Looking beautiful.

I think I need to pack my bags and run though, the ForumUserKiller scares me.

Is it just me, Or do the IGN people have no idea what to talk about when working with mechwarrior? I don't know it might just be but it sounds like they are really ill informed.

IGN are, for the most part, Console focused, so they are more used to FPS games and such. I personally don't mind, so long as they don't say anything negative about MWO just because it's different* from most AAA games these days.

*Different = Better

[Threat Doc]

Yes, and it seems as though their interest does not really go to anything beyond consoles. Unfortunately, and fortunately, there's not really anywhere else to go for the kind of coverage IGN can provide, as far as I know.

Ok I'll tell you - it's not open beta, nor release, nor any kind of beta. I mean, something big did happen, but this June 30th isn't MWO-related.

First, I hate you Garth for sending me into a wikipedia time warp.

Second... *puts on his tin foil hat* This is code for open beta coming even earlier than June 30th. See, the Tunguska event knocked over an estimated 80 million trees. Garth's code here is that they expect that by June 30th, MWO players will already have shot down/run over at least 80 million trees.

All we need to do is calculate the average number of trees that will be shot down per day in MWO, and then backtrack from June 30th and we'll have our launch date. Let's make it happen, people.

See thats the catch.. if you noticed in the videos.. the trees didn't fall down.. (Or at least I didn't see any fall down or go boom)

Not all the coding is in place yet. Lots of people have mentioned this, and the devs have replied. I hope to see flamers catching the trees on fire SOON ™!

[mekabuser]

Gotta say.. wow.. That timber type map looks GREAT... varied terrain, elevations nooks and crannies.. hot diggity. This is looking to be more and more epic win.

[mekabuser]

orzorn mentioned ppc//

[CoffiNail]

IIRC it is in the Assault one.

I noticed that around the 2 minute mark of the Assault video, it shows the arms crosshairs moving independently of the torso.

True but for LackOfCertaintys' wild speculation to be true will have to be able to destroy trees..

@ 1:30 mark.. Two big blue streaks that hit the Atlas.

@ 2:14 Cat fired into someone to the front left of the atlas so you could seem them through the trees..

Well, it kinda is considering Crytek's Crysis 2 states that Tunguska was the result of the Ceph and such. I mean, that's where Hargreave stole Ceph tech and such. Given both games run CryENGINE 3 they're somewhat related.

Well, no Vulture in the game, video, pics, or signatures, so it surely is just a misunderstandment.

Can you describe its look, or the part of video you saw it on?

Should be no vulture's in the game at all due to the time it takes place in, it could be a Catapult or perhaps the Dragon?
