I have started playing Faction Play and intend to play it occasionally as a break from the standard quick matches. Currently, I just look at what battle is happening and pick a side. However, I have noticed that pledging loyalty gives better rewards than being just a mercenary.

If I pick a Clan faction will I:
1. Still be able to pick either side (IS/Clan) in the current battle or will I always have to pick the clan side?.
2. Still be able to play in any current battle whenever I look at Faction Play, or will I have to wait for battles that my clan is fighting?
3. Be able to break this pledge or is it permanent?

Thanks

1/ you'll have to fight on the clan side
2/ the particular clan or house does not matter, it's clan vs IS
3/ you can break your affiliation at any time without any penalty, just select a new faction

You can pledge loyalty to any faction (Inner Sphere / Clan) and sub-faction (Free Worlds League / Clan Diamond Shark / Draconis Combine / etc.). It really makes no difference except for earning factional rewards.

The only thing that matters is that any sub-faction (Clan Wolf / Clan Ghost Bear / Clan Steel Viper / etc.) can fight battles on behalf of its respective faction (Clan). Ditto for the Inner Sphere - any IS sub-faction (FWL / LC / FedSuns / etc.) simply fights for the Inner Sphere in the Faction Play conflict.

As for breaking the pledge, you can do it at any moment - every two minutes, if you wish. Then you can pledge new loyalty to any faction (IS / Clan) and any sub-faction.

Use that big button to break the pledge and then pledge your loyalty to any other Clan or IS faction you wish.

Yes, you can break your Loyalty affiliation at any time without any penalty, just select a new faction...

(There is no more penalty for changing Loyalty; if you search for older MWO postings, it might mention of such a penalty...
But now, there is no more penalty for changing Loyalty).
