Really great guide. I took part in the closed beta and am now returning to the game and found this guide very helpful as there is so much more content and so many more mechs, think there were only 8 when I drifted away from the game. It's actually useful knowing which mechs are IS and which are Clan as I can't seem to find any reference on MWO itself.
Some interesting topics to include in this guide could be explaining the game types and tactics. You mention at some point that medium mechs often get ahead of the lance and end up getting slotted early due to their upfield positioning. As I enjoy playing a hunchback this is definitely something I ran into.
Also it would be useful to talk a little bit about what to do when you've taken damage, so I've taken some early shots from some ER LLs and haven't been able to trade well. I'm running out of armour on my Torso, what are my options? hang back and move in for a counter attack once the main battle has started, go off on an objective run, just keep trying to put damage down?
Another interesting topic could be communication. I know I've been killed many times by chasing a light mech round a corner only to find that there are 4 or 5 heavies waiting in an ECM bubble!! A summary of the communication terms and etiquette would be great. What is considered important information and how should I share it with the team in the chat?
Really great guide, obviously a lot of work has gone into this.

Thank you, sounds good, I will see what I can do to implement those uncovered topics. The thing is, those topics are something that probably need to be done on video and would not easily fit on slides. I unfortunately cant make videos to save my life. Perhaps I will talk to Kanajashi about game mode videos for Assault, Skirmish, Conquest, and Attack/Defend which would carefully cover the overlap and differences.
