I think Mechwarror 4 and Mechcommander 2 have had better laser effect compare to Mechwarrior online.Dont you think so ?.

[Mason Ventris]

You're my dear sir are out of your mind. Laser effects look pretty good and could EVEN LOOK BETTER.

[Fatty]

To each his own, i guess. Personally, I think that they look just fine.

MW4's starwars lasers were realistic? Lasers can't even do that though...

[Mims]

Realistic lasers.... Have never seen one, and never will. because light moves to quickly, and is invisible to the naked eye. the light your seeing now is a refraction off an object. When have you ever seen the lasers on laser pointers? when their is smoke, dust or vapor for it to reflect off.

What are you talking about?

You realize this is a early beta right.

[Fluffinator]

Negative they actually fixed lasers. The others all worked like a pulse or burst laser even on the standard ones which did not make sence at all.

yup real lasers used in the military for FLIR, TAG, HEL etc are all out of visible range.. So far, MWO's lasers (while still visible) behave pretty close to realistic expectations so Im totally cool with that. I admit I will miss MW4 HDP lasers that sounded like cracking thunder but MWOs look pretty damn awesome. Id like to see maybe some erupting smoke and ragged flying bits. They seem to just make nice glowing holes but eh.. Im happy with them as they are and maybe the effects can be beefed up in some post launch update.

if you take the blueray lazer out of your Disk drive , its powerful enough to pop a balloon,
but thats about as much realistic looking as we are gonna see.

its syfi ,its a game what is realistic looking?

Oh, really?

Do tell me more.

[Hakija]

If my memory of the novels is right, the lasers were described as invisible unless in smoke, and they were red. I don't think I've ever seen any game anywhere that does that.

[Dlardrageth]

You have seen exactly how many minutes of actual gameplay so far to draw this conclusion?

Laser effect looks great, probably the best I've seen in a modern game.

[ZnSeventeen]

I think they look good, and if a laser is strong and wide beamed enough it can be seen as long as there is even a small amount of water or dust in the air. (So no luck in space.) Of course if the lasers were IR, it would be different, but they aren't. So yay! (IR lasers just don't make pretty effects!)

Welcome to MWO - Maskor84

Please visit the thread,"New Players Start here" and the dev blogs, it will get you up to date as to what is going on with MWO progress.

thank you all, but this dead horse has been kicked one too many times.

the Devs are aware of the likes and dislikes for the MWO laser effects.

lets find something else to chat about...
