Bryan,

I have asked this of several at PGI, that sounds great except for the part launches with random faction players. Will there be an option to launch with friends in missions, lance size or larger even upto company size if each of those players are in the same faction and qualify for the mission thru ingame xp/loyalty/alliance etc?

In otherwords. I have gained acceptance into the NWH MERC Faction (fictitious at this moment) of MWO. 11 of my friends have also gained the same admittance to the faction. We are all friends and thru the use of voip can all get to the same screen at the same time to launch a mission together, we have all become friends thru the Official Friends List on MWO (also fictitious at the moment). Will we be able to launch and play together or do we have to go thru the scrambled popcorn roulette wheel of PGI's who gets to play with who guess machine?

I intend to try to play with my friends in this game. I assume (DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER) there will be some form of matchmaking allowing me to have friends and play in the same games with them. I also will be grinding this game and know I will be playing when my friends are not online and plan on playing with random people of all factions. I prefer not to. I prefer to play with people who are mature, goal oriented and attempt team work and communication. Impossible in pub games in a multiplayer game online you say? I believe it is possible and will always try to achieve this.

Chris

A simple example of faction play.

"...simple..."

I dearly hope the stress is on "simple" and that the option to drop as a pre-made House group (Lance or Company, full or partial) will be available some time in the future.

Interesting idea.... so the mission for the Gray Death Legion could be to take down a Marauder with a Locust.

Which would be epic, but would also require lots of circumstantial advantages for the Locust pilot.
Also Inferno SRMs (which probably won't be in the game)...

I keep seeing mention of this, and no reference! ::anguish:: There's no news on the front page, either, aside from the ISN flashes. @_@

Inferno SRMs would be so sweet.... let us hope.
