It was too short to say really

I was forgiving the graphics which were very pre-2010 because it's due out in 2018. There was no proper depth to the mech for example. I don't know the technical terms, but the graphics looked very flat. Like I said though - I was forgiving of that because it's got so long to go

Am I the only one unimpressed with that vid, and how it just looks like they're using the MWO client to shoe-horn in single-player content?

I think it's the other way around: MWO was built from what was originally meant to be MW5, in development back in 2009.

I'm not going to lie: despite my bit of snarkiness about the subtitle, I peed a little -- and that was just the pre-Alpha!  :smitten:
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

This! Indeed you have the right of it, dear sir.

It's all Unreal Engine to me. 

How long is that platform gonna be around, anyway?

Looks fairly decent.  Keeping my fingers crossed for this one!

A friend who is a MWO nut told me the other day;
MW5 game is being developed with the Unreal Engine
MWO is Cryengine.
However they are both the same developers, piranha games.

I agree the trailer was underwhelming. The older MW5 trailer on the other hand was amazing.

From what I have seen of piranha, I played MWO on and off with friends for some time and still have friends that keep me in the loop, they do not have the in-house
skill or resources to pull off a story based game well. I doubt their will be any actors or backstory to make this title great. I think it will be simple briefings and canned missions.
Hope they have the money to outsource the movie and story sequence... mechwarrior really needs a good movie and story co-ordinator.

I am a little excited about this as I have basically been lobbying on their forums for a while about wanting tanks and combined arms in MWO.
I am though still forever confounded by the basic premise of large slow mechs being an effective force.

Recently I actually stopped being able to play MWO, it gives me headaches after the last patch. Don't know why. But with this new engine I guess their is hope again.

Hoping for a coop campaign!!!

Remember this? I know it's not gameplay but damn it was exciting.

I recently spoke to a member here on steam and while we had a chat asked where all you guys were these days.
So past week I have been looking at all of you old hands post and decided to have a bit of a poke :)

This would be awesome.  I think being able to play coop with my fellow Grogs would be tons of fun.
