Any one where they are?

i cant find them on its own website..

so can anyone direct me to them..

its kind of pointless to discuss about MW5 in a sub forum of MWO.

also did they not talked about some kind of updated version of the MW5 website?

They don't exist. Why? I have no idea. The closest you can get is the private discord, and access to that has been tied to the preorder. Unlike most old MWO backers I have no axe to grind against PGI in general, I do think this is a really foolish thing to do.

so the only 'official' one is discord which is kind of locked to people who have pre ordered.. and thats about it..

weird.. i was hoping by this time we would have a an official dedicated forum for the game itself.

The MW5 Forum is called Twitter
I asked at the AMA about MW5 forums but wasn't quick enough so time was up before we got to that question.

My best guess is that we will see it around November when the rest of the marketing is supposed to start.

I asked and they pretty much said that discord would be better for everyone....I disagree with that to an extreme, but whatever....

[Rorik Thrumsalr]

Agreed. As someone with access to the discord I've got to say a forum would be a far more effective means of organizing thoughts and discussion. I mean, would it really be that hard to add one to the existing MWO forums??

I think they prefer Discord because any dissenting opinion disappears pretty quick. Where as with a forum the thread is there for all to see until a mod decides to lock and move it. Enough time for people to get together and ferment.

but the discord channel is for pre ordered people only..yes?

or is it open for anyone to join?

I'm guessing a forum closer to launch. Maybe around the time of the Demo release date.

That's what I'm thinking. A time to coincide with the demo to allow players to discuss it and exchange feedback. It's a good test of the forum too before official launch.

Again, just a guess on my part.
