I haven't played in a while now. Can someone fill me on what happened to cause clan mechs to get pushed ahead of community warfare development? I've seen a couple of the dev vlogs and have heard almost 0 questions about community warfare and don't seem to see any 'new' info about it anywhere.

Don't get me wrong, I want clan 'mechs as much as the next MechWarrior fan... It just doesn't feel like much of an 'invasion' if there's no actual Inner Sphere for them to invade without the community warfare game. More new 'mechs, still no effort to add any actual replay value to the game.

So has it just been cancelled or pushed back for the third fourth time?

How do you have community warfare without clan mechs?

Also, why do you presume mechs use the same production resources as CW.

Just to play devil's advocate here:

1: I think he imagined there being House vs House fighting for a while, and THEN the arrival of the clans would be this big event, like you see in various MMOs.

2: There is also a sense that now that the Clans are here, it should be (at least largely) IS vs Clan, which isn't happening, so some people (not me, in particular) feel disappointed.

Actually, scratch that, I'd love to get maximum stompage. The weapons aren't all hideously OP the way some would have you believe, but they certainly seem that way to the ones that cry the loudest about other people having fun, and if things are going to get nerfed anyway (which they are) I'd like to at least maximize the schadenfreude we can get out if it.

It's just another grab deal-

My understanding was that CW would have a seperate mm queue, where you would get is and clan only teams.

because to implement CW they would have to have more to the game then just deathmatchs and glorified death matches.

Those dont make them money directly but shiny new mechs do.
