Yep, saw the link right after I posted here, been all over them already. The BTECH forums are so much more cheerful than the MWO forums (so far).

So, like the closed beta forums here? Full of joy and excitement? I could tell you what went wrong but you have a gold badge of your own to remember Ah well, time to look at the new forums and dive into a exciting new BT experience that hopefully will not disappoint.

Yes, a time of hopeful exuberance! LOL

Most of the nonsense over there will be from people who don't read the FAQs, can't get it through their skulls that there are no Clan mechs in the IS in Classic BATTLETECH, or people who still do not understand that BATTLETECH is and was always intended to be turn-based.

And now the great 1.5-2year waiting begins!

Well, at least we should have CW3 in the meantime.

Whether CW would be finished before Battletech was my first post in the Battletech forum...

I'm a backer, hope this project delivers a great game for all of us. I am definitely looking forward to the Stackpole novel--been reading the Battletech novels lately and the Stackpole and Thurston works have been the best so far. I do admit I really liked Stackpole's X-wing Star Wars series when I read them a decade ago, and can now see the improvements in storytelling he's made since his early BT beginnings. I have high hopes for his new novel.

I've always felt that even if the Kickstarter didn't get all the goal money up front, that eventually they would finish the game as they saw fit, to include co-op multilayer. The funding doesn't stop with Kickstarter. I find it funny they say "we will not expand our goals with more money" but later on say they will pursue co-op with additional funding...sounds like "expanding our goals" to me...but I'm not complaining! I would prefer co-op over PvP any day.

[Javin]

I backed as well. Hopefully in 1 1/2 years we have CW phase 3.

[ChapeL]

People can still put money of the project if they wish. Now it goes to polishing the game.

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!

Battletech yes, Starcitizen? LOL don't count on it. At the rate Roberts is burning through cash with little to show for it, it'll be a miracle if SC ever sees a beta never mind a full release.

This just some silly anti-fanboy bias right ?
The single player game is schedule for 2016. https://robertsspace....com/squadron42
The PU game... probably 2017 and beyond...

I'm having fun with the supposed IlKhan guy who started the Bloodname contest thread charging people 99 cents to compete.

[Fuerchtegott]

After some talking with fellow pilots I'm impressed how much PGI has damaged the brand.
Good job PGI, we found the one thing you guys are by far the very bestest in the whole world.
Two out of three people I spoke to had such a bad experience with MWO that they refused even the idea of supporting any campaign again ever, no matter who are the people involved and what they bring to table (compared with PGI, who brought nothing) in terms of former achievements.
Glad it worked out for HBS anyway.

HBS can hammer some people over the head with lore and rub it in their faces and those people still will not get a clue. Apparently the mistake that is the Clans can not be erased.
