Smoke Jaguars DID NOT used atomics. Those were Clan Wolverine.
Jags "just" used orbital bombardment.

Until I can remember where I read that they used nukes I will agree with you that I remembered incorrectly.

That was was unexpectedly fast.
Get ready for profit.

This is the moment I've been waiting for!

1. Hopefully preorder on GOG.com !

2. Any MW5:Clans preorder goodies similar to MW5 preorder:
~Catapult CPLT-C2(S), for MWO in-game
~Warhammer WHM-9D(S), for MWO in-game
~Marauder MAD-9M(S), for MWO in-game
~King Crab KGC-001(S), for MWO in-game
~Unique warhorns for MWO in-game

and/or :

3. As martian said, Preorder MW5:Clans also gives you a free Ultimate Pack:

(Oh, how I regret just missing out on the original MW5 Preorder!)

You are so naive...

Thank you for the new MechWarrior installment and the new campaign.

I have got one or two questions, if you do not mind:

1) Will this game be available on GOG.com?

2) What steps are you going to take as not to repeat that previous MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Epic/Steam/GOG preorder fiasco?

3) All these things (Clan invaders vs. other Clan invaders vs. Inner Sphere armies and mercenaries) have already been done in previous MechWarrior and MechCommander titles - specifically, MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, MechWarrior 2, MechWarrior 2: Ghost Bear's Legacy, MechWarrior 3 and MechCommander 1 with its expansion pack.

What new features will your game bring? Tell us some reasons why we should pre-order your new game.

^THIS &some more Info would be good.And when it´s the same as Mercenaires just with Clan mechs,they can keep their s##t. For sure i am not preordering again anything from PGI. Didnt forget my so exclusive "Closed Beta" access for MW5 (what a shame that instant action Beta jez but yeah pgi has experience with "Betas"^^ n)

Actually, they were not. If we compare their deeds with the things that the Star League and the Great Houses have done during the last few centuries, then we come to the conclusion that the Smoke Jaguars were actually quite harmless.

Yes, there is one.

The whole purpose of the Clans was to take and rebuild the Inner-Sphere in Kerensky's vision.

I've added this to the GOG.com community wishlist, as I noticed the GOG logo conveniently missing at the bottom of the main page at https://mw5clans.com/.

Here's hoping 1) you honor a wishlist entry on GOG for any cross promotions with MWO, and 2) you can at least announce a GOG release date, even if it isn't on launch day.

Cheers.

[Vellron2005]

OMG! FINALLY!

You guys made me so happy with this announcement.. Please don't mess it up!

Here's a few ideas/comments..

1) Please, please, please use Unreal Engine 5

2) I'm not a fan of Clan Smoke Jaguar, greatly preferring Wolf, so I hope for a Wolf DLC..

3) Please make the story much deeper, the characters much more fleshed out and important, and generally make the whole game much more rpg-ish than Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries.

4) Why name it Mechwarrior "5" though? Why not go for 6 and be done with it, since it's a stand alone game?

5) You guys really don't want players to have nice round Union class dropships, huh?

6) Please teach our star-mates how to walk around buildings they are supposed to be protecting.. please..

7) Please let us meet the "Angry Clanner", a.k.a. the MWO Clan Betty guy, in-game..

MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries was also a standalone game, but since it used the game engine as the original MechWarrior 2 and took the place in the same period, it got the same designation.

MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries was also a standalone game, but since it used the game engine as the original MechWarrior 4: Vengeance and took the place in the same period, it got the same designation.

So it makes sense that MechWarrior 5: Clans gets the same designation as MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries.

Make it like Heavy Gear 1 (1997).

A campaign with no randomness and a separate instant action mode with random generated maps and encounters and a world (maybe galaxy) map.

And while we are on it: Some live action cutscenes, the cheaper the better.

[Reno Blade]

This is Great news! Definitely like the flashback of MW2 and MW2Mercs with the MW5 games.

Say, is it going to be Unreal Engine 5 (5.3) now ?

Are you going to implement a cross-game bonus, such as get X additional item/quest/event if you have MW5Merc?
(other games did the same, if you have the previous game/savegame, especially if they have decisions (e.g. Mass effect)

You could even go so far as making a cross-over mission that has your MW5M Merc unit fight your clan in MW5C.

Probably a bit too complicated for PGI.

But I got the Marauder II Mechpack with some cockpit stuff and MCs for preordering MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, so I hope that something similar could happen here too.

[Vellron2005]

Oh, and please... we want to "engage enhanced imaging!"

[Wing 0]

While I'm happy to see us finally getting a story on the clans, there is only one thing I want to tell you PGI.

DONT, YOU DARE PUT THIS GAME ON AN EXCLUSIVITY DEAL EVER AGAIN.

Alot of us have not forgotten that fiasco that was done back then nor would we be willing to forgive.

MW5 = MW2

Smoke Jags though?

It was a Smoke Jaguar Khan who spearheaded the invasion as ilKhan. Also MW2 covered the Wolves and Jade Falcons in the main campaign and the Ghost Bears were featured in the expansion pack so the Jags were due our time in the sun. I am so glad that the Clan I won my Bloodname with is finally getting featured. The children of Kerensky have returned.

There will be a time when our descendants
Return to reclaim what is our right.
With honor swelling their hearts, they will crusade
Against the dark emotions that have dimmed.
The Inner Sphere for so long.
But with the glory comes responsibility;
Without a pure soul we cannot give sight
To their blind lives, but will only blind ourselves.

This is the reverse of what happened to me. My first Mechwarrior game was MW3 and I had to play as a filthy freebirth fighting AGAINST the Smoke Jaguars.

You fought the Clans in MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, MechWarrior 3 and MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries.
