So, being fairly new to MWO (very familiar with the franchise though), I have found one of the hardest things is riding solo. Getting hacked to bits and not having proper backup gets annoying.
That being said, I have been trying to do research into groups and clans and factions and am just starting to get overwhelmed.
I am kind of hoping for a "for dummies" crash course so to speak. My biggest problem is where/who to join up with?
I prefer an aggressive playstyle, but know how to be tacticle, and love pulling flank maneuvers and the odd kamkiaze run. Prefer ACs and PPCs over lasers and missles and always ride heavy or assault.
Maybe there are some other newer players interested in linking up?

Really hoping they change things with the private match hosting and allow the smaller matches like 1v1 for free. Would be a great chance to practice without being taken out by vets in the first two minutes of a match lol.

If you look for a unit you can post a short description of who you are and what you are looking for in the Hiring Hall thread!

There are three different kind of units in MWO, but until we have a working community warfare system, they all work the same.
There are the house units working for one of the great nations of the inner sphere.
There are the clans, exiles who are coming back to invade the inner sphere
There are the mercenaries, who will work for the highest bidder (clans won't make an offer, as they dispise sellswords ).

I hope this information will help you along. Please leave the new player help for questions and answers of the game. Closing!
