Mechwarrior Online

Thread is still relevant, because it's a good game, and the latest nerf to sniper weapons (PPC and Gauss) helps to make closer combat action more viable. Also, in 2 days, the new 75 ton heavy mech "Orion" will be available for regular currency.

The game hasn't released yet, so entirely relevant.

It has launched now.

BTW: another reason to like this game is that the whine on the official forums make you feel instantly at home as a cRPG veteran.

Yeah, it launched on the 17th, the day after I posted. I played in the beta, it is actually a pretty fun game. I just got overwhelmed by other games from Steam sales

Discussions about a leaked screenshot with a strange shadow: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/144539-whats-that-mech/ It's kind of amazing how much love some people have for the Battletech franchise. Some dudes buy every hero mech (can only be bought with real money), which costs more than several other full retail games combined.

It's sad that gameplay development progresses so slowly, though. Basically only team deathmatch and domination currently in, gets a bit old after a while. There's a new map coming next week and the third mech from the Phoenix Package (Thunderbolt) will be available for non-money backed credits finally.

It will be interesting to see how they implement the clan invasion. For those non-versed in Battletech lore, the clans have OP equipment compared to their enemies, so it will be hard to tackle in a balanced and still lore-friendly way.

What i cant wait for is when they include the actual inner/outer sphere maps. Where you can then occupy territories through these fights on the maps ... MechStrategus ^^

Yeah, that's basically what i was looking for in this game. Kind of lacking in content, atm, even if the core gameplay is rock solid and awesome.

They announced the clans: http://mwomercs.com/clans

The clans will invade in...

June 17, 2014. If you still care, then.

I think he's simply upset that they announce it now, but it's only arriving in 6 months.

New patch is out:

- New map (moonbase, no atmo, high contrast, low sounds)
- Thunderbolts for CBills
- Wolverine and Griffin for those who bought Saber package (new targets for the others)
- Skirmish mode (pure team deathmatch, basically assault without bases)

[zagibu]

New light mech "Firestarter" coming in patch tomorrow, along with lots of new stuff (new UI, defensive structures in assault mode, etc.).
