I know this thread is named "Wild speculation", but this is a little over the top.

How can you say that the Mech / Batthe Armor in District 9 would not be a good jumping off point for a Mechwarrior movie? It had the Mech toes, the chicken-walker legs. When I saw it I thought "I want to see a Mechwarrior movie done that well.
Now if I could figure out how to post the actual picture.

OK, so District 9's mech suite looked cool. But so did transformers.. which is not any better of a leap off point for Mechwarrior then district 9 was >__>

Speculation: Due to the noobie clamor for a training area / single-player needs... PGI reluctantly buckles and will provide a off-line training arena. However in a poorly veiled retaliation for the forced inclusion of this module, the training area is designed in the same vein as the venerable arcade shooter classic DUCK HUNT, in which Mechwarriors will test their targeting prowess shooting house emblazoned balloons that emerge vertically from behind various beautifully rendered foliage and landmarks.


Thanks to Xbox, MW:O will be able to turn your webcam into a moment capture device akin to the xbox kinnect which is how you will simulate aiming/firing. :D

Me-thinks you've missed the vain and flavor of this thread... It's entirely comprised of tongue-in-cheek, speculation bordering if not completely exceeding logical and or rational expectations.

When that reviewer mentioned a "Titan" 'mech, he was actually letting slip the planned MWO tie-in to the "Clash of the Titans" sequel movie. Players will be able to battle giant mythological monsters while either piloting a battlemech, or special battle armor designed with classical greek influences.

The ZEU-9S 'mech will be introduced as a part of this promotion, but will only be available as salvage from defeating a nightmare-difficulty NPC boss battle against an NPC mechwarrior voiced by Liam Neison at the end of an eight hour dungeon "raid" that requires a coordinated company-level force of players to complete.

Time for a little "3xtr3m3" Speculation...

Players will not be able to play as Clan for five years. In this version, at least.

To explain further.
This game is supposed to be about IS vs IS. Any News of mysterious forces in superior mechs will be only that, they will be reported in "Inner Sphere News".

Next year you will be able to play separately in an "Expansion" in the Kerensky Cluster. Maybe back when the clans were twenty in number and the Tech was Star League Tech.

Each year will see the Clans rapidly advance to the Invasion level tech.
While the IS plays catchup due to recovery of Clan Salvage and New science discoveries.

Finally, Five Years from now, both will merge after the Battle of Tukkayid.
When the Clans are merely a faction in the Inner Sphere. A balanced tech faction. Instead of an unbalancing Faction invading.

No MadCats versus hopelessly undergunned and underarmoured defenders. No Krakens taking down Atlas' at range. No player redux of Luthien or Sudeten, or Edo on Turtle Bay. Those will only be ISN feeds.

Welcome to the 3Xtr3m3's

Oh I want to try! First of all, let me preface my rant by saying I have all of the sourcebooks, tech readouts, novels, scenario books, map packs, and hex packs ever made, along with a map scale Leopard dropship and 973 painted miniatures (at least 100 of which are unseens). Ahem...

THIS GAME LOOKS LIKE GUNDAM WING AND I'VE BEEN PLAYING BATTLEDROIDS SINCE 1978 I HATE THAT THIS GAME IS PLAY TO WIN I DON'T WANT ANOTHER WOLRD OF TANKS AND COMMANDER CLASS IS GOING TO HAVE TACTICAL NUKES WHICH IS JUST A WIN BUTTON AND WHY WON'T THIS GAME HAVE CLANS AND CLAN TECH STUPID FREEBIRTH SCUM OF THE INNER SPHERE ARE IGNORANT AND FEARFUL OF KERENSKY'S CHILDREN AND I HEARD THAT THE ONLY MECH YOU CAN DRIVE WHEN YOU START IS THE SENTINEL WHICH I GUESS IS KINDA COOL BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD MECH

Am I doing it right?

:lol: THE SKY IS GREEN! let's argue.

PGI will reinvent MechWarrior with a brand new storyline.

After the Clan invasion, an alien force will invade the Inner Sphere, forcing the Clans and the Successor States to join forces.

We'll have 3 free Mech Bays and after combat damage will be tallied and we will have to wait hours and or days for the repair depending on severity x Mech weight before we can use each Mech again.

But you'll be able to pay cash for more slots for more Mechs or for Rush Job orders that will cut down on the time we wait.

Instead of a robotic female voice, the crew from the original Top Gear will add voice work to the game for your battle computer.

On the other hand, if the idea of stepping on Jeremy Clarkson in my mech is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Speculation: The most expensive "Pay-to-Win" item will be nude skins for your Mech...

Oi... Considering the size of the Atlases cod-piece... This could be very distracting. :(
