Looks like this is releasing in October. I know many aren't fans of "Mercenaries", but I've enjoyed it quite a bit. This new one seems to have an updated HUD and graphics, which is awesome. Though it (seems) to lack the replayability of the first, since this is completely storyline-driven, while the other has a small'ish storyline while being mostly a sandbox you can play in forever. Quite likely will buy this unless it gets shredded in reviews.

Eh clan stuff so much less interesting. Especially since they got their shit pushed in eventually.

Exactly what I'd expect free birth scum to say
Pretty sure he's trolling since the entire player bases of MW5 and HBS BT have relentlessly begged for clan content, although BT players at least have a more robust modding scene.

I'm excited about MechWarrior 5: Clans too! The updated HUD and graphics look like a big step up, and while it's more storyline-driven than Mercenaries, I'm hoping the story will be engaging enough to make up for the lack of sandbox replayability.

Playing. Donno what I'm doing. Used to make custom mechs back in the old Kari days. Now I just roll in whatever and pull the trigger. Lazy. Yolo.

I am glad they really stuck to how the Clan act in the story so far. I saw people shitting on this as woke trash because of the female leaders/warriors, but that has been a canon part of the Clans since their inception.

same as the people crying about women in the Imperial Guard in Space Marine 2. The most feared and infamous mechwarrior throughout the Inner Sphere from the pre-invasion era up to the Refusal War was a woman.

I tried this. splattercat had mentioned loving mechwarrior 5.

I am confused on this being an expac, or new game? how that all works.

same with, campaign versus?? this supposed to e played solo, or is there a mp campaign or mp pvp? whats the design? is the campaign not he REAL game, and is that why im so Meh on it?

doing the campaign. cutscene after cutscene after cutscene. ugh..
no player customization is lame. the protags are gay as hell.

clans are lame.

Wokeness. Female leaders/pilots I didnt' question. The multi cultural race and actual cultural naming structure really confused me for genetically engineered clans. why does a clan that supposed to be all inbred/engineered have white, black, brown people, with names like mia, and nasir?
also, why are some of the female leaders/warriors tiny? how did your direct superior get her position as a tiny woman? nevermind the genetic engineering question again.
I'm no mechwarrior/battletech loremaster, but that did confuse me.


I bailed out on Battletech hbs like halfway through. I forget why exactly. what exactly was annoying me.

I don't like trying to control the entire squad in this. I could see how MP is more enjoyable. or, the full on tactical play of battletech.

Battletech you gotta just play sandbox mode (career) with mods, either BTA 3062 or RogueTech depending how much you want to customize/hate yourself.

Because they haven't earned a Bloodname? It's not like they completely abandoned all their culture when Ulric Kerensky led the Exodus from Earth.
also, why are some of the female leaders/warriors tiny? how did your direct superior get her position as a tiny woman?

Why would physical stature determine anything when all of the advancement trials are conducted while piloting a mech?

The gene pool for the Clans are all mixed from the past founders of the Clans and those that win the honor for their accomplishments. They aren't totally genetically modified in the sense that they hand pick each gene. So any race of the people in the pool can take dominance in each Clan member. All clan members have just a first name. There are 40 blood names (last names) for each clan and only 25 warriors can have each of them.

As for stature there are three types of Clan Warriors. Elementals which are like 7-9 ft tall brick shithouses. Mechwarriors that look relatively normal, and the Pilots who are smaller and usually have bigger heads.

Was she from House Menses? Kek.

Anyway, my xbx renders the pc's beard on and off. Needs some patches.
