No one.

I figure I will play twice, three times if I get lucky, then get smeared as the head shot artists and truly skilled players dominate the mode. The idea of pretend sponsorship will be wasted on the vast majority as game play reality smashes their illusions. Solaris is gonna be sweet!
i just realized that since I no longer have to watch my back or really worry about range suddenly flamer headshot novas sound like an amazing idea. Also flamer thunderbolts or flamer phirannahs...

Sadly don't think there are enough players to make this work.

If you can just sign at the bottom... *drop of blood goes onto signature part* Ah that's alright, that'll do just nicely. *rolls up contract*

I guess I'll try playing it for two reasons - it's good training, and it will reward me with bolt-ons.. I want bolt-ons..

Other than that, It will be a way to train my fiancee without Her having to shoot me (which she refuses to do in private matches :P )

Leave it to Kurita to say Davion and Clan in the same breath which everyone else in the Inner Sphere would not be able to do.

None. It encourages more solo play, which is cancerous to community.


I just finished replying to another topic about PUBG an entirely solo game and also more popular than every other online game combined right now nearly. I also deleted the part of my reply about how MechWarrior Online ever listening to the guilds even for a fraction of a second cost them fortunes.

Fortnite dropped all other game development to go after FFA/Battle Royale also in fact. So some players say anyway.

I deleted that part of my reply in the other topic because I am tired of gloating about being right all the time. :)

As for the topic. Which ever is paying the most fame.

You clearly haven't played (or even read about) PUBG if you think it's a solo game.

Epic also dropped support for Paragon to further develop Fortnite: Battle Royale, which is a shame, because it was a decent MOBA in the same vein as SMITE

To be honest sir, I'm starting to pretty much class pro solo,advocates as not worth even acknowledging in the first place. Your point of view is so cancerous and damaging coupled with the fact you think your point is the right one is mind blowing. This is the only game in my near 15 years of online gaming where "pro solo" has even been a thing.
"teamwork is unfair" lolwut?

Sadly don't think there are enough players to make this work.

I'm not sure.... There is a business case and a case for individual or small team games in the current VG market.

Look, the whales are still buying everything.... We have a few on our team and we don't even play at all anymore in MWO and they are still buying !!!

I have a sneaky suspicion that PGI is banking on that if they temp close FP, the MS, 228, EMP, et al. will simply migrate to Solaris, business as usual, and then, shut FP down for good. A rebranding isn't too far a stretch if the comp guys and teams "take the hint" and migrate. It's not logical the way they are doing this but, I get the feeling "they don't have a choice".... Cryengine, I suspect is overclocked to the point of implosion and starting to error out normal play and is no longer cost effective to fix......Re-engining is too expensive.

Just a guess but, from a business perspective, the whales are still buying and there will be enough players for Solaris to break even and THEN, they'll close/shut down FP/CW and keep QP as a testing/training grounds...

To answer the topic: the Imperial Japanese Navy; where, some of my MWO teammates are; my brothers have a clan; and, my regimental affiliation team are at the moment. The rest are scattered in ARK, FO4, PS2 and a few more I don't remember...

I think the sad thing about the coming of Solaris is that Faction play, or rather the original term for it, Community Warfare, has been officially scraped for a good while now.

Considering that these mechs will be released around the same time Solaris will release, who will you fight for? Here's a picture of the more than likely sponsors.

I'll fight for Vengeance INC. Simply put; seems like a throwback to MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, one of my favorite MechWarrior games. Revenge!

A better question and still relevant topic. Who is going to play? Who actually cares?

Paragon was really good. PUBG is a new cancer that will die out fast.

You are correct Sir !!! It's was the reason we came here: to work together to achieve large goals and have a bunch of fun doing that. No comp or e-Sports.... Just a place for a bunch of old horse soldiers to 'do what we did" as kids.... Now, that just isn't going to happen and we've moved on a bit. Keep accounts open, play once a month or so and events with MC or good mechs as prizes... So sad.
