I was going to make a sarcastic comment about Russ Bullock and this game, but realized that I just don't care much anymore.

I loved this franchise since the first Mechwarrior PC game came out around 30 years ago, but Russ "4uckernuts" Bullock and PGI killed it for me.

Maybe if EPIC GAMES gives MW5 out as a freebie one day I'll give it a try. As long as I can fool myself into believing Russ gets no money out of it.

Enjoy the game, just don't give the ******** any money at this point. They care as little for you as I care for them.

If the BattleTech Franchise gets ruined in terms of real-time gaming, nobody will want to touch making a MechWarrior game for at least 20 years after that. We would all then suffer again, just like the gap I felt between MechWarrior 2&3 and MWO, which is something that I would never wish upon the BattleTech Franchise due to how good it can be.

As a franchise yes, but not as genre. There will be other robot games.

Are we all pressing F or are you doing something with the license in the next 5 years that was renewed? It's relevant and people want to know.

Story of MWO is following:
1) Pump all money from MWO to develop MW5
2) Completely forget about MWO due to having money from MW5 sales
3) Run out of money and remember about MWO
4) Put everything on sale almost every week to bring players back
5) Merge queue due to lack of players
6) ...
7) PROFIT!

My prediction is as follows:

1) MW5 DLC 1

2) MW5 DLC 2

3) MW5 Clan Expansion

4) MWO2

i have a feeling it will go more like

1 mw5 dlc
2 mw5 dlc fails to sell
3 pgi gets out of mw and finds some other old franchise to exploit.

i mean they could do their own ip, but they haven't exactly instilled any brand loyalty with their current and past customers. hell if i see pgi on any reboot of any of my past beloved franchises, im probably going to give it a pass and spare myself the grief.

Ruin 30+ year old IP with such finesse that PGI will be a case-study for generations to come.

Isn't that what EA did with Star Wars though ?

Fixed

[Reposter]

We probably only need New Maps and maybe Game Modes if they bother to add anything, not asking for much but better than not asking as well.

MWO has no future. Support doesn't even respond anymore.

Disney did it. EA kind of redeemed themselves with their latest Star Wars game although it's a mix-'n-mash of features from loads of UBIsoft games. That said, Mandalorian was kind of good.

For me reason for quitting was plain and simple. Ok, 12v12, 4x3 and Clans had broken balance. Ok, there weren't enough players for MM to work properly. Ok, overall shift toward higher 'Mech speeds Meta forced larger map design, that destroyed many good maps. But PGI did nothing to make all that loses and bad matches worth time, wasted in this game. I mean, when you have proper MM, you know, that every loss brings you closer to lower ratings = better game. But when there is no proper MM and you have that lose streak, you understand, that you just waste your time, because things will NEVER get better. PGI just needed to implement some "You play against tryhards" bonus to rewards or something like that.
