Hmm, same JumpShip model as HBS game - shared with HBS by PGI or shared with PGI by HBS?

ComStar compound, let's just shoot it up, I'm sure that will go well...

BATTLEMASTER · « **Reply #211 on:** 21 November 2019, 22:05:15 »

I'd love it if someone had a GIF of that jumpship materializing!

Interesting - PGI running an MWO event that purports to list the 'Mechs and variants in MW5 - https://mwomercs.com/news/2019/11/2357-mw5-mech-sale-challenges

No Roughneck or Corsair, but also no Dervish, Vulcan, Charger or Marauder II...

That actually annoys me a ton. Like, the Dervish was something I actually wanted to use, along with a Corsair.

The most recent 'Mech released is Flea, so did PGI lock 'Mechs to be added in game as far back at early 2018? Rest for any future Clan Invasion era DLC expansion perhaps?

Also interesting, apparently MW5 will have Hero 'Mech variants among their roster, they are included in the list for the event and also the Shadow Hawk Hero is the first 'Mech piloted in the walkthrough video.

kato · « **Reply #215 on:** 23 November 2019, 06:16:04 »

The list is a bit... uh, mixed?

RVN-2X/-4X in there, okay, later game maybe.
MAD-5D... yeah, well, let's say post-Helm prototype, not the production model. Sliiight bit of a stretch.

Bounty Hunter II though?

Game runs until the Clan Invasion, I suspect/hope we aren't getting things like the Mauler too early...

The game looks fantastic.

Which is why I'm probably not going to get it- I don't trust my laptop to be able to handle a game like that given that it's had issues with PS3/XBox 360 games.

BETA IS NOW LIVE!

MarauderD · « **Reply #220 on:** 27 November 2019, 10:12:57 »

Beta is impressively beautiful and runs like butter on my machine. Now I wish MWO had been on the unreal engine; what a difference!

Cons: AI reminds me of MW3. It is that bad!

Enemy or lancemate AI ? If the latter, did you try switching the setting to another level?

Cyc · « **Reply #222 on:** 27 November 2019, 14:44:01 »

Intro cinematic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GlM-WLsXLw

Of course Beta owners could have watched it already if they dug around in the game folders, video guides for all the game features there...

Both and even though you can bump up the supposed quality of your AI lance mates, the harder missions are just "throw more waves of enemies" difficulty increase not smarter enemies.

DarkSpade · « **Reply #223 on:** 27 November 2019, 18:39:01 »

Wow, please tell me the opening cinematic is in beta too. I mean, when I first start a campaign? Sure. When I first load the game? No. That was crap.

Look at mechwarrior 4 and Mechcommander. Those were intros! Hell, even MW4:Mercs' in game footage intro was better than this. EDIT: HBS did better and they used all 2D images!

I could live with that video, it was the voiceover that made me cringe.

I think I may have to admit that I've been so eager for a new MW game for so long that my expectations may have become unrealistic because this does not look promising so far :(

Apparently the Corsair actually is in the game, according to some link someone posted from Discord;

Been watching a bit on Twitch, and so far I like a lot of what I am seeing.

Couple of things though.

Some of the maps might be a bit on the small side. IMO. Warzone for example.

Dropships are dropping way too close to the fight. There would be a lot of crashed Leopards due to lawn dart checks. In this game they seem to be invincible. Warzone and Defense missions are good missions to see this.

Pulse Lasers sound like a machine gun. Huh? Hopefully just a placeholder for the Beta.

MW5 how it basically works
This was more interesting. Showing how the repair system works and how game works.

I certainly look forward to the steam version. I've been watching the Twitch beta runs. Sucker not ready yet. Guy playing was blinded by Jagermech's acs and utterly killed his Nightstar.

so busy wit work i not played but 3 missions, my only grip is configuration of the keys right now , game runs smooth on my older fx set up ( with a 580 gpu ) and all setting high i was shocked.

Did they ever say why the King Crab is the flagship mech for the game?

I mean, it's pretty cool. And dangerous. And I'd assume they didn't want the Atlas as the mascot again.

Now, as for why they didn't go for a Trebuchet as the mascot? I'm not sure, but I'm mad about that.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #239 on:** 05 December 2019, 17:12:03 »

It's a cool mech, but it's really not at all iconic of the time period the game is set in.
