I was wondering if we will be give any information at the start of each match to give you a little bit of back ground on the planet you are on. I have seen 2 maps the wooded/hill/rocky map and the snow/blizzard map and was thinking will we get any info as to what is happening with the plant and why we are on said planet?

I would hope so, there is supposed to be a planet hopping meta game where the whole point is that you are fighting for planets, I hope that there is a little background to the nature of the planet, why you are fighting would always be pretty consistent though I suspect.

Houses: border defence/offence.

Mercs I would hope would at least be given a contract breifing though, if I'm gonna risk my be-hind for some hoity toity house I wanna know why and what I'm getting paid.

Well iv got my fingers crossed that they will because as you say if there is goin to be a meta game where you fight against other houses/mercs/pirates then we should get some info on it. What got me thinking was the trailer where it shows you an Atlas hot dropping onto the planet Eaglesham which is the Forest/Rocky map by the looks of it. As for the snow map it looks like its a deserted/abandoned city so why would you be there? Maybe its so you can set up a forward base for supply but important hoping its got an old abandoned star league Brian cache on it looks:-)

the meta game wont be introduced until xmas time ish.

So I doubt we will get world backgrounds until then.

they have talked a fair bit about world environments ... ..seems to be a wide selection of those.

Surely we are just following the story line of Clan fallouts...so we should move from one planet to the next.....Com Star Planets..Terran Planets Marik and so on all of wich are well described in the MechWarrior stories.......or have I got the whole Idea Wrong?

I think you've got it a bit wrong there?

The Clans don't even exist (apart from the Wolfs Dragoons but noone knows they are Clanners anyway) in the Innersphere for another year.

As far as I'm aware the only real Comstar planet is Terra, or at least the Sol system and apart from the whole destroying/ covering up 'tech thing which noone has ever directly linked them to they are a neutral body who manage communication and not the WOBbi madmen from the Darkage.

As best I understand this will be mostly about defending your space and taking planets from others.

-Again this is just my understanding of what has been said so far.

Well maybe we should just follow the story line....From when Noone Banishes the Clans, then it would make it even more playable...and yes my memory is going....
