I, for one, am VERY excited about the game and I think that PGI is right on track.

Welcome back, Energy Echo.

I know you wanted MWO to be more like MA. There may yet be another MA in some form. They already have other MW games in the works. It would be logical that another MA might do very well unless MS has some legal issue with it.

As far as MWO goes, it will be a sim. I think every thread on this board confirms that MWO is in the best possible hands and PGI has taken this further and better than anyone has ever hoped for.

QFT! So far I am VERY pleased in the direction PGI has taken MWO

[FeldonKane]

I would agree. I am quite excited with the direction that the game is taking. Especially with the role warfare. Which makes me greatly happy because with playing MW:4 for a while, it turned in to people just taking assault mechs with jump jets, loading them up with heavy long range weapons, jumping from behind cover, shooting, and then landing behind cover. Makes the playing experience quite boring after a while. So it is great to see that other mechs have a very viable role to the multiplayer experience.

There ALWAYS has to be that 1 guy ....... EDIT: apparently he brought 2 of his friends.


Looking great! Excited to see it develop over the next few years.


Cheers.

How can you not be? After being MW-starved for so many years. It may not be the *perfect* game, but none are. I'll take what I can get at this point.

You may be starved, but MWLL has kept me quite full for almost 2 years. But very much looking forward to the professional development, full code access PGI has going

I love action mech games, so I WAS a bit underwhelmed when I first came to know that MW:O was slated to be a sim. What can one expect though, after all, it IS a MW game. That said, I have seen the videos of MW:O in motion and I am very impressed. The game moves faster and more fluid than I would have guessed a simulator to move. I also think that the game is visually very nice. Keep up the great work PGI!

PS- I believe that Reign of Thunder is taking pole position as far as mech action/arcade games goes. Game looks nice so far...

I voted no, those Piranha guys are just in it for the money.

RoT isn't gonna be all that awesome. I'll try it but, it's trying to cash in on the Mech genre revival that MW:O and Hawken seem to have sparked off. I'm also skeptical cause Day 1 hasn't released anything good in a while, last game that I remotely enjoyed from them was MA2. From what RoT appears to be is MA with new skins. This game has my primary interest.

I still say it's vaporware.

And the referee takes away a point for the low blow...! Ouch.

PS-I know you were joking

[KhanRad]

Looks great overall and seems to be sticking to as much of a BattleTech feel as possible. I'd like to see a couple of tweaks here and there like a numerical compass for better team navigation, and full joystick support.

They are just doing like those MA guys and trying to cash in on the BT brand name!!!

Werewolf, I don't see Hawken as any kind of real "spark" in the mech world. MW4 has been "leaving the light on" for MW fans for a good while now. I know not everyone enjoys it, but I cannot agree that Hawken has been any kind of really large influence on the recent spark in the mech world. I give most credit to PGI and the rest to RoT. Hawken is, IMHO, really a non-factor. I know that I won't even bother with it.

[Tronchaser]

Meh, I've played MWLL for the last couple of years also.. never quite could get into it. Although I think it's great that the MW-loving community stepped up to do it. Just not quite there, imo.

[SirDenOfYork]

I think they are right on and taking there time to get it RIGHT and i for one thank them for doing so....

Simple fact is though it sparked interest in some way shape and form and is up there with MW in terms of graphical fidelity and immersion. It goes for a gundamesque/ Phantom crash feel and nails it on the head. I love the looks of the combat and the feel of gritty that it gives off. I don't like the actual gameplay elements until I see more and detailed info. Which is why I'm here in my niche. The devs feed us and in turn we feed them as well with drive and a passion to make the game the best it can be. So I for one thank Hawken for showing up. It generated something you can't buy or make interest.

Well, you make a good point. Harumpf!
