Also, since it is on the opening page, if I hadnt already played the game, I might assume this was a halloween game of some sort and not a Mechwarrior game.

Pretty sure the game being called 'Mechwarrior Online' would give the game away there. I can only imagine this would be a problem for people who choose and download games with their eyes shut to give themselves a surprise on the loading screen.

Yeah, cause pilots in BT always loved putting gluing statues of UrbanMechs wearing tophats into their cockpits right before going into battle. EDIT: Halloween is the 31^st, by the way.

I purchased $700 worth of MC because I thought that I would be rolling around in giant pumpkins armed with the most devastating of the fall spices! PumpkinsGaloreIncorportated has lied to everyone!

Couldn't help but wonder, as it is on the front page when I started to play the game.

it is a disease of unknown origin that MMO/ online game devs seem to think that making funny things for different holidays is mandatory

On the opening page the title halloween is larger than the mechwarrior title, makes me wonder where this mech sim is going and what FASA must think about whats being done to the title.

FASA is like the Honey Badger in this case.







Long dead.

Not to mention every time Jordan gets his hands on the series he ends up selling it to someone so... yeah, or some such noise.

This is the first online version in the sense of an MMO so it is - as far as I can recall - teh first MW or BT liscnece game to have a holidat theme at all. Mainly because the others were all stand alone games. There was no telling when you would actually be playing it.

Am I the only one to look at this and think of the Imp?

No, but it's hipster-cool to complain about how it takes you out of the game nowadays.

I don't see why any religion that exists in BT lore would not be celebrated in MWO. Although i'd guess that as with most online games only the "christian" celebrations will show up.
