can yall add in some kind of mini game to pass the time while we wait to drop? 20 mins stareing at a never changing screen gets annoying.. perhaps a tetris type or gems or something. I know how about the orig MechWarrior game that plays in the ui or something like smaller on the screen while you wait

alt+tab out of the game and browse the internet. I guess that is what alot of people do.

Yeah, It's unfortunate that the 'Where's that damn module' mini game isn't accessible while we're in lobby.

Have Battletech trivia scroll by with the answers following shortly thereafter. It would help some newer players unfamiliar with lore or it would give groups of BT geeks chances to show off their knowledge!

Thank god the MechWarrior icon on the status bar blinks when a match is starting.

How about we get a little 8 bit top down version of MechWarrior?

I have never seen this(might be my inattention )but do you run fullscreen or windowed fullscreen?

[playful0]

even in everquest they added gems game years ago so you had something to do when stuck waiting on things

[playful0]

what I would reall like to see is a say 2/3rds screen sized version of mech warrior 1 that plays inside the game, make it so you can tell whats going on behind it that way leave chat visable or something.. but yea even the 8 bit down version would work.. just something.. im at 45 min average today to drop, I really with they would fix match maker ad five us something to do while we wait

I have a 3DS so I just play pokemon. Or play Tetris on my phone.

[Rebas Kradd]

Can't I just drop in a pug while I wait for a CW match? I could always get a full one in.

I wish they would give us an audio cue as well. It would be pretty nice.

[tredmeister]

I just window the game and my browser, so I can see if the room is filling up...

Offtopic: I have 2 monitors, is there a way to. Have Mechwarrior on 1, and easily flip my mouse to the other so that mouse doesn't wander over in-game?

[Tumbling Dice]

I usually end up napping. I always nap on long flights.

Play the game in fullscreen windowed mode, have another program running on your second monitor, and when you're ready to hop back into MWO move the cursor into the MWO window (but don't click it!) and alt-tab back into MWO.

If you just click the MWO window to get back into the program it will not lock your cursor to MWO, and it may fire your weapons (which could lead to accidental friendly fire). If you do not move your cursor back over the MWO window before you alt-tab back in, it will jnot lock your cursor to MWO. To get it to work properly you HAVE to use alt-tab, and your cursor MUST be inside the MWO window when you do it.
