October 15th, 2017 is my guess, what's yours?

(Just passing time while I upload a new Video)

Soon™.

[Otto Cannon]

As soon as they figure out some way to try selling founder pack mechs for Star Citizen ship prices, and they need somewhere for people to sign up.

[Ori Disciple]

A couple months before the game does, I'd imagine.

[Snazzy Dragon]

60-90 days, obviously

I honestly don't have any expectations for them to make MW5: Mercs forums. At most, I expect just a little separate section of the MW:O forums for it, if that even.

They'll make a MW5 Forums, and promptly abandon it after a few weeks to return to Twitter.

When they'll make it? Judging by the speed of development for a small game team, probably in 1-1.5 years.

[Barantor]

Never: they'll be using reddit and twitter for all game queries and announcements.

How cool would it be if MW5 has some relation to HBS' Battletech, story-wise?

Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

For Some reason, the MW5 Pre Alpha Demo area of demonstration reminds me of the Battletech game demo area you're supposed to assault...

I know it's a big stretch, but I'm still holding out hope for George Ledoux being a hireable pilot, or one of the competitors if Solaris is ingame. I know it's an unreasonable hope, but I can hope all the same, can't I?

If they have any relation at all, I want the players to be on one side in MW5, and on the other side in BatleTech.

Maybe the "endboss" would actually be the supposedly players' squad from the other game. I guess that won't happen though since they take place at two diffferent points in time IIRC.

Nah, I think he should stay to be some kind of an announcer or a narrator.

Never.

MW5 is yet another boondoggle with the intention of directing your attention from the utter failure of turning MW5 into a significant IP/Lore based draw. MW5 will never be more than a PGI pipe dream. Remember their original MW5 advertisement/teaser video from 2012? How'd that work out? This new "MW5" is in no way different. Just another tease for a product that will never exist...at least as advertised. Forums for MW5? We have forums here. That will be sufficient in PGI's eyes.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. in the B-tech demo there's a base that looks strikingly similar. If we have to fight an atlas.....


Ooh. I'm getting my hopes up too much. gotta stifle that with memories of this games development.

I always use the fact that Inverse Kinematics keeps getting pushed back as a way to sober myself up easily.
