Man, I had fun playing the crap out of MW2 on Sega Saturn. And the Crescent Hawk's Inception... wow. I recently tossed a whole bunch of old 3.5" disks, one of which had that on it. Can't even find a 3.5" floppy drive anymore, let alone a modern computer that will play a game designed for a 286.

Nice to hear there will be some decent stuff available this winter.

Just read the most recent post. Making it sound really nice. Deeper combat level like eve. (Possible rip off even one might say, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.) However with actual bon a fide skill involved instead of dice rolls!

http://mwomercs.com/news/2012/01/75-dev-blog-2-information-warfare Also the thought of communication jamming sounds cool in theory, but whats to stop people from using their own vent server and not jamming comms? Perhaps rely of spotting info between mechs.

All those words add up to nothing more than an over-complicated explanation of a shared intel minimap.

I just can't get my head around this genre. It's such a simple and basic game. A shooter with a torso pivot added. Yet everyone who talks about it and every article about it reads like they think they're playing chess on a roller coaster.

Sounds like WoT but with mech's, and the dev's said its going to be more a tactical sim like Mechwarrior 2-4 and not a dumbed down action game. I definitely need to keep an eye on this one.


And the devs at Bioware told us that they weren't going to make pez dispenser quests for the old republic, don't get your hopes up, game developers love selling crap like this to get the hype up and people are more than willing to believe them.

true enough many MMO's hype of things as revolution rather more of iteration on the existing. However this game is Ftp last i checked so the most you waste is time, and bandwidth.

As for the mini map thing that will be only part of it. Think as eve's interface however instead of a spread sheet you have it on a hud.... And if eves spreadsheet didnt tell you the kind of type, and class how different the game might be as you'd need a module to identify class, and type. Or you'd need say a field CS to ID said ships and then relay that info to the rest of the fleet. And instead of current dice roll ECM you'd have ECM that jams that information.

Sounds more fun to me. Granted this is all speculation.
