With Veterans Day coming up soon, I'd like to toss a big "07" to all the veterans out there, including our very on Juvat!

That is very appreciated, Hege. God bless you guys and keep up the Good work.

Thank you Hege and as with you I cannot thank all the veterans out there for their sacrifices for without them none of the freedoms we have today would be enjoyed. God bless you all!

Thanks for the bump Climarb and friendly o7 of my most trusted XO Juvat.

Internationally the US Veterans of WW2 sacrificed their lives for our freedoms and I personally owe them and all EU veterans for my liberty. I hope that all the US veterans will have a blessed and happy day with someone that cares for them.

Gents,
I found another interesting article about MWO:
http://www.writeca.c...or-online-game/

This article has some valid criticisms, and I hope PGI can address them over the long run.

Thank you for the link, Kni. I read through it and totally agree that it isn't money that is needed to address the challenges but human resources. They need a bigger dedicated team to keep up with the demand.

Yeah, one of the issues pointed out in the article (and one in which I have long forgotten about) is the lack of a destructible environment. Not even sure if that is on their roadmap.

[UB313]

The indestructible Environment bugs me and also the fact of scaling, hopefully the devs will improve those aspects of the game. I'm very addicted to MWO and love what it offers in terms of entertainment but however I am now ready like many to enter the competitive side of things, time to offer an alternative to pug drops and deliver a more serious but fun side of MWO.

Happy Veterans Day to the US soldiers! I dedicate this poem to every soldier throughout history that have served their country and died or survived in the battlefield:

THE WIND BLOWS

The wind blows,
The screams grow as nights cry weakness to a lonely soldier.
A soldier that battled to barter his, bewails that sited inside his core.

The wind blows.
The dream silently dimmed.
A new day stared at a tasteless roundabout,
again a roundabout that cornered a lonely soldier to drain away a hollowed day.

The wind blows.
The screams echo.
A day voids a lonely soldier.
From failed battles to another battle darkness shadows upon his armoured face during a long rest.
Battles feuded by false friends roaring a war to fortify itself.
A fortified war that defiled a sober, lonely soldier to intoxicate and liberate dreams.
Liberated dreams that expired from a lonely soldier to douse forth from a deadened doze.
A dreaded, deadened doze that rested within a battlefield aroused by the incense of desperation.

The wind blows.
The throbbing gasps for serenity quiet down.
A battlefield’s echo is forgotten.

Thanks for sharing, UB.

I hadn't used an LB 10-X since they were buffed a while back.
Yesterday I get the idea to blow the dust off my JM6-S. I swapped the dual AC-10's for LBX's, which also allowed for two additional tons of ammo since the LBX's are lighter.

Wow, what a difference that made! I had some very high scores this afternoon.
I may not use a standard AC10 ever again.

[Juvat]

I love my shotguns kni... and destructible environments are on their roadmap for development. Thank you for your pic and poem UB was very kind.

[knight-of-ni]

To all the Veterans out there, thank you for your sacrifice!

Yes - TY for all past and current Veterans (modern day Warriors) - I will pray for you today and as often as I remember to do so (several times a week)... GOD BLESS!

[Juvat]

Thanks guys... means a lot to have fellow brothers in Christ such as those here in the Knight Wardens that are selfless and work as one. I know I am blessed and honored to be counted amongst you all.

My dear late father served as a Ranger in the Portuguese Military in the colonial wars and I will never forget the feeling I got when I went through all the things he kept from the war i.e. Uniform, medals and different types of bullets.. he was and is my hero and served his country well. Happy Veterans Day to US soldiers! God Bless you with Peace on this day.

Guys,
I just came across another review of Mechwarrior Online. This one also is a bit critical:

I hope these become positive motivators for PGI.
