Great, now you have given them a blog title.

Now that corny phrase is forever in the BTech Lexicon.

I went for 'Role Warfare'. As we really need to get some of the roles established in a lance. (Eg: DPS, Tank, Healer? lol)

This is a Robot Righting Game. I hope we move beyond the DPS/Tank/Healer paradigm.

I went for role play too. There are no healer mechs; only MRB's and hangars can fix your mechs.

And I just assumed the APC's and resupply points were healers, all you need is more bullets, right? I'm hoping role warfare, I'd like to get an idea of how the different weight classes will pan out.

Information Warfare is probably more likely, since it reveals less about the game than Role Warfare.

I really want to know how Role Warfare will ensure that every single class of battlemech can be useful in a match. That's where balance hinges, and I'm most interested in figuring out how a Spider can be a useful choice based on how the game is worked.

However, detail on the information warfare would be great. I'm really keen on seeing how far PGI will take this aspect of the game.

Picked Role Warfare here. Be nice to know how the Commander Role, for one, is going to be intergrated into what amounts to be a Planetarty capture/Fighting Game, at least for the first few weeks/months.

We came to the conclusion. There is nothing, that could change the result of this. Most people prefer to get info about information warfare, which doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. The real question now is: "When will they annouce the plan for this month?". B)

You can pat yourself on the back, because you achieved what you wanted: No Urbie Warfare month! B)

Information warfare:

Because it will help us to define the roll of the lighter mechs throughout the life of the game. Something which will set this game apart from 2d games like WoT and STO.

It is because they have more Beta ready info to pass out than the other ones. -_-

BUT, if it is also because they are still "debating" what the finalized Weapons Firing scheme will be and what will be allowable under Mech Customization, then I can wait on them. B)

I was actually just watching the Battletech Animated Series and they use that quote a lot. I love it.
