The developers should seriously consider adding that cool launch sequence used for the MWO Launch Party Tournament into the game! Thoughts/Opinions?

That looked really sweet, and would add some much needed atmosphere to the game.

Agreed!

If they could remove the loading screen with this prior to the start-up sequence, that would be even better.

Maybe it was because I couldn't hear most of the "announcements" as it was happening... But I thought it was far too long, and I think I would grow very tired of it.

They could shorten the launch sequence to make it reasonable.

I think thats the launch sequence sound for an Aerotech fighter. If they released Aerotech as a buy only expansion, what then? Maybe someone got to thinking ahead a bit, how many players wouldnt get it seriously?

And before some joker says it couldnt be done, how hard would it be to make a mech cockpit which they have mastered and is the best cockpit in the industry into an Aerotech fighter cockpit? In space they dont need all the maps/terrain or anything, just some cool backdrops and models. Maybe thats why they temporarily took out knockdown?

The way mechwarrior online has been built would allow for capital ship turrets even. Wonder how much a frigate class ship would go for? Or cruiser class? Or would it be faction capital ships where the whole faction mans a few capital ships of the faction fleet, and ranks determine the queue, which they are adding to the game soon, while other players take out fighters?

Think about the backdrop for the presentation also, maybe thats the big reveal but not openly stated?

This is all guesses and if anyone knows for sure, is this the launch sequence for a aerotech fight as it sure seems to be?

Your poll is flawed. I could only choose yes once

[Vila deVere]

Anything to add some atmosphere. Right now, this feels too much like a game and not enough like being a MechWarrior.

[Iqfish]

That was a horrible and laughable animation which would make the current game look even more thrown together. Sorry guys

[Lord Ikka]

I liked it. Shorten it to 10-15 seconds and I'm down with having that in-game.

The video is a bit of theater for the tournement, but otherwise unnessissary. The purpose of the video was to help with the sync dropping between the two teams without having someone give a countdown.

This just in! Dropship command confirms it was a Aerotech fighter launch sequence!!!

UI 2.0?

[Chavette]

Its nice, but keep it for live events. We need a space for tips and we need to know the map we droppin on.Theres simply no place in time for it.
