When I first saw the thread title my peanut brain got overly hopeful and read it as "MWO" dev update.

[LordNothing]

as usual i will wait for the abridged transcripted version.

[BackShot]

I thought they finally created a mw5 sub forum ? I was wrong ?

[HellJumper]

script version yet anywhere?

Not that I've seen. Given there was nothing about MWO at all from Russ, despite in Dec saying there would be news in Jan... Kinda demotivated me and there was basically nothing about MWO.

The_b33f summarised the MWO part of the update better than I ever could: HERE


There was some good news for modders. Audio is now there/coming. So modders can actually mod that part (good news). More stuff to come for mod tools, still not a fully equipped mod tool - PGI working on it and more to come.

That's the cliffnotes mainly. DLC stuff is no real secret, didn't listen to that part.

Why can't y'all write this stuff down so we don't have to listen to your egos?

[Thorn Hallis]

Maybe I misheard it, but isn't he talking about MW5 Mechpacks instead of MWO Mechpacks?

[Nesutizale]

Thanks for the Video Sean and the timecodes.

No problem brosef!

[JediPanther]

So "no plans" to sum it up for mwo. Yep.

[HGAK47]

I havent played MWO in ages. Whats going on? is MW5 out now then? I see it has no multiplayer pvp. What is the future for MWO. Is it alive enough to reinstall the game?

"epic" decision right there...

[jss78]

The way I read Russ (which involves some mind-reading and conjecture because he doesn't say much) is PGI really doesn't know what they're going to do with MWO.
Russ strongly implies the recent lull in MWO development was because they were so busy with MW5. That's reasonable, but what now?

All this doesn't quite sound like a definite "MWO is dead" to me. Though it could well mean it. Phil said in a recent podcast that it's hard to understand why PGI would put any resources towards MWO when they could spend the same resources towards new MW5 content. And I agree this could be the real problem.

Group Queue is allegedly dead most of the time, Faction Play is active and Solo-yolo Queue is as it always was - caveat: I play EST prime-time (20:00-00:00)

Ah, the team member who bails with one more quickdrop on deck.

[TheCaptainJZ]

Can't watch the video right now but judging by the cliff notes, a whole lotta nothing?

[FRAGTAST1C]

Can we get some MWO goodies if we pre-purchase MW5 DLC?
