Good guide. I must admit I'm still quite pessimistic about MW:O however. I don't like F2P models much and God will I miss singleplayer.

I do honestly hope I am wrong.

[Lettuce Prey]

I'd totally read a For Dummies book if it was written by you!

[Graeves]

Huh... that's interesting...

Usually, when people post these long threads I lose interest after the 2nd paragraph but your writing-style is rather catchy.
I read the whole thing!

Question: Will there be a single player campaign in MWO? Something like Starcraft or Mech 4 Mercenaries?

At this time there are no plans to develop a single-player campaign. They are focusing all of their programming resources into making the Player-vs.-Player side of the game fully functional and vastly expansive before any fundamental shifts will be made in their design paradigm...

(read: It's not in the budget right now)

They are developing MW:O as a competitive game instead of a Campaign-based single player game because: it offers some unique marketing avenues; it allows for the territory-control and "Faction Identification" that people often seek in video games; the fact that Mechs take huge quantities of damage and [practically] disintegrate over time instead of spontaneously dying from single headshots cause Mech battles to be mythodical and very rewarding... like a campaign mission; the MechWarrior/BattleTech Community is so awesome and socially freindly that anyone will feel welcome to the fray & you won't have to deal with the limitless immaturity found in other multiplayer gaming environments.

Thanks Prosperity! Great post. exactly what I needed to get my hopes up :-)

[Uragiri Miyuki]

I just joined and when I first jumped on this post was pinned and quite helpful. Just scanning today (still lurking around to get a good feel for the forums) and noticed this post is no longer pinned. Was this purposeful or an oversight? Thought I'd point it out.

Thanks for the great post!
