I hope you are getting your heads and act together for this game because if not, then I hope that someone takes the IP from you. It is a wonder that Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries have managed to survive this long, it is mainly because of the mods and the cult following of the IP and nothing to do with any of the skills from the developers because mechwarrior 5 mercenaries is still a mess even with all the updates.

If you repeat the failure of the last game (Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries) releasing the game with crappy AI that is so bad that it is on par with Aliens Colonial Marines then this game will be the last game I will ever buy from you.

most probably it will be what mercs was.. bad in terms of AI.. just a normal story... subpar voice acting and lots of useless missions..

my guess is they will again rely on modders to add variety to the game... then over the year release different dlcs for clans and be about their business...

I just hope they focus a bit on quality. It grinds my gears that mw5 was and is full of bugs and model defects still unfixed. Even the DLC came with model defects still unfixed.

From a News i got this info, that PGI has the License until 2025.
So they probably will scramble as much as possible if re-negotiation fails at that date

i think it will be successful.. no matter how bad pgi makes it, we love battletech and we will buy mw5 clans.. and make it a success (sales wise).. and then modders will keep it alive.. pgi will find it as a success along with the dlcs.. and get the ip extended

It will, pgi did both a good and a lackluster job in mw5, and it sold very well. We can only assume they have learned with their mistakes for mw5 clans.

that assumption is what will make people buy clans (inlcuding myself).. so i really hope they improve the AI team mates a lot this time

Yeah the AI is bad, I will still buy it either way since I like mech game but they really need to work with that AI and the pilot management.

same for me. i will buy it, there is no doubt about it,,. but i am hoping they dont repeat the same mistakes

[Xygnal]

It will be the same as MW5. The reason they still own the IP is becuse there are a lot of people who are all too happy to buy "stompy robots" and could give a damn about giving the Battletech universe any justice.

I really miss Microprose and FASA, they were the ones that got me hooked up in this game in the first place

The sad part is that Aliens AI actually quite decent! Years later, somebody sifted through the code and found the typo in aliens ai code, after fixing which, aliens gained sentience again. It was an easy fix, which Randy Bitchford couldn't be bothered with-even looking at the line responsible for AI code.

Meanwhile, with MW5 AI, things are completely different-you can't fix that, which doesn't even exists!

Doesn't matter if they learned or not - as long as Russ "I hate all things Clan" Bullock is in charge at PGI, Clan mechs will be nerfed into the mud compared to what they should be.

Why bother being involved with MW when half the bloody franchise INVOLVES Clans in the first place? Seems a bit bass-ackwards to me, tbh.
