One thing to note is since it was MW2 that got you into the game, you are probably used to seeing many mech designs and concepts that are Clan related. This game as it stands right now is pre-Clan invasion. A good majority of what you might expect to be "common place" and therefore "instrumental to the foundation of a good Mechwarrior game" just simply does not exist YET. I stress that word because God knows I'm going to get haters. I would say do a little bit of online research into what this era of the Battletech/Mechwarrior is about. It is quite exciting and a great place to start for this type of game in my opinion. I just don't want you getting all pissed off if you don't see something right away or get the wrong idea of what is supposed to be going on in the "universe".

Oh yeah...the current year is 3048

A Good Pilot Can make any mech work to his situation. A good Mechwarrior can make any situation work to his mech.

are you saying...... NO SHADOWCATS?????

qq, what terrible game developers, I bet a cat with a pancake could code better.... lol. j/k. I like the thing I read where we were going to start out inner sphere and then have the clans hit during the game. Sounds sweet.

It gets worse then no clan mechs. Alot of the cool mechs people like aren't developed yet so no gunslinger, Templar, fafnir, uzuil, and many more they just aren't around yet. I love the 2 Gauss of the gunslinger but i cant drive it yet......

You should fight with the free people of Rasalhague so you can be on the forefront of that action.

Yes I am quite shameless.

I 'am' in the recruiting hall now, so send me a message about your group. I'll consider your offer.

I've said before, I'll pilot a Locust with a bad leg actuator if I can get back in a cockpit. Been too long. having an uber clan mech or even my favorite assault (MAD5A) doesn't bother me too much. The fact the devs seem to be looking ahead of 3049 makes me very happy.
I am excited that the game will evolve, and has so much potential.
