[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 7415171, member: 710"] I've played a lot of MW:O and was actually an Elite Founder, but I always ended up disappointed with the game. I am just not that much into pure PvP titles. Around the same time as MW:O, the publisher of MW:O also had a project called Mechwarrior: Tactics, which was a turn based strategy game (also focused on PvP). But that project crashed and burned, and I think rightfully so based on my beta experiences. For some reason, they build their own mech models, and they looked just terrible. That Battletech and MW:O use the same models is really, really awesome. And even if the game never quite was what I wanted, I guess I'll always thank MW:O for creating those models and allowing Harebrained Schemes to use them with them. The guys making M:WO area also creating Mechwarrior 5 now ,and I've heard that Battletech also provided some stuff for them in the form of the vehicles (which BT includes. You steer mechs, but enemy and allies forces can use vehicles. No infantry and air craft so far, though.) And anyone familiar with the problem of the "Unseen" - it could very well be that PGI might have the coffers to finally bring the Harmony Gold lawsuits against the use of mechs like the Marauder or Warhammer to an end. I don't know if it really works out, but it seems to be going far better and further than any of the previous lawsuits, that always ended up with settlements that never really cleared the legal situation up. FASA and/or Jordan Weisman just never had the financial resources to deal with it. So that would be a second thing I would need to be thankful for towards PGI. [/QUOTE]
