well PGI has the license, and not much anyone can do about it, but honestly does seem like PGI could do a better job with this game.

sure they have pumped out alot of mechs, but still seems like alot of core issues with weapon/mech balance, team balance, mech/map hitboxes still need some work.
none the less, i still login and play it at times to see if its goten any better. for a while there i lost pretty much all hope for this game. tho after playing recently it and seeing some of the changes here and there, PGi seems to be actualy trying to improve some of the core issues, and making improvments. all we can do as players is share what we think with PGI, and hope for the best.

the way i see it is, if i like it, i'll play it and maby invest some money. if i don't, ill just find another game play.

No, they are not.

There is no reason to discuss this. They blew it, everyone knows it.

Does not matter who has the rights!

Some basement dwelling know-it-all will claim they or someone else can do it better no matter who has the rights.

Don't get me started on WAR.

What a waste of potential. EA should be prosecuted for it.

Bridge troll. Ignore. By the way. The only thing worse than a bridge troll is a cave troll.

Not read the posts in the very thread you posted in, well done.

Back your bridge.

In that case, who do you think would be better to the franchise?

Even better question, are they even willing to take it under their wing?

My answer: Yes.


I've been playing since the start, and don't see me slowing down anytime soon.

I'd like to defend PGI tbh, I'm new to the game and I thoroughly enjoy it, I'm not the best at it but I love the diverse nature, the customisation (could do with a little easier way to paint and decorate tho). I used to play World of Tanks but this is a lot more entertaining for me.

I think PGI is doing a good job for the most part. And here's why:

1) mechs and mech design - they have covered just about every mech in the original TRO. Who else would make a Vindicator, Blackjack, Kintaro, and Spider? And the redesigns are gorgeous.

2) clan balance - cry as much as we like, balancing clantech with IStech is tricky business. Its a tough choice to balance clan vs IS but since they made that choice the odds seem almost 50/50 and still keep a different flavor.

3) immersion - big stompy robots feel like big stompy robots. I'm looking forward to destructible terrain.

**Yes, I think I would have made a couple different decisions when it comes to customization freedom, balance, and such, but noone will be happy with every decision made.

I think we just have anticipated that PGI will continue to give us a minimally viable product and new grabdeals....over and over and over again...as they have done since they got the IP...and they will continue to do till 2020 when they lose the IP and shutdown this game...

[Pjwned]

If the rights were to go to another studio, who would do it better? I think PGI has done a rather poor job overall because of how slow they are to add new actual content or fix problems with the game, but I doubt other studios would do much better.

It would be nice if PGI just got a boot to the ass and fixed various issues with the game instead of letting them rot for years.

[Syrkres]

I have no problem with buying mechs (though I would prefer a monthly subscription model).

The problem I have with PGI is their total lack of failure in CW.

[Mister Blastman]

No.

I'd rather Activision get the license back.

Screw that, the game is already a CoD fest as it is.

You gotta think bigger. If Sony had it or Daybreak had it MWO might get evolved into a MechWarrior version of Planetside 2..... one can hope right?

If they gave a damn about this game or the franchise, they would ask Microsoft and get it.

Only reason I said Activision and EA is because they both have history being involved in Mechwarrior however EA was a bit of a stretch because I found this trailer online



Also looks like they were pretty far into programing it.

Pretty far? It was pretty good. Lots of us played the beta. And then EA effed us all over and shut it down overnight.

Sony or Daybreak probably wouldn't want it. This is a small niche IP. Critical acclaim does not make it a cash cow.

I think they are doing an excellent job. The mechs are better looking here than they ever have been in any MW game previously, design or otherwise.
The mech keep on coming, the maps are mostly good, except for one or two, that are a little more difficult to play.
wouldnt have spent three grand if I didnt like what they were doing, game is very playable and customization is through the roof. Hope they keep it up for quite some time to come!
