IF you have ever looked at the Skill Tree in MWO and ever asked yourself "What does this skill do?" Yes we can look at statistics all day long and yes thats all well and good. But how does that look and feel on the battlefield in a more visual sense?

If you are like me where seeing something visually helps you better understand a thing...then this is for you.

I created this video after someone asked about my take on the skill tree. Once I started REALLY delving into the skill tree and exploring what things ACTUALLY do....I realized that there is nothing out there really showing what the skill tree DOES.

Yes we have videos out there with stat crunching and saying what skills are better for this or that. Some of which peoples opinions seep into said discussions which dont help reflect what the skill itself really does in relation to actual gameplay.

This is not a FULL breakdown of the skill tree. i.e. going into statistics and what weapons benefit the most from what, or whether this skill is bad or good.

Rather this video is just to show how those skills translate to the battlefield with a simple visual side by side comparison (in most cases) showing both "with skills" and "without skills".

If you go into this video and constantly keep thinking, "I already know this. Yep that too. Who wouldn't know this already? It seriously says it right there at the bottom right...." .... then this video is obviously not for you. It is for the people who might still be learning the game. Or for people who have always been curious for curiosities sake.

I implore people to get into the testing grounds and test everything for yourself (especially in the sensor tree.) Mech science is half of this game we love. I am just hoping this makes it a little easier to understand.

***Warning...This is more meant for educational and curiosity purposes. So entertainment value is about as good as the teacher from Ferris Beullers day off. Just....a fair warning.***

****Edit....different link. Reuploaded due to my screw up. Everything should be good now. Enjoy.
