Yes to #1

No to #2....I already paid founder money only to get suckered with false promises and bait and switch. Won't do it again for any game ever.

I would greatly prefer a multiplayer campaign, where instead of AI I get to fight real people in single player style mission objectives.

much rather see all those potential AI programming resources go into that.

Christ on a crutch, no!

I don't have anything personal against anybody at PGI, but holy hell these guys are simply not good programmers. Any single player game they make is going to be just as bad as this cleveland steamer.

While I would actually love to have a MW coop/singleplayer game, I DO NOT want PGI to make it.

As much as I would love single player campaign I have to agree with Niko.

Maybe if they ever find they have the time, epic scale co-op? Though that kind of free resources will probably happen on the 10th of never.

One step at a time.

Soon:
1. PvP deathmatch (now)
2. PvP imbalanced matches (attacker/defender)
3. PvP full scenarios
4. PvP chained scenarios

Eventually:
5. PvE static defense assault
6. PvE "zombie" mode with conventional attackers v player 'mechs
7. PvE deathmatch, perhaps with AIs filling in to ensure good matchmaking
8. PvE scenarios
9. chained PvE scenarios
10. add storyline and call it a co-op campaign

One sad day:
11. EvE we all go home while our 'mechs fight each other like dueling Terminators.

Oh but it does: PGI can sell story packages for MC.


As everybody is aware it will/would be a long way to go. But I waited roughly ten years for MWO.
So I have patience and eventually there might be a story driven MechWarrior game.

I want but I'd have to add the qualifier of set around 3025, far closer to the table top than this is..and nothing like that pointless browser card game being promoted as mechwarrior tactics.

It would need pilot xp skill sets, be at least company strength, have more mech options from the word go, not added in dribs and drabs, would need the victor to be in it and the rebuild unseen.

About the only people I think get an A from both platforms are MWO art team, who make the mech wireframes,and the maps keep those, but the mech's need to be scaled properly.

lol just redo Mech comander that will actually load on 64bit win7 or vista (i'm actually considering buying a cheap 32bit based pc to play the freeware version, so I can actually play a game close to battletech as I can't get the thing to run on 'modern' operating systems)

Petition for players to read up first-

PGI said they'd love to, eventually, if it turns out to be possible.

Jesus people, let them finish one game first.

If there's to be another SP game it'll be another dev under the IGP banner.

I had really hoped MWO would be co-op first.

I'm all for it. I was originally very excited about MW5 and was disappointed when it didn't materialize. I wasn't super keen on making it a F2P Online FPS but I think they have done a very good job and the game is very fun. Of course this would be something to consider a year or so in the future when they have some more free time and a larger staff. They could simplify things by using in game assets as has been suggested.

CO-OP or Single player would be good once they finish this. Even more I'd love to see computer controlled combined arms (tanks, infantry, VTOLs, Aerospace, Turrets) added to the PVP for a little added "oomph".

I can dream.

A good idea would be co-op campaigns. Like 10 mission campaign with full voice-overs and unique mechs vs. I'd say its a great way to explore clans. But i dont think it'd be possible for at least another 3-4 years, coz they need to balance game fix bugs, add more content and then they can start to make somethin like this.
