Hi all,

Before you all start your posting frenzy, give yourself a proper education on what the developers have said about this game. Remember Mechwarriors, information is ammunition!

This topic should be given a sticky if thats possible. Clears many questions and takes away some of the common worries.

Well said JROCK

and yes BRIXX the devs should post this....permanently.

It will ease a lot of the anxiety a few are experiencing.

[garrett]

It's not my first choice but I'd rather have an F2P MechWarrior than no new MechWarrior at all.

There's also nothing stopping Piranha Games making a single player game later on once they have renewed enough interest in the series. Some single/co-op PvE missions would also be a viable option here.

Thirding the sticky petition!

[taxman]

Sticky this Please.
Points and links relevant and accurate.

[Tyra]

Holy ****. Sticky this.

[Black Mamba]

jrock, our minds think a like.

[Astaroth]

Another vote for a sticky.

[Neutron IX]

Totally agree! With both Jrock and the request for a sticky!

Thank you!

[Marauder3D]

A calm, thought out response to panic?

INCONCEIVABLE!!

[reinhardt steiner]

This thread goes against the very fabric of teh interwebs. I approve.

[Grave]

Bump for visibility - this explains much that needs to be understood.

jrock really hits the nail on the head about the publishers. We are currently in the world of first person shooters. While BattleTech can kinda relate with cockpit views and all, it plays completely differently. With the world economy the way it is many publishers don't want to revive a franchise when they have so many sequels and prequels that will make money for them without even trying (I'm looking at you CoD). I think it's a great thing to have Piranha Games at the helm of this project and I am looking forward to the final product!

With that said.... Let's go blow something up!

Seems like a project worth doing, even if it bucks the industry 'experts'. I would love to see this game springboard into something larger and grand.

[uebersoldat]

Hear hear!!

Applause for getting pinned!

Yea looking at some of the negative posts of these people that haven't even got their hands on it yet makes you really scratch your head.

Finally for once, someone has heard us, and you want to whine about this or that? Those people just need to chillax and wait until more details unfold. Don't ruin for everyone else, what could be a game that blow all our expectations us away.

I'm thrilled this game is coming out, so are all my 'mech buddies. They ask me about MW5, now MWO, about once a month, so I think EA, Activision, etc. are going to be missing out on what will be a very popular game. MechWarrior is the one giant robot sim that actually works, still the best online pvp experience in many years and many games for me.

What made me scratch my head is yesterday some guy goes "Your Dev Post is TL:DR" Then goes to list issues that almost EVERYONE of them were talked about in the dev blog or the FAQ... do some reading you heap of surat dung before spouting your mouth like a fail out sibko. Seriously 5 minutes of reading would have saved the guy 10 minutes of posting.
