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!

Defiance Industries.

As for me i'll be reppin Silver Wyrm if i had to choose from that pic.

[Bud Crue]

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!

[Khobai]

no point in playing solaris unless they add free for all

[Bombast]

Assuming I play, the one with the most favorable payouts.

It's going to be offensively cheesy.

Defiance Industries, without a doubt. These are the people who made such lovable Steiner mechs like the Fafnir and Zeus.

[MischiefSC]

I'll play it until almost everyone quits because it's going to be an unmitigated slaughter.

[Armored Yokai]

Anything that supports the Draconis Combine and is against davion and clan

[JediPanther]

I don't have any intrest in playing it unless the rewards are really good. Now if it has a live spectator option where you randomly get to watch from the pov of someone fighting I'll have to log into the game a lot more. I do enough 1vs1,2vs1,3vs1 etc as a light pilot in qp.

From the OP that would be Silver Wyrm. Welcome aboard! Grab your Hachiwara and take to Ishiyama, those Davions won't see that vibroblade coming. : )

Its 1v1, 2v2 and has up to 32 spectator slots which im sure get the same options as all other spectators in this game. Free cam as well as cockpit views of all pilots.

That sounds cool but pgi usually half ***-es in the execution of ideas even when they sound great. Free cam for areail views would let people do some interesting fan videos via programs like bandicam. Hopefully pgi will break their record for once and it will work like people want it to not pgi's standard of it works screw it on the the next thing.

Unless there are worthy exclusive rewards, I aint touching Solaris.

[Will9761]

Based on the sponsors, I see the faction based ones are:

Blue Shot Weapons - House Steiner
Defiance Industries - House Steiner
Innovative Design Concepts - House Steiner
Norse-Storm - House Steiner
Silver Wyrm Ltd - House Kurita

I hope more sponsors get added soon.

Boy, now that is an understatement !!!

No thanks......I'll focus my game time on where my team is and it ain't anywhere near an arena......

The vampire slayer?

[ZippySpeedMonkey]

No One.

It's going to be nothing but a SRM metafest.

Not worth my time.

[PocketYoda]

I'll fight for the blank one
