So awesome intro. If you do a quick search on YT you will find a few nice remakes of that intro and some of the other ones in MW2

I'll have to check that out. MW2 always had the best intro.

Also dayum has it been a long time since I looked at this thread.

well sadly.... the clans got moved to "eventually™", so all the information there is good, except for them using the 1:1 ratio which was apparently thrown out the window..........into a moving dump-truck and taken god knows where.

I love the fact that the game is sticking to cannon and bringing out mechs chronologically. Big kudos and my advice for clan war make larger maps and let the inner vs. outer etc fight in their clan mechs. Imagine that! ***** I just shed a tear* There better be at least 2 hero mad cat versions!! Ya'll better not fake on the Mad Cat!!!

They stated they will not use "canon" custom variants for their hero 'Mechs because their stats are not explained (or because characters use prime variants of such 'Mechs).. So no Vlad Ward's Timberwolf.

MW2 and 3 were the best, MW4 was pants imho,

I want to see some classic mechs from the inner sphere, the Annihilator was always fun in MW3 which is bang on the time line with MWO.

To incorporate clanger (oops sorry Clanner) Mechs will be worth seeing, a Clan add on would be good or random BOT Clan mechs dropping into public games to menace both teams would be funny but I'm guessing problematic

I'm curious where you saw that clans will become playable factions? So far all I see is that we can buy and use clan mechs. I want to believe they'll actually be factions distinct, but I'm having a hard time seeing it.

Honest question. They've said nothing about adding a pile of Clan factions to CW that I can find. I'm honestly worried that clan mechs are going to arrive 1 month after CW comes out and just be added as extra mechs for the IS factions to play.

From the timeline expectations, it looks like the first stages of CW are slated to come out before the Clans. This includes player groups. Now, will this be tied into LOCKED CLAN or LOCKED IS options? No clue. At least you will be able to officially be a unit as far as the game is concerned.

My question about CW is "what does it change?" Hear me out for a sec.... If CW gets released tomorrow, the games will still play out the same way as it has. Attacking a planet? Play MWO. Defending a planet? Play MWO. Yes, it seems that holding certain territory and having certain loyalties will mess with the prices of mechs on the black market, but if you can buy the mechs with cash anyways that is not a barrier anyways. Really the reason I am rather apathetic about the whole CW thing. MW3 and MW4 lasted a long time on a combination of player made leagues and the ability to host private matches. Those two tools are just about all MWO needs, really. Anything else is fluff IMO.

So, we might very well see Clan mechs in IS hands day one of their release. Supposedly tighter tonnage limitations will be set in place for Clan mechs. If it is 60 tons per player per IS mech, it might be 50 tons per player per Clan mech when the team total available tonnage is tallied up.

So when do y'all expect the f2p Clan mechs will arrive? A month after shot-to-your-wallet clan mechs are released? Longer? Earlier?

Longer I think. The sooner the F2P Mechs come, the sooner we can stop giving them our money.

They stopped selling Phoenix and Saber (December 3rd) before Saber was released (December 17th). I would expect them to stop selling the Clan package before they release it. Maybe a Clan Reinforcement package (available only to those who purchased at least some part of the original) would be announced after that.

I would expect at least some of the Clan 'Mechs to be available for C-Bills/MC within two months of package release. The Locust was available for C-Bills/MC on Phoenix release day, so it makes sense.

And in the name of hope, I shall "like" your post.

These kind of lore should have came from pgi. Nicely done.

All mechs in mwo are light, medium, heavy and assault. There is no lore for them.
