Thanks for the letting us know (much better than just leaving us wondering.) A small additional delay is tolerable.

Thanks for the communication, we need more of this.

So I'm really hoping the command console lets a thirteenth person drop in a limited spectator mode with access to the battlegrid. But I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment. I guess I'll just have to wait till Monday.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. I've long maintained a 13th player position as company command with a MechCommander interface for giving orders (and showing mechs as per Mech Commander, IE only when you have targetting data from mechs on the ground) would be the most awesome thing I've ever seen for this game.

>tfw no command console.

Stand by to stand by folks.

If i didn't know for a fact they weren't, the amount of hurry up and wait around here would make me think this was a military organization.

No update yet, I'll be checking back in tonight. Just a FYI... I do have the write-up done for some of the upcoming Clan weapon systems and some other 'stuff'

I'll put it up tomorrow if the CC/CT stuff doesn't get put up before then.

Oh crud, now I don't know if I should be rooting for the CM/TC write to be finished, or for a continued delay to transpire.........

[A Man In A Can]

Smack us all at once Paul. You know you wanna.

That's an acceptable compromise...

[Wintersdark]

Augh! I don't know what I'd rather have happen! I'm really interested in the clan weapon systems and such, but... We've been waiting on a functioning CC since... Well, since ever.

I imagine there'll be more meat to the weapon systems, but... *twitch*

[Undercover Brother]

My understanding was that the Clan Targeting Computer made micro-corrections to allow for much more accurate weapons fire. Think of it as having all your weapons on gimbals that can traverse individually up to 5 degrees in any direction (or autofocus on your digital camera). That could make sniping with a "zoom" module VERY interesting. It could still keep a few Clan Mechs on the top of the heap over the I.S. counterparts. (I hear people lining up to scream "pay to win!")

As far as the MUCH anticipated Command Console: C3 computer? Maybe the ability to see your teammates' loadouts and be able to communicate and/or assign orders to each individual player on a team? THIS is what brought down the Clans. It allowed for more focused firepower and better ability to ambush Clan forces. If PGI does it correctly, it could COMPLETELY change the way MWO is played. (A.K.A.- 1 guy in a Locust with nothing but a Medium Laser and a Command Console hides, and basically plays an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game, utilizing his company as the pieces. He sees everything they do, and acts accordingly... ALA MechCommander)

If the Command Console functioned THAT way, and was only available on I.S. tech, I'd probably NEVER touch Clan tech.

Paul, please stop posting about communications.

Telling us you have a post ready, but we can't see it yet is not teasing the material, it's teasing the audience.

If you had said nothing or if you had said "we've got a couple of more CC posts in the works ... you guys are really gonna love these", we would have been content, but now we wonder what else you're hiding from us.

And we wonder why Information Warfare isn't a real thing yet ...

Let us try not to complain too much about increased communication, lest we stop that communication completely.

Or you could just put it up? I mean really why hold back info? This is what pisses a lot of us off is there is too much mystery in MWO and what you buy.

[BLOOD WOLF]

Complaining that he's posting too much? what else is possible?

He's not complaining about Paul posting, but about Paul posting about not posting the actual info yet. There is a difference.

I am all for suspense, but I don't think anyone would complain about getting the info earlier than later.

yes, i see the difference: However Paul can post as much as he want's on the matter. That is still a petty issue to have.

This teasing stuff is never good PR... Just keep that in mind Paul.
