Mechwarrior online

So I saw a few days ago the new video - it seems some games will start with you being dropped out of a dropship... [edit] It seems the cockpit in the teaser trailer is what you get in-game - linky [/edit]

Today I find out that the game will have two reticles - one for the torso (fixed where the torso is pointing) and one for the arms (which you can move about - provided your mech has arms).

I hope it's as good as I expect it to be

I've heard talk that they've tested it on multi-monitors and they've been in contact with peripheral manufactures about using multiple input devices (and I hope that includes trackIR).

Anyway I'm rather excited about this and thought some people here might want to know that they are releasing more details at the moment and they are exhibiting it at GDC - which starts in roughly 14 hours.

Thanks madpeeps, I'm sure I'm not the only Allegite waiting for that one to come out

I played MPBT on AOL/Gamestorm and eventually MPBT 3025 religiously. All the "old timers" from those communities are coming back and forming up into the same Houses/Units again. It's a MAJOR community revival.

::screams like a little girl::

This is the first gameplay video I've seen for MWO.

I want them to take my money!

It looks bad though

The MW series was amazingly alive (it might've just been my force feedback that made it that way though). These guys are getting hit with missiles (and firing them) but they're not even shaking.

Boo.

What's the point of playing if you don't FEEL like you're piloting a giant $#@!ing mech..

aww yeah.

If it works with force feedback then I'm all for it however

I'm more of a fan of faster paced mech-combat. I.E. Armored Core.

I still look forward to this http://www.hawkengame.com/blog/

Fast paced, yet realistic enough.

Quite a bit of shudder in the cockpit view vhen taking missile hits.
