Nukes?! Did I just see nukes?!

I want some!


That was your takeaway? You saw nukes, you want nukes?

I saw what looked like mission-based gameplay, possibly even a STORY behind the battles.

I want THAT. Oh well.

That was a great trailer. To bad we do not have the interstellar jumpships (ok warships to be correct) or the atmospheric leopard drop ship entry :P Maybe CW3.

Also what was the massive explosion at the end? Can you imagine if PGI could program in destructible terrain and buildings? I think it was MW4 where only the suicidal would go anywhere near the oil tanks. I think I recall a game where a lite had jumped up on top of one and our entire team just watched him go into orbit when we all blasted the tank.

Id say it looked a lot like critical reactor failure the old Mechwarriors had. When the fusion engine in the mech goes critical it goes BOOM!

I just tried copying the game into my Steam folder... Steam didn't like that. It's making me download the whole game even though i checked the file integrity and all those things. So unless someone is making up a solid guide right now.. just redownload the game again on steam while you play it from the client launcher. Just make sure you allow yourself some bandwidth to play.

Hi, since the steam version just launched
I browser the web for solution to avoid redownloading since it will takes me 2 days to finish it
so i copy the file and get the apf to the designated folder
instead of recognising the 32bits it downloads the 64s bits instead
im running a toaster so instead of letting it downloads the 54 bits, i copied the 64bits over
now it cuts down time to less that 1gb left for another 10 minutes

how do i get steam to run the 32 bits when i launch it?
any pointers will be nice
much appreciated

________________________________
just launched from steam
Found a walk about
#1 copy everything
#2 get the apf file
#3 let it download a little bit
#4 it runs perfectly on 32 bit for me

why automatic 32 bits i dont know
would wish to know how

will test if game can get me into a fight

That trailer looked super cheap.

Can we already have
  • Defending convoys
  • Capturing facilities
  • Withdrawing to dropships
gamemodes on giant non-symmetrical Battletech feel maps instead of that repetitive nonsense on awful CoD arenas?

Then I'll be back to MWO after 2 years break.

Thank you.

Just watched the video. That "nuke" like explosion. Hope that is in the pipeline for something.

C'mon guys. We can either have this Mechwarrior game and help it to succeed or we (well, not me) can download it again on steam just to give it a thumbs down and a bad review.
If MWO won't be successfull, there may years go by until the next Mechwarrior Game will come out. And maybe it's even worse or maybe there wont' be a game anymore. We have a pretty solid piece of software here and it can only get better.
So go to Steam and give an at least neutral review with thumbs up. Is it so important to you to see this game fail? What's wrong with some ppl? (actually I don't want an answer. I know what happened in the past. Though it's no reason to rant around on Steam like some ppl do.)

2 parallel Battletech universes for warfare? Hmm ... I'm not on board.

My wild guess is it might be the long tom artillery strike advertised for CW phase 3, one of the advantages you can unlock by doing the 4v4 scout missions.

MWO is not in the first page of the shop, not even in the third or fourth, what the heck, it is in the last one of Free To Play....

I really hope they didn't put all their hopes in this steam release because this way it won't attract many new players....

Yeah that is some kind of an explosive strike, might be heavy artillery, might be a nuke. Definitely has a mushroom cloud...

I can't give it a positive review as that would be dishonest, and I can't in good conscience recommend this game to others. As much as I would have liked at one point in time to see the game succeed I no longer like the direction this game is going or the choices the devs have made the last few months. If the game ultimately fails so be it.
