MechWarrior Online: The Hunchback

No, not that one. This Hunchback is a brawler from the upcoming MechWarrior Online and is a formidable opponent. According to the dev team, the Hunchback gives as good as it gets and is usually in the vanguard of any attack. Check out this video if you're not convinced!

    But whatever, enjoy.

    PieRad, are you serious?  I know you are because many people have no clue what Mechwarrior even is.  Let's see, Giant Robots that blow each other up with hardpoints on each component that you can blow away to cripple your opponent(blow off an arm with weapons attached, you no longer get to use those weapons) 

    Not to mention the RPG in the universe, the game has a huge following.  MW2-4 were played online via IP address back in the early 90's.

    To me this is no different than people begging LucasArts for a new Tie vs Xwing.  Like about bloody time.  With that in mind I bought the $120.00 founders pack because I want more games like this, to me that is no different than a kickstarter fund.

    Robot Jox.  Go find a copy and watch it.

    I used to love mech warrior back in the day. Always pop up over the hill tops fire off some lrm's then pop back into cover. Have to say when I watched this vid though that's not how you would actually play unless you were a complete moron. The vid does the game no justice its actually a blast (no pun intended) :-)

    Just seems kinda dull, maybe if it was faster paced, say like, tribes ascend.

    Well if it was faster paced it would be a game called Mech Assault (or if you like a TC, Living Legend) the whol,e point of this game is to have more of a sim-vibe. It is not everybodys cup of tea... Me for an example think that Tribes is twitchy to the degree of unplayable and have the tactical gameplay of a McFeast. So each to his/her own i guess.

     

    But stop by the forums and you will realise that the game is made by Battletech/Mechwarrior fans for Battletech/Mechwarrior fans so i guess that it will be no supprise that it plays like a Battletech/Mechwarriro game.

    This have been a good conversation

    If you want fast paced, just use a Light or Medium Battlemech with Jump Jets and go for high speed surgical strikes, capping, and flying ambushes in MWO.

     

    And unlike in Tribes: Ascend, you can actually spot for artillery by using your speed to get behind enemy lines and target key military units (which T:A's devs implemented and then removed two days before T:A's OBT; a feature present in other Tribes games).

    Not the best video to show off the game,but those who know the old school MW it does seem to capture that pretty well. The MW game back in the day when MC 1 & 2 were huge.  I think this game will carve out it's community and stand its ground. They've done well to make it feel like MW, and not some streamlined dumb done attempt at it.  I'll give this a go for sure when live.
