Thank you, PGI.

Hold on, busy throwing money at my computer screen

Tiny little nit pick here: "Coming out of this triangle are an arrow, to represent the direction the ’Mech’s feet are facing" shouldn't that be "Coming out of this triangle is an arrow, to represent the direction the ’Mech’s feet are facing"?

Other than that, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. *ahem* now then, how about a video? *nudgenudgewinkwink*

[Chuckie]

Not to be a Debbie Downer.. But will we see specific GDC announcements and releases special to GDC..

I.E. In game footage, etc..

I only ask because I have work I should be doing.. but dont want to miss anything

[Damocles]

ya'll gonna need a new section in media for IN GAME SCREENS

yay!

[phalanx]

My favorite part is the innovative Movement scheme.

But I would like to hear about the Cockpit Monitors, and in particular what relation they have to the modules.

Flamers + possible ammo explosions = very annoying light mechs.

[Dr Roshima]

Awesome, the controls are EXACTLY the same like in MWLL xD

[Risky]

Now for the UrbanMech with Hellokitty paint job to be announced!

Exactly.

Trees and other larger solid obstacles can stop a BattleMech dead in its tracks.
BattleMechs will take damage if they fall from too high up. The amount of damage sustained will increase with the fall height.

Wait a minute... that's a pretty damn sturdy tree. That may need to be looked in to and adjusted.

Also.. if they fall from too high up? So no damage on a normal fall, from, say, taking too much damage? The act of falling itself doesn't deal damage correct?

I might ask this for Q&A but...I'll throw it out here:

RE: Mech Operations (Movement) - does Pivot refer to just torso-twisting or is that an 'in-motion' pivot on the foot?

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

Pivot = torso twist.

Dihm, I'm betting they mean not just falling but also landing after JJ'ing. May need to feather those jets a bit coming down in a big boy.

I'm glad to see actual concrete information about gameplay, and I'm eagerly waiting for MechLab information, but given how the controls are going to work, I'm starting to wonder about how well the controls will translate to those of us who want to play using HOTAS setups. I've got a Saitek X52 set that I dug out and dusted off specifically because of MWO, and if I don't get to use it, I will be a sad panda.

I'll still play, in all probability, but it's just that I'd rather play with a joystick and a throttle, as I have for all previous MechWarrior games, rather than keyboard and mouse.

Just about positive we'll be able to use joysticks.

[Damocles]

I doubt any HOTAS will have trouble mapping controls to it, but as always concrete info on that would be appreciated

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

They have said in the past that they are working on peripheral compatability. Plus in some of the pics (I think it was Bryan's desk?) there were HOTAS setups for testing.

[LordKelvin]

I have so, so, SO many questions to ask once the Q&A session begins...

[Hartsblade]

Great amount of info!! Can't wait to see part 2!
