I doubt standing knee deep in a river for a laser based mech will be as overpowered as it was in the board game

Looks like its more about strafing behind buildings.

Yeah, in every iteration/incarnation of real time Battletech I've played, pop-up attacks are the name of the game. I've no problem with this concept.

I understand they try to counter the use of cover with weapons taking time to refocus aim at different ranges. Though I expect people will figure out how to game the system. (Pulse lasers, possibly - beams are supposed to be kind of a DoT system.)

Hmmm. A friend of mine does a webcomic that had an entry related to this recently (Battletech, not this latest vid game incarnation of it).

Just though it might amuse.

Since the new Crucible launcher killed Eve for me, and I un-subbed all three of my accounts, I now REALLY can't wait for this game.

In short, think EVE fittings, but you get to paint your ship however you like.

If anything, EVE jacked it off the original Mechwarrior Videogames.

So happy to see that old mech outline and fitting boxes.

Oh of course, i was just trying to relate it to the thread-followers who might not be following every little thing.  They seem to be taking a lot of care to try and be faithful to the tabletop version, which is quite neat.

Here's to hoping they pull this off.  And here's to hoping for an awesome group of mechwarriors to play with  ; )

You un-subbed over the launcher? Could I ask how the launcher was so horrible, I feel like I missed something vital

The new launcher murdered some customer's pc's....

boot. ini again so to speak.

That might explain why dual-boxing has gotten so much more buggy/laggy than I recall... but I do kill the launchers after their jobs are done. Oh well, can we expect a fix to this anytime this year, maybe?

[Safai]

Click the config button in the launcher, you can tell it to close upon game launch and to never open launcher unless necessary. You'll see it a lot less often this way.

I am also more and more looking forward to MechWarrior Online.

The launcher means that it is now impossible for me to update the game. Apparently my ISP sees something nefarious with the way something is packaged by CCP in the patch downloads. A couple weeks after the launcher CCP started making the patches available for download off of the forums, so I am re-subbed, but it sounds like they intend to discontinue this in the future, so we will see.

Just a little bump, the site is updating regularly
