Man, that game is looking better and better.
This place is going to be barren of population for at least a few weeks after BT drops.

[Alan Davion]

Mind.

F***ING.

BLOWN~!

Melee looks badass as all hell and I can't wait to get into the Beta test.

Few weeks? Try a few months or more. IF HBS BT turns out to be what everyone, certainly everyone, is looking for then you can bet that MWO will turn into the Tourmaline Desert.

Which might be exactly the slap in the face PGI needs to get their collective heads out of their collective a**es and fix the G** D*** game.

[oldradagast]

Wait... um... wow?

Why can't we have this? My Awesome's have a battle claw - I want to rip parts of enemy mechs off, too!

*sigh*

As others have said, this place will be a ghost town if BT is as amazing as it looks.

Someone tweet that to Russ so that his mind can get blown.

How so? Its a Turn Based strategy game versus a first person semi-sim-shooter. While I won't deny I'm gonna play the **** out of Battletech, its not the same as (even MWO) being in the cockpit yourself.

Now...Mechwarrior 5 on the other hand, is a whole other beast.

How will HBS' BT game make MWO a ghost town? Let's see.

1. Being better balanced than MWO. i.e. no Clans to completely and utterly f*** up the balance.

2. Being fully open-ended, allowing almost unlimited replayability. Have a long running campaign being aligned with House Davion that you're getting bored of? Then start a whole new campaign aligned with House Kurita, embrace the bushido code, and so on and so forth.

3. By being a TBS style game, you actually have to think. You have to position your units where they'll be more advantageous, and provide cover for units that are at risk, such as making sure you have something to support that slow as f*** Atlas that's the pride of your unit. Also, for example you have an objective you need scouted, you're gonna need a scout mech, which could also be used, if you're fast and smart enough, to make an end run around the enemies you're facing and give them a nice poke in the a***.

Sure you can do #3 in MWO, but you need more than just one mech to pull it off effectively. Trying to do that in MWO with just one mech will get you iced quick.

And those are just right off the top of my head. I'm sure more people could provide more reasons.

I bet it will make an appearance in MWO actually. HBS is using Alex and PGI's art so i see no reason why they wont let him keep turning out hits here and then taking that model over to the Turn Based game.
