Very little info available at the moment, but if ever a fictional universe deserved an mmo, this is it

Thanks

Signed up with hope, I will be dissapointed. This is a fact

It'll probably end up being a pile of poop but i'll have my fingers crossed anyway. Not an MMO btw, more just a multiplayer

I had better start looking for a new joystick

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are just signing up to reserve a username and not signing up for a beta?

Just a pilot name by the look of it. Reading more in the harsh morning light, it's doesn't look great so far - no avatars outside of the mechs, ony 3(!) mechs confirmed so far, and they've very vague on whether it's a lobby based arena thingy or persistent online world.

Yeah not much detail as yet, hopefully they frlsh out the website a lot more in the coming months.

Would love some Mechwarrior gameplay

Crytek has recently announced that Piranha games has decided to use CryEngine 3 for the highly anticipated upcoming title, Mechwarrior online.

M'mmm sounds good lol.

This is MW5 in a different guise.

I presume this means that there will be no single player campaign but if that means online play is the prime focus then that's cool by me.

I have so many happy memories of playing MW4 on the Zone... Missile boat BAP/ECM Loki, LBX loaded skirmishing Thor and ER Large "Laserboat" Madcat were my favourite configs.

I haven't read up on this latest version, but would be amazing if they could incorporate ground fighting as well as using Mechs.

Level up using an actual character, have skills etc, think am asking for too much.
