Thank you for your reply... I feel like sharing...

This is what I got so far.

[color="#000000"]The Sub-System I have chosen is the combat system, purpose is to maintain the exchange of firepower between each team. [/color]


[color="#000000"]MechWarrior Online is a 12 vs 12 PVP team based tactical warfare MMO, where information is ammunition and only one BattleMech is allowed each match. Each BattleMechs hit boxes are the Cockpit, Centre torso, Left, Right torso (front and back) Left Arm, Right Arm, and Left Leg, Right Leg. Each BattleMech Pilot is provided Radar to pick up enemy BattleMechs depending on range, a targeting computer for speed of acquisition and target gathering information regarding if the Enemy is damaged and if so where are the weak spots or what the armaments is. Some BattleMechs can equip Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) Which temporarily blocks radar, ASM which shoots down missiles within range and jump jets. There are three types of technology available InnerSphere, Clan and a hybrid of the two, all weapons when fired generate heat within a BattleMech which is governed by Heat-sinks, each engine requires 10 as a minimum, more can be equipped given there is room this is also affected by the environmental temperature on each map. The three groups of weapons, Energy weapons don’t use ammo but generate more heat, Ballistic weapons deal kinetic damage but use ammunition and Missiles use ammo and can provide out-of-sight fire support by using teammates lock-on.

Have fun all

I don't know about game dev courses, but there is now something called Progression Management System, and this is the biggest factor in tanking the player experience of games these days.

Fear the game that just hired a Senior Progression Management Engineer. They are mostly graduates from the EA Academy of Monetization Strategy.
