$2,437,335 + $62,731 = $2,500,066.

Stage 4 reached.

I must say i was skeptical of us reaching pvp stage, but there were a lot of people frantically upgrading their packs.

Stage 4 and beyond reached! We are getting a True BATTLETECH game! See you on Solaris!

[Odanan]

Done!

I wish there was a 2,650,000 = co-op multiplayer.

So what happens now that the project has passed $2,500,000? Will we add additional funding goals and make the game even larger in scope?

No.

As we said in our first Live Stream Twitch Q&A session, after Stage 4 is unlocked, additional funding will go towards polishing the features and content we’ve already committed to. After that, any additional funds will go toward funding a Post-Launch Live Team that will continue developing additional features and content. First among them will be Cooperative Multiplayer, which will allow you and a friend to face-off against AI opponents.

Yey!

Very nice indeed!


I was a Lendendary MWT Founder and am now a BT "Initiate of the Order"... here's to hoping I didn't once again throw good money after bad!

I was worried a few days ago that we would not see the PvP being funded, glad I was wrong! Can't wait to play this game, can't wait for the betas. Thanks to everyone who donated here, I myself gave at the Elite Mechwarrior level.
Want to thank PGI as well for giving HBS all the resources that they did with those models. Thank you very much for helping widen the Battletech universe with this new game. Hopefully with this game, MW:O going to Steam eventually, this will rejuvenate the Battletech franchise and allow more things to come around so we and others can enjoy it all the more.

[LiGhtningFF13]

The result is better than I thought it would be. Nice founding sum at the end!

[Repasy Cooper]

SWEET.

I hear you. But after two scucessful Shadowrun Kickstarters where HBS fulflilled every promise, I have faith (so "Noble House Scion" and Liao swag for me) they will deliver as best as they can and the game will have everything in it that was promised when it goes live. Unlike a certain other game we all know

Never played the Shadowrun games... only slightly know what Shadowrun is from pictures at the back of my BTech novels But the musical score for them kick ass

Blah, I can't believe I just blew $290 on it XD I really wanted that flight jacket though... I just hope it's somewhat warm so I can actually wear it in the spring/fall... But, I feel like I got a lot for that money. The game, the sound track, the jacket, the hat/patches, beta access, 4 Stackpole novelas... plus so many little things... Spend it well HBS.

Will actually be a full novel instead of the 4 novelas.

Yep, easy choices:

S/M/L Lasers
PPC
AC/2,5,10,20
LRM 5/10/15/20
SRM 2/4/6
MG
Flamer

And that's it. Everything viable, no clearly superior weapons. Just, nice, old school stuff.

While 3025 Intro Tech is arguably one of the most balanced tech sets, it still had its problems. Since Battletech founders are involved in this, it makes you wonder if they're going to take the "mulligan" opportunity that they have to make stat tweaks. With all the modern gaming technology that's available I don't see it being an exact hex-based pure-rules port of the TT game. Even the Shadowrun games aren't exact ports of the TT rule sets.

However, I could be wrong and they just take everything from the TT rules and just slap a pretty play set on top of it. Not that I'd really complain if they did do that . . . computers are better at handling the CBT TT rules bloat . . . which is also ironic since they're sticking with the earliest era that avoids most of that bloat.

[Voras]

That was allready stated. They will not just slap some graphics on the TT rules. It will be their own game model, that should however, deliver the right BT feeling.

Alright! Looks like when it ends, HBS will have a couple million over to use for polish and continued development, this is going to be awesome! 2017 will be BATTLETECH and STAR CITIZEN!

Ah, not quite "a couple million", but certainly a couple hundred thousand.

Currently, with two hours left, they're sitting nice on 2.8 million - which means 300k for polish and post-live co-op team.

At least we are sure, that BT will be available 2017 *giggle*
