I like single player/coop campaigns with a good story. Hoping this is as engaging as it's being hyped up to be.

Would there be nice Pre-Order MW5 Clans mechs to be played in MWO?
(Similar to the MW5 Mercs Pre-Order mechs).

If there are nice Pre-Order Clan mechs that I can play in MWO, I'll be jumping to order this from GOG.com !
(Dire Wolf Omnimech with ECM in CT, but no JJ in CT, and both its left and right feet is freed up with no DHS, etc.)

In case anyone wants to know: The Firemoth is not the New Mech being released for MW5 Clans.

So forget it.

Why do you say that? There's no reason to not include it.

There better be a Kingfisher though.

I am happy to see that the MW franchise is getting back to a story driven campaign. I cannot wait to dive in!

I am wondering if this will have a tie in with MW5 Mercs for sake of post campaign merc missions vs Clans, clan salvage, and/or to continue the grind which is the clan invasion? Also, is this the first step forward in modernizing MWO with Unreal Engine 5?

I did some in-game footage capture but I am Freeborn not a Trueborn.

Will MW5:Clans be available on GOG?

[RacerX]

It just occurred to me. If MW5 Clans picks up where MW5 Mercs ends, then does that mean MW 3 is now a direct sequel to MW 5 Clans with Operation Bulldog?

Will we participate in the battle of Luthien? How about the Batte of Tukayyid? The Great Refusal?

[Renzor the Red]

Looks cool. So to be clear, this is a totally separate game than Mech 5 Mercs, right? Not a DLC etc?

[Lifeblight]

Alright... take my money. Thanks.

Correcto, mi amico. Totally separate for the Mercenary side of things.

Things that impressed me:

1) Switching to Unreal Engine 5 - THANK YOU for listening to me on this.

2) A return to cinematics - finally! I missed this sooo much in MW5:Mercs.. and MWO for that matter.. And they seem quite good in quality.. almost enough to make me remissness of the golden time of games before CGI cinematics where you still had actors giving us gems like Cane, Tanya and James Earl Jones from Command & Conquer for example..

3) Did I just see chunks flying off an enemy mech?! 8D

4) Didi I just see chunks flying off a VTOL and landing in mini-explosions of dust on the ground? 8D

5) The story-driven nature of the game with 5 player COOP

6) Top-down RTS-like command of your star-mates.. Seems useful.

Things I did not like / am worried about:

1) The Command wheel seems clunky and slow to issue orders - Please give us also a number-pushing command style like in regular MW5:Mercs where you just rapid-hit a combo of numbers and your guys knew what to do..

2) The Story-driven nature of the game - Its great, amazing, and thank you for that.. but PLEASE, also give us a procedurally generated instant-action game mode separate from the story. Or one that happens after the main story, so we can keep playing without "re-playing" post-game. Let us conquer those planets on our own! 8D

3) I did see the "scanning" that looked wire-meshy... but please.. give us "enhanced imaging"..

4) As somebody mentioned earlier.. for mechs that don't have hands, like the Timberwolf.. a melee attack should be a KICK. Battletech did it.. so can you.

Great job so far.. can't wait to play Mechwarrior 5: Clans!

I gotta say it´s looking very good. Hell, I am even starting to forgive the fact that we´re gonna have to play as these stravag crusaders!

The trailer looked flashy but I am concerned that it didn't seem to provide much actual gameplay information, almost to the point of leaving me feeling like they were purposely being vague. I'm not into buying a flashy cut-scene, I'm into buying a quality game, and I came away with very little information as to what the game is actually like.

Would be cool for some displates and maybe magic the gathering mech warrior cards.

[Pyc_MadWolf]

I just don't have the words! Only emotions! This is an incredible demo, I'm very impressed. Everything is very well done. I've been waiting for cinematic scenes, dialogues, and a good storyline in a linear campaign for a long time. The new features look really cool. It's just nostalgia with Mechcommnader. I'm looking forward to the game. I was very glad to hear the inner cuisine of the Clans, which is important and makes sense for mechwarriors and Clans in general. I hope they will tell us about other Clans as part of Operation Rebirth. And I want to see an encyclopedia with terms and history.

As a Freeborn I don't think I can partake! But it looks good!

Everything is fine, the videos are amazing. But the interface... Why is it so big? Why is there a bunch of lines and circles in the center of the screen? Because of them, the game itself cannot be seen.

It's a work in progress. This is early footage. As the release date draws closer, things will get ironed out..hopefully.

So far, I like what I saw & am cautiously optimistic. Looking forward to further updates. Hopefully we get to experience the invasion in waves as in the lore.
