Heck, WarThunder had a thing a couple weeks ago where if you played 5 games that day you got 300 gold eagles (same as MC) and I think it was because it was a Russian holiday. And they display online users, the normal 40k went over 75k for the few hours they did it. Something like that would have been cool. BTW: Can someone please tell me why my ENTER button stopped working on this site after they switched it?

Your ENTER button is working as intended.

Sorry PGI, I love the IP just like everyone else but you call this a launch?!?!?!?

You launch a day after one of the most anticipated games in history with nothing but an freakin Cockpit item on offer?

Do you hate your player base?

Sorry i feel like I am flogging a dead horse but come on! You could have offered something up, A map pack, a mech pack, a launch MC deal, jesus it could have been anything.

Sorry Rant over, you have done well in the past but this just continues the downward slide.

FYI everyone can see you are pumping money into MW: Tactics... guess what no one cares.

PGI reminds me of a loser relative with big plans who keeps ******* up and desperately trying to rationalize their failures to deliver

Actually I guess if you just remove relative that's pretty much all PGI


Lets just hope they dont ask to crash on our couch for a few weeks till they 'get back on their feet'...

This is a great place for me to expound on my sentiments. I'm totally NOT blown away by this launch. I'm a legendary founder. I've dropped $800 into this game with various MC purchases, buying founders, buying phoneix, buying saber. I play as much time as I can afford to because I LOVE this IP.

However I'm truly disappointed with this launch and I'm disappointed at PGI's ability to listen to it's core audience. I am the type of player that will make this game successful in the long run because I have disposable income and money is worth less to me than time. No private match maker, no CW, not even anything to truly tickle our fancy at the legitimate launch. Sigh, at this point I really believe launch happened 1 year ago when PGI started taking cold hard cash from us.

It is my sincerest wish that PGI can make good but I'll be honest, I've gone from a staunch supporter to a huge doubter of late. It's on you PGI, make OUR dreams come true.


Amen Brother Bluntz!!!

at 25 second mark onthe video, it says "massive battles" and shows a screen with like 50 mechs running down caustic. Wait a seconds guys, it is 12v12....not 50v50. I call BS on this video a thousand times over.

My guess is they ran out of money and this was the best the could do.

Trailer is pretty good, I especially liked the bits with whole teams coming over the hills in Caustic Valley, that was pretty epic.

#saveMWO gave up. We saw the writing on the wall. All these guys with founders badges and like 20 points showing up to say "Still no reason to play" are not from #saveMWO, they're individuals showing up because this was a game they cared about and they're so disappointed.


I "participated" in #SaveMWO by signing their letter and listening in to parts of the meetings.

I'm not "part of #SaveMWO" in any capacity beyond having hoped it would make a difference.

I even think it kind of did. But any ripple effect from it will take some time to see, as any changes at PGI in either code or policy will take some time to manifest.

So... were you going to deliver the game? Where is community warfare? Factions? All the important stuff that actually matter?

Way to focus on the insignificant details of what you promised us 2 years ago. I'm out.

PS - I successfully got my refund for Project Phoenix, and I encourage anyone as disgusted as I am with the "Launch" to do the same.

I am always amazed by all the negativity in this 'community'. Do you people realize how ridiculous you sound when you go off about how much you hate the game and then try to build credibility for yourself by listing how much you have spent or how many hours a day you play? If you really hate it then stop playing and spending money on the game. The only thing I think PGI has done wrong so far is, based on the demographic that seems to be make up the most vocal part of this community, they should change the name to "Whiny Neckbeard Warrior Online"

I can see it now...May, 2014:

"Hey guys, anyone seen PGI lately?"

"They're crashed out on NGNG's couch while they apply at Pizza Dude Inc."

What kind of question is that? We all know community warfare and factions came out in February 2012 just as promised. We've been playing with Dropship Mode on behalf of our chosen great house for months now.

great launch trailer


Yeah, the atlas eyes that are no longer in the game.. and the impression that the game has 32v32 is great.
