So would MWO be at the Spike Video Game Awards this Saturday? Maybe a Teaser to show off?

So its a no then?

No. The VGA is a parade for the biggest publishers, MWO is essentially self-published.

I don't mean that derisively, I am looking forward to announcements at the VGAs, lots of rumblings about a new Command and Conquer game called Alliances from EA or possibly Bioware. But its not the kind of event a game like MWO shows up at.

My guess is probably not. It's a long, long time before an alpha is even ready, and we probably won't hear of a beta till around late May if even that soon. Currently if they were to show up a show, they could probably show concept art. It's too early, and I rather they stick to devloping rather than making versons for shows this early. I'm sure we'll get to see bits of it next year, but a show at this time would be a distraction. No final stuff is ready, and the engine is most likely not even up and running yeat, or if it is, not graphicly pleasing.

"Work before Pleasure" as the saying goes.

Not necessarily. There is no way it will be in THIS VGA, simply because not enough of the game is finished. But consumers drive demand. If MWO becomes popular enough, they'll feature it.

The name MechWarrior alone is big. You'd think since MWO is coming you hear something on VGA.

MechWarrior is big to long time BattleTech fans. To the Modern Warfare generation, it's obscure.
