What is weird is that at 4:20 all the enemy should be firing at the dropship but it does not happen.

Official promotional video is terrible, but the concept artist is amazing!
1.Annoying garbled dropship chatter starts off your video when someone could be role-play narrating what is about to happen (for new players with no idea of faction warfare or its goals)
2. Clan voices are terrible and sound fuzzy.
3. OMG Take out that turret! Drawing heavy fire! (from a light mech)
4. Light mechs all stand still for enemy force to kill them.
5. Atlas turns his weak back armor to enemy and walks away.
6. Video cuts to another video without explanation.
7. Light mechs standing still again. Oh the drama...
8. Scouting mission has clanners outnumbering IS 3 to 1 with all weight classes.
9. Mechs standing still, in the open, and not shooting. (can we make this any more unrealistic?)
10. Doesn't show the clans still winning.

tl;dr More art less fictional faction play please.

Obviously false advertising. I mean, when was the last time you saw a Commando in the game?

[Rhialto]

You should discuss that video HERE.

Every night, when not dropping with a 12 man, some Freelancer will wander in in a trial Commando.. so.. almost nightly.

You need to be telling that story in front of a camp fire, with lightning striking in the distance.

Really awesome.

[SuomiWarder]

Not sure which in which reality that promo bit represents an actual CW match. Other than that there are mechs and gates.

[Johnny Z]

Looks awesome to me. Not sure what kind of glue the topic starter is sniffing.

The video itself is extremely true to game play for a trailer.

10v12 confirmed?

[EntertainEnterprises]

i like the warhawks in scouting mode.

Not being rude but we could just make our own trailer about FW and send to Russ and ask him to uses this as a promo trailer I mean it seems logical...

[Alistair Winter]

- Nice video. Was this directed by Michael Bay though?
- I wish Scout mode was more like this. Defenders in big mechs chasing invaders in small scout mechs. Less Griffin vs Stormcrow legging contests that last two minutes.
- I love that PGI keeps using the Atlas with glowing eyes, but when players ask to have it back (with toggle, like Kodiak claws), they ignore us at every turn.
- I also like that the Invasion defenders tried to defend the gate, even though the game mode is specifically designed (by Russ' own admission) for defenders not to defend the gate. It's basically supposed to be impossible to defend gates and ill advised to move outside them. But I guess the actual FP gameplay wouldn't have looked very exciting in a promo video.

Sorry to be negative. Just sucks to see videos that show what the game could have been like, if they listened.

"Taking heavy fire".... 5 clan heavies, taking heavy fire... from a Spider and a Panther... XD

Poking fun at the video aside, the art is gorgeous n.n

[Twilight Fenrir]

Wait wait wait.... that atlas had glowing eyes! O_O Are we finally getting glowing atlas eyes back? Oh please god.... PLEASE let this be an accidental slip showing the next build or something XD I want my glowing Atlas eyes again!

I really like the Lore emphasis on the video, kinda sad we lack this in actual Faction Warfare...

@ LOADED

Yes, many times, Thought it was animation fleshing... Sorry man, I was breaking the concrete whole day with a sledge hammer (my house renovation). Dead tired and pinned because of the patch. Will shut up now.

Easy, i'm just kidding around, i've seen you shooting them down more then once, was under them more often then not too. Sarcasm and typing <.<

[xeromynd]

The video is a gorgeous, beautiful looking, inaccurate, nonrepresentation of what playing in FW is actually like. Visually, the video is fantastic and the shots are great. Voice acting is mildly ok.

-Scouting Mode does not have more than 4 enemy mechs.
-Heavy and Assault mechs are not allowed in Scouting Mode
-We do not have "Stars," Clans have the same Lances that IS do.

Sound files weren't even pitch/timestretched like they are in FMOD within the game. They're the source sound files which sound like lasers a mouse would shoot.
