48 hours roughly and counting!

[Mcgral18]

I'm not sure I want to...

[4rcs1ne]

I've got to admit; I'm pretty excited myself.

This is the biggest change since the Clan invasion.

[chucklesMuch]

I have clan pre-orders that I prolly should have canceled... but I'm most interested (and that is a relative term) in messing around with IS mechs and new tech... mmm.

[Asym]

Ha!

You thought "LURM-agedon" on polar, right now is bad; wait till next week with the influx of a few new types of missles!!!!

Woo-Hoo! This will make the air defense combat video from Bagdad look lame; each and every game.....Woosh, woosh, woosh..........DUCK! "where in the heck did that come from"???

We'll have guided, semi-guided, aimed, free flight, multi-range and dumb missles !!!! Geeze, we'll have Assault mech's with 4 different types of missles on them!

Oh yes, many are going to wish for the "good old days....."

I can see it now: 4 Urban mechs circling a lance of heavies and assaults with 4 RAC's, 8 heavy mg's and every missle type available.............. Want to bet that there'll be a bit of screaming after week one?

I'm getting my space ship ready for another exploration because MWO may become a second tier game.........

I'm already on the fence about simply ditching my Clan loyalty and going full-on Spectre. Especially now that the Clans have lost their momentum and have become just another player in the IS powerplay.
Edit: I really want to hear more of those drums at 0:31!

Oh, I know. The guys that die fling insults and rage at the ones that survive or at least live longer. ie. "I died in the first 3 minutes of the game, noob team!"

saw the pts, hype expired.

[Novakaine]

Mrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmms!

[Mar-X-maN]

such a weaksauce intro. imo best intros are MW2 (considering tech at the time), MW2:mercs
MW4, and MechCommander 1 (the one with the real life actors and the Raven action) but those ingame intros of some of the later titles are just fugly and not very heroic.

The MechWarrior 3 intro is my favourite, hands down.

That game is why I'm excited for the Annihilator. That 'mech scared me silly as a kid.

My MW4 nostalgia is why I'm hyped for the other three.

[Gas Guzzler]

PPC-Gauss Victor: Murdered.
PPC-Gauss HGN/HGN-IIC: Murdered.
PPC-Gauss Timber: Murdered

All of those are already inferior to the Night Gyr, and the Night Gyr makes out fine.

That puts the bitter in bittersweet.

[Fleeb the Mad]

While I loved the original MW2 cinematic, I don't think anything beats Mechwarrior 2:Mercenaries.

Look on the bright side, kid. You get to keep all the money.

[Clownwarlord]

I am 50/50 ... hyped/apprehensive.

[Davegt27]

nice to see someone excited

keep the positive waves coming

at least until the stealth armor causes many tears lol

I love how the community is perfectly split on "X will be OP" and "X will be useless". On a good number of things.

It doesn't matter what i'm getting hit by , be it LRM's , lasers , PPC's , or ballistics , it all does damage. Be in a place to minimize the amount of damage taken while dishing out the hurt.

Yeah. Personally, I want to get my hands on the Uziel and the RAC/5, for better or for worse. As for the rest, I'm not holding my breath.

[Tordin]

Im "cautially" hyped... Kinda both really. Expecting that not everything are gonna shine right out of the box and which needs tweaking, improving, adjusting some while after to be balanced and so on. Im hyped because its so long snce the last massive update, maybe even a game changing one.

[Naglinator]

By hype you mean dread of poorly balanced new weapons? Then check.
