After a long two days at work, seeing both the second Q&A and announcement of faction icons was more than enough reward. More than happy to show my allegiance to Davion after so long out of the battlefield. (Playing MW4Mercs campaign over and over doesn't count as experience any more).

I think it'd be cool to have player icons of famous canon MechWarriors or political leaders, or even a generic 'Mech chassis (of our choice) in a skin related to our chosen House.

Anyways I'm posting this more out of excitement than trying to make a point. Though recent developments have definitely reinforced my faith in PGI.

Today's announcements have been subtly explosive, to be honest.

Announcement of physical combat, and major clarifications of both the game's structure and faction mechanics.

What's not to be excited about?

[Oppi]

Hooray, finally we can all declare our loyalty to the first prince !

Now I need some snakes to blow holes into ! ^^

Umm neither do I. Going back to skim the Q&A again...

It was in the Massively article.

Players will sometimes jockey for the best positions, have to deal with an unfriendly environment, and even close to melee range. Unfortunately, melee has not been featured much in older, digital incarnations of the game, but Piranha plans on changing that. While details were sparse, the developers let us know that there would be a specific planet in MechWarrior that demands melee combat as a primary means for destruction. We're wondering whether this means that the planet has an atmosphere which does not allow for the use of ranged weapons or that the match simply has rules that forbid them. For now, the developers' lips are sealed about this post-launch feature.

Lots of speculation, but my guess is Solaris VII is the planet. Maybe as a testbed for melee combat.

This is the first time I pledge loyalty to a House. For many years I have been a High Ranking individual in a group of raider/pirates. I have been a mercenary pretty much all my time. However, seeing as my brother here has always been a House Davion pup. I will follow and pledge as so.

[Trooper2400]

Looking forward to playing the game and defending the honor of House Davion.
