Funny, you see it as self righteous TT preaching and I see it as people trying to keep the game as close to the source material as possible. And obviously, PGI thinks the same was as they've stated that they're going to follow TT rues is at all possible.

You also seem to be ignoring the self righteous preaching of the MW4 hardcore, epeen stroking crowd that seems to go as much out of their way to bash the TT crowd as the TT crowd goes to bashing them.

I think the culture shock being talked about is the fact that, from my understanding, the everything used in MW4 is so far from the source material that when those same Mechwarriors ('cause face it, we're ALL mechwarriors otherwise, we wouldn't be here) jump into an MWO Mech they're not going to get the type of performance they're use to from that same mech in MW4. Has noting to do with the "holy light that is TT".

You also didn't hesitant to jump on the insult bandwagon when said TT gamer insulted your MW4 manhood so i hope it made you feel better.

The source material is from a turn based board game, there is too much kicking and screaming when someone suggests anything contrary to that game. Saying someone will experience "culture shock" is far more extreme than saying they won't get the type of experience they are used to. Culture shock certainly implies a sense of superiority and is meant to be insulting. Also, I am not trying to defend MW4 it has many problems. But sticking to literally to TT rules, a game designed for a different medium demands some augmentation and compromise.

Dude, I’m clearly just messing with you at this point.

The reality is that all the top-tier league vets were in college during their golden years and traded large chunks of their lives to be as good as they were. Most of those players now have families and jobs and won’t be able to put in anywhere near the time they did. They’ll be smart, they’ll know each other extremely well and they'll remember how to move and shoot. That’s going to give them a huge advantage over someone who’s only played singleplayer and TT, whether you agree or not.

Unfortunately, the cold, hard reality is that all of us are going to die to the next generation of college students with time to burn and sharp minds looking to chew on anything but their studies. Most of those guys won't even know MWO exists yet.

lol, I should have gone with "that word, I do not think it means what you think it means..." it's a slightly more recognizable quote.

That's what I get for paraphrasing.

Dude, this thread was off the rails the second it was posted. Locking it would be no big loss. There's nothing in here worth saving.

Now that I've had a chance to read all 11 pages. I agree.
