Numbers are down from the height of the game, but I can drop on some planets and see upwards of 150+ players, others around 40.

Never winter still runs with supposedly less Player count than us, so I think PGI is doesn't have a destroyed game yet.

Alright. I'll agree that they should make an effort to bring the lore to the game. But I don't agree that they should cast aside their current efforts for the sake of a campaign.

Like where is the lore we were promised for the worlds in CW? Why don't we have a info tab on the lore of each mech? Even picking your faction. It's just the bare minimum.

They don't have to add pve. But they should add the lore into the game in fun ways.

I've come to the conclusion that we were mistaken.
We thought they said Lore.
But what they actually said was.............

Nope I only know it exists and it can dance and is named barney.

The online portion of the the previous MW's definitely felt more fun, since they weren't dragged down by matchmaking and ELO scores. Everyone could use the same Mech plus there was no grind whatsoever-just pure LosTech Fun, no pay2notgrind, no broken skill trees, lots of game mode variety, drop in/drop out, etc. "G2P" really killed my enthusiasm man. Oh well, here's to hoping for a MW5 SP/MP 10 years from now - right around the time of HL3's release.

Multiplayer is the bane of the gaming industry?

Guess that's why WoW and Eve are doing so terrible, isn't it?

while i agree with you, comparing EvE and WoW to MWO is apples to oranges in the extreme way possible ,EvE had more content and depth on day 1 of release then MWO has after 2 years of release

Its a arena shooter with some mech customization. It could be so much more but its not and prob never will be.

How often does it have to be said that no one wanted to financially back such a game? Get over it, please, unless of course you have the money to personally back such a project.

I threw $60 at it Pre Beta. So I think you are mistaken on this one sir.

Someone was collecting funds for a single-player Mechwarrior game before MWO? Kindly clarify.

I didn't hear about that Game. I heard about MWO. They got my funding.

These are the grounds that everyone should be demanding their money back. I was a fool enough to stand there and listen to their CW spiel at the launch party. Bought into hook, line and sinker. White knighted with the best of them.

Finally they released CW and I was disappoint. Waited a little longer to hope for improvements and still nothing viable in long term goals.

Screw these guys. The money isn't the point but don't sell something you can't deliver.

MWO got money from me too pre-beta, more too.

But I was talking about the original single-player game that got zero publisher backing.

Yeah well Publishers are trying to earn back money on their investment. Fan Funding is just looking to get their fun! Its a different business perspective.

I did, and put cash down in the hope of co op/single player down the line. Hell I barely got in, I think I heard about it 2 or 3 months before founders ended. Tbh thought thatwith mw4 being c&d'd battle tech in an online form WAS dead for good. I am glad it's not, but... I all do hope for a game type I can bring in non fans of the setting to at least see why I like it and not have to jump into the deep end vs comps and organized groups with no idea how to play and basic trials (oh God trying to group friends with the 3025 stock trials in early ob before champion mechs were set as trials... I'll be lucky if anyone even wants to try, it was bad)

I don't think pgi is under big publishers like EA or Bubisoft, i think they could start a kickstarter campaign, or patreon or whatever fancies their crowdfunding desires to make "Stuff".

If they wanted they could very well start a campaign right now.

Neverwinter ONLINE has a story and is Multiplayer.
Star Wars The Old Republic is Online and Multiplayer.

Yes both can be played Solo but the game is geared to be played as a group. Now both of my examples are PvE. But TT has always been a PvP type game. In that you have to have at least 2 players to really enjoy it.

This game needs more than just Me v You and the prize is a case of beer. I was bored with that style of CBT in the early 90s.

And both of those games are bargain bin terrible, compared to much better games.

That being said, what put this game into being a flesh eating disease riddled thing, is a complete lack of effort for Years, in the game's development, along with an extraordinarily poor choice in game engine.

This game does need a single player, as well as a coop mode. Frankly there's no real way to balance mechwarrior, certainly not with the route that PGI chose. Almost every idea I can think of to make mwo, worth being called a competitive online game, require the entire suit of mechanics PGI put in, to be heavily tweaked, and or thrown in the garbage bin.

The problem is, PGI thinks they're Blizzard, and can play in the esport arena.
When in reality they're worse than development teams that work on Movie Licensed Games.
