It is kinda rude to assume that people are going to dislike this game. Lots of games come out all the time, and a lot of them have glitches out the ying, and dare I say yang. Heck it really is hard to find a game that can please people at every corner. There are very few in reality that I can think of that have ever made me super excited to play every day (well if I get the chance). Here is hoping that Mech Warrior Online is one of those games

What of MWO turns out to be World of Tanks with mechs? Ugh...

Then again, if it turns out to be League of Legends with repair bills and mechs, I would be very, very happy Thats the best F2P model I have seen to date.

The crucial optimistic feeling that I enjoy realated to MWO is that it - at least - appears to be something diffrent than everything else BT related we've met thus far. Especially regarding two aspects: graphics and the fact that it's going to be a simulator 1st person shooter and doing away with all that "cheating" involved in 3d person games.
That and the TRUE potential in becoming even better with the time. The huge lore and things that can be implemented. Apart from maybe WH40K, BT might be the biggest Universe out there. WoT is a child's play in comparison.

Think this article fits in good here. I've played since a buddy of mine showed me the original Mech Warrior on his computer at home back (late '80's?). We then played all the tabletop games, etc., etc.,

I don't expect miracles - but a solid, drive a mech, blow stuff up and change the (in-game) universe game. I'm too old for bloody miracles any more...

That article summed my thoughts up exactly. I'm extremely excited about the game, but I also understand they may need to make some allowances or changes to the game on things I might not like for various reasons, and I'm cool with that. If it gets me back in a mech cockpit, I don't really care. I'll play the game and if I enjoy it, I'll keep playing, if not, oh well, I'll stop and find something else to occupy my time.

I just see all these "ZOMG! This is going to be the best BT game evah!!!" posts out there and there's no way the game will ever live up to everyone's expectations. I'm sure PGI is going to make a great game, but I hope folks realize that it was their expectations to blame if they don't like the game, and not PGI's efforts.
