FYI - Seems we have a new Site from PGI where they consolidate their Projects and give Info about the MW5 and MWO plus Mechcon:
https://mechwarrior.com/

im lolling at the pc gamer cover on the mw5 page, the article about steering wheels at the bottom of the page. i guess they figure the atlas pilot was running an lb20.

I didn't even bother with the link. pgi doesn't use their own forum and russ loves tiwtter so there it is. Ask away on russ and get a fast answer.

Till today I still don't get why MechWarrior Online's website is mwomercs.com instead of just mwo.com.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone has tried to set up their thrustmaster for mwo. Gas/Brake: Forward/Reverse, rotation for turning, paddle shifters for twist, arrow keys for elevation/depression, crap load of buttons for weapon grouping and to top it all off a sequential shifter for consumables.

If you're willing to not only set that all up but actually drop in a match with it, you should never own a box of crayons.

Yes, I have thank-you and couldn't get it to work!

Some of us are handicapped and play one-handed. I like my crayons and challenge you to tape your dominant hand to the seat rest or desk and play MWO one handed. What a challenge, Hmmmm?

A fully configured flight stick would make this game 100% better for the few of us that are hand/arm disabled.

And my post was directed at those fully capable that do it. Maybe ask for clarity before getting all pissy? Hell, i used to know a guy that played APB:R with his feet... i think that's impressive af and awesome that he found a way to play a game he enjoyed.

Does them making a single pane website count as PGI finally making an attempt to develop and expand their market presence?

I’m gonna pretend that it does.

Good Job PGI! Well done.
This is almost like brand development!
Can actual advertising be far away?

After all these years you guys are finally growing up.

I’m getting a little teary.

I’m just so proud of you!

Must remember to add a link to these forums if they ever add a forum over there so people can get the whole PGI/Mechwarrior love vibration that exists.

Bud, this sucks man. It's like 6 fricking pictures of the same material that's over 8 months old, a short story and a cheap MWO throw in "Hey you there, while here why don't you mosey on over to MWO?"

Nah man, the only things they got right was the website domain and a smooth format.

The rest is PGI no meat, all bones. Yum, crunchy and fishy!!

Its 6 fricking pictures...

Its also 100% more marketing than they have done since the steam launch.

For PGI this is a marketing triumph!

when i started playing i was using my ch hotas. i stopped around the time fp came out. now that pgi has gone full on esports using a joystick would be a not very enjoyable experience. especially if you happen to be in t1. its great for immersion so i will probibly use it in mw5.

True. I'm going to make restrained effort to reel in my salt dispersion, I've been particularly salty as of late. I mean it's extremely limited in scope and info, but the site is very streamlined, so I guess that's something, right? Quality looking simple website with very limited information? Sold!
