretty sure we'll never see it again either.

We'll be lucky to see the Orion

The images are all available in an album on imgur, if you're interested in having them handy the next time you see somebody asking about an upcoming feature (that we already have had for months, yes?) or defending a particularly appalling choice (in a manner often called "white knighting" online).

[Sudden Reversal]

Let's replace all that with...3PV, Hero mechs, consumables and vanity items!

When can we expect these, anyway?

They released Conquest mode in the first December 2012 patch.

Man, remember when we liked PGI? Those were the days.

I ended up spending it on an SSD.

That is true, a single additional mode (Conquest) was in fact added in "December" as the one-word low-context answer reads. However, the more-discussed DropShip mode still has not been added, and the "global warfare" (e.g. community warfare) that was slated for Q1-Q2 2013 still has not arrived despite a planned rollout starting January-February 2013.




Note that we are in Q3 or Q4 depending on if you measure from January (financial) or October (government).

Too bad it's a terribly boring game mode that resembles nothing that they said it would. It's literally assault with 5 bases.

Yes. It was supposed to be the "focus" as per statements going back as far as October 2011 PC Gamer interview, it's come up on Reddit, and has been discussed on NGNG podcasts about how Conquest is supposed to have featured fleshed out bases, with turrets etc. instead of the espresso machines we now fight over.

There were also supposed to be a "variety of" deathmatch modes. Then again it was supposed to also be a "fully first person" mech sim.

But, hey, now the espresso machines have colored fences. That's progress, I guess.

[Uba]

I'm not at all surprised by previous statements being recanted/changed.

It's also somewhat strange this thread was set to locked for a short time period.

[Felbombling]

I read all those answers and have to think they both went to confession afterwards.

[CeeKay Boques]

God, even the 4 Mech dropship mode (which has changed to "Y'know, uh... 4 mechs to choose from on that map, two birds with one stone amirite?") would make this game so much more...more.

He may have meant "olde", you see he's British and they have a fetish for unnecessary vowels.

Also, man that was a depressing read. Whatever happened to that MWO?

1- His British accent is as good as Kevin Costner's.
2- People still play this game?
3- War Thunder.
4- Star Citizen.

Thanks for making me wait 10 more years for a good Mechwarrior game!

Remember when mechs could ram into eachother and fall over? I wanted to be able to squish Jenners with my Highlander... PGI is fail.

I can't like this post enough. This was the MWO that I was excited about and the reason why I bought a founder's package. Sure, I had my enjoyment but now the game crashes constantly and isn't even fun to play when I don't. I want to like it, I really do but I just can't. At this point I'm mostly sad and the release of MWO doesn't promise anything to change that.

[Dustmuffins]

This is the game I spent my money on.

[Protection]

I didn't even mind that we had to restart the program every 3-4 games to prevent the memory leak. It was so good that we played through the coding failures.
