I'd love to see it. However, does anyone else find it just a little optimistic, given we still have drill rigs that don't extend through the floor on Crimson Strait, AMS still shoots through the roof of the cave on Forest Colony, and PPC shots sail completely through the torsos of Spiders?

I can live with a few bugs ..... ever play fallout 3 and have a death claw turn into a long squiggly shape and fly into the sky. They are making a new Fallout game that is supposed to be around the post nuclear war boston area. A few game bugs never stopped me from liking a good game with a good story. I still play the game enemy nations from 1995 and it works still. Mechcommander gold still works too. Sid meier,s Alpha centari is a good one too.

would be nice to have a co op mode like hawken. 4 players in a last man standing wave form. i guess give u credit for CW. make it work on 1 map at the start. program it to send waves of tanks and mechs. AI gets smarter/ heavier mechs as waves go on.

I don't think that single player is a priority. There are so many interesting game modes and ways to make the PvP action interesting (beyond CW) that a single player mode simply isn't interesting by comparison.

And new players don't really benefit that much from bots. You learn most quickly when facing real opposition and, at least when I started, the starting ELOs weren't really a high-pressure environment.

Although the developement and implementation of A.I. controlled bots can add a lot to the game, as it can mean more epic battles, vehicles, any number of things. And once you have bots, why not have a single player mode. So it would be a good addition, just don't think it's high on the list.

YES
Not as priority, but it's an important addition for many of us.

The fact is competition to this game is offering Single player Campaigns as well as multiplayer. To keep the milk and honey flowing they must compete. After C W is working good they will have the resources and manpower to venture like SP campaign. Everyone who has played MW through MW mercs and even mechcommanders and MWLL wants this ......been 10yrs man!

A full budget single player (or better yet a 4 player co-op PvE) game based on MWOs mechanics would be sweet.

Basically a seperate game, maybe MW5. Why? So it can have offline mode with no need to login.

Yes, a thousand times yes! In it i would like an engaging story of a merc Corp taking missions for inner sphere houses who are beleaguered by the Clans. This could give new players an idea how to do community warfare if they made it so you can do everything like take planets, build your own base and upgrade it. Then later have expansions like Solaris and maybe a prequel expansion to 3025 and have certain mechs be limited and such. Also have some quality voice actors with a good script!
Some full motion video would be cool, I used to love the ones in mwo 4(still do) and mech commander.
Or heck, just give us mechwarrior 2 with the updated graphics of mwo :)

Hell yes a PVE type deal should happen. Ofc, if it lets us use the mechs we bought lol. Otherwise, meh...I totally wanna rock out in my Warhawk, but not be in a horribly laggy, poorly performing multiplayer session..

There are alot of things I would like but I feel like Solo content or even Coop against the AI content would be nice to have.

Melee combat is high on my priority list right now but Solo content would be very welcome. So yes.
