Just to give you guys a heads up, the PC Gamer website has added MWO to its top bar 'What's Hot' list.

http://www.pcgamer.com/uk/

It's a pretty good sign that they're getting excited about release as they normally reserve that bit for big name titles or noticeable mods (the other titles on there at the minute are Diablo 3, SWTOR, Minecraft, DayZ and Mass Effect 3).

Hopefully this will give MWO more exposure and get more and more people excited about; we already seemed to have had a steady influx of new players since the relase of the Founders' Packs.

Looks like just a paid banner ad. No new content.

It's not a paid banner and it's not about new content >.<

It's about PC Gamer, the world's largest PC Gaming magazine, placing MWO on their hotlist and therefore hopefully the game will get the exposure it deserves.

Its not bit**ing about exposure its the fact that its an old article that was covered tons in these forums when released
on that page on 11:51pm March 09 2012.

Doesn't matter if it's an old article, the point is simply that it's up there for quick viewing for many readers who may not have heard about said article or the game as a whole. That bar is PCG's "what's hot" section more or less, OP is just saying Yay for that.

i dont think it´s a good playe between Diablo 3, SWTOR, and Mass Effect 3

Diablo = Boring remake, Graphiks old, story boring, BIG Serverproblems
SWTOR = Boring MMO BASIV REMAKE ( only good cutsenze and story made it nearly good )
Mass Efffect 3 = CASUAL GAME, broken Promisis, no development, BAD DLC politik

So i hope MWO is not in the same league as the games.
I HOPE IT WILL BE BETTER

is PCGamer still going? I stopped reading that years ago when their FPS bias got totally out of hand and any game that wasn't a FPS got a panning.

There are still people that read.. hell even buy "gaming" magazines or read online ones?

90% of them are paid/compensated by the big publishers... remember the recent plunder swotor, where reviewers got the "reviewer bundle" (with a worth of 400$)...

As long as the bigger sites/magazines lick the boots of the publishers they aren'T even worth mentioning anymore.

I agree there are a lot of credibility issues with major publications, but I'm still happy to see MW:O getting exposure. That's a big step up for a F2P game, most will barely get a mention.
