it'd be cool to see them add the bushwacker (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Bushwacker (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Bushwacker)) and the nova (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Nova (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Nova)) at some point, but mostly I'm hoping they keep mixing in stuff we haven't seen in game before. in mw4 pretty much every public match was 15 daishis with an occasional atlas or madcat mk2 peppered in. looks like they implemented a scouting system similar to world of tanks to make lighter mechs necessary and profitable.

yeah that would have been mw4, I played extensively also. there's a free version out now with all the expansions + community overhaul, still being played. also there have been a few community based projects like living legends based on the crysis 3 engine, game has a strong community. otherwise though the franchise has been dead, not counting mechassault.

yeah, that and warhawk with 8 machine guns were classic in mw2. Idk if the nova has been in any games since then.

I'm not sure how matches are going to be organized (hopefully you can host a public match and it's not all random like WoT), but apparently you'll only get one life per round, so ammo limits vs. energy weapon heat will be an interesting trade-off.

I can't understand why this franchise wasn't more vibrant - this is one of the best out there and I can't wait.

I remember playing all the MW games, but I started with the board game.  Countless hours designing the perfectly balanced mech while growing pubes.

make sure it says your profile is 100% complete if you want to increase your chances. there will be a little survey and whatnot.

not sure if rifleman will be in this game, they're sticking to a certain timeline in determining which mechs are incorporated and it seems to be before the clans have even invaded.

edit: actually looks like it could make it in, the game starts in year 3049 and the rifleman http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Rifleman (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Rifleman) was first fielded in 2505

that sounds like all you need. all you can do now is wait for an email. in a few days they're going to show the game @ e3, and in any case, later this month you can pay to become a founder and they'll give you a beta key.



they're moving the game universe time along at one day per real life day, which means that the clans will begin invading in august. going to be really interesting to see how they incorporate that.

variety is part of the fun of a mw game. arms tend to get shot off, too; if they aren't huge shields protecting you from teh sides, they're just extra weapon slots, sometimes unnecessary.
