Played MWO since beta. Played every other MW title. I'm not trying to intentionally be a downer. Just honest. Sorry if I disappointed you guys.
Like I said; I do hope co-op is worthwhile. Just... have my reservations at this point.

Don’t apologize to anyone for expressing your opinion. Contrary to what you were admonished for, you didn’t just post “this looks stupid”, but gave a lengthy, thought-out critique that was full of specifics. These forums are for discussion, not for groupthink, and certainly not for calling other posters “petulant children” for daring to have a negative opinion about something that was put out specifically FOR people to formulate opinions about.

The biggest problem I had was the mech computer talking over the person on comms.

Other then that I thought it looked good.

As long is fun and replayable. Im not expecting alot from them. Software company budget for projects get effect by things. There saving money using an existing engine for the game.
Part me expects MWO be upgrade once MW5 comes out.

I still think Living Legends is better MW game overall in comparison.

Few games use a brand new engine. Most just license whatever is offered on the market or update older engines. It is rare to see a company build a game from scratch these days. Takes longer and costs a lot more over the long haul. Besides, the Unreal engine is still far better than Crytek.

Glad i got new computer for xmas. this thing looks like it going be need alot horse power to run.

I still want laugh at King Crab being standard 3025ish mech, even with the retro-con of it extinction, there was suppose to be handful (what like dozen in entire inner sphere?) those things left.

I mean, there's only one ever seen in the trailers, IIRC.

King Crab does appear on the nominal cover for the game shown at MechCon too, so it seems its the new poster 'Mech.

Just like the abundant Star League 'Mechs in the HBS game. They go for the rule of cool, not really anything to do with canon.

Alex Iglesias did a seriously kick-ass version of it. I'd use it on the cover as well. See also, rule of cool.

True. I am slightly confused as to why they switched away from the Iconic Atlas, however.

Atlas is probably overexposed, and the King Crab is the only other 100 tonner available outside of the so-called rare Wolf's Dragoons Marauder II, Annihilator and Imp.  The Devastator is the only other 100 tonner available for 3025, and and that was a retcon with the King Crab.  Arguably, the King Crab is the new assault icon because of MWO.

As I recall, they were limited in their selection to whatever MWO had produced art for, along with a lot of iconic 3025 mechs being off the table for legal reasons. So they filled in with stuff that was rare or slightly out of timeline or what have you.

There healthy amount of 3025 unseen/classic/reimaged in MWO. technically more 3025 era stuff than CGL can field i think.

Phoenix Hawk
Shadow Hawk
Marauder
Warhammer
Locust
Archer
Thunderbolt

off the top my head.  I think we will have enough i guess since PGI won their fight.
