MechWarrior 5 2009 Debut Gameplay Trailer

[phelan1777]

wow, you're officially XS super nerd of the week

... granted, i also had a little tin timberwolf for the tabletop game and the jade phoenix trilogy in my bookshelf

actually in mw4 i found it quite hard to do. much more difficult than in mw2.... freebirthtoad


anyway, guess where i got my nick. here's a hint: i'm not from indiawtf are you guys talking about!? how was mw2 better than mw4? i've played both extensively and mw4 is superior in every aspect! ... except for music maybe...i wouldn't expect the cocpit design to fit your expectations. iirc in one of the gray death books they described the cocpit as showing a projected 360° image of the surrounding of the mech. on coverart pictures however, cocpits looked more like in wing commander. so if the books are already contradictory, a single game will never be able to satisfy all battletech fans.

Hell MW3 was better then 4 even though it had its bugs..

Mechwarrior 4 isn't the Mechwarrior that is a transition from the table top game. Mechwarrior 4 was/is the unwanted step child that seems to be someting it is not.

I to spent many hours designing and field testing mech designs. Cross referencing the novels and TROs.



Mechwarrior 2 was far better in the least of having to do training which wasn't easy. No other Mechwarrior had any resembling training on any level to become familiar with the controls and how to handle the machine. Designing mechs using the crit allocations for one. You didn't float in mw2 like you do in 4. The audience that MW4 was aimed @ versus the MW2 fan base.

Not all mechs have the same time of pit layouts Also if a mech was a command mech it would have a more advanced suit for the pilot. This is scene through out the novels and descriptions of different mechs and their roles.

Lastly it is not a matter of expectation. It is what is described in the books as to what the pilots see, there impressions of the lay out of the pit and features in electronics and operation of the machine.

Why have a mech, but not give the pilot function for low light/infrared and other low visiability situations
