Man, Clan politics are so goofy. It all seems so epic and cool at first until you realize that they based their entire culture on Kerensky Junior's psychotic D&D campaign. What a bunch of nerds.

[@SulliMike23]

The opening narration reminds me of MechWarrior 2’s opening with the Wolves and Jade Falcons.

[@Shadowdrag00n]

Yer, struck me as shout out to that old intro. Though in those old intros the Wolves and Falcons dick rode themselves with how great they were, the Smoke Jaguars might choke themselves with oh we're the best, we're the greatess, give it another 11 years, see how that pans out.

[@necart6374]

We are Jade Falcon, great among the Clans! We are warriors that fight with the strength of the falcon's claw, and ascend to the heavens on the wings of the same! We remember with the clarity of falcon sight the words of Kerensky; through the smoke of time he speaks to us, his chosen, and urges us onward with the promise of Eden. We will retake what is ours by right, that shining jewel, Terra! Not the vastness of space, nor the Wolf's obstinate howl, will stay us from our righteous goal. We are Crusaders and will trample all who stand in our way!

[@armswar]

We are Clan Wolf, children of Kerensky. We carry the honor of his name on our shoulders as our fathers did before. The Remembrance speaks to us of the evil in man's will, of the reasons for Exodus and the Rites of the Traveler. Arcadia is our destiny and our right. Enlightenment is our gift. By the Bloodnames of the founders we must return, return and protect that which is unique among the stars. Terra awaits us as it was written. We are the last of the Wardens, the sole hope for the earth.

[@shuboy05]

I still wonder why Activision never did one for the Ghost Bears.

[@Shadowdrag00n]

@@shuboy05 Although they're interesting, they dont have that pop factor that the clan poster boys have (Clan wolf) or the "we're batsh!t crazy so we have that cool wow factor" (Smoke jaguar or Jade Falcon).

[@Gillymonster18]

Looks interesting. I know people are saying there are classic vs arcade-like control schemes…but even acknowledging that, the arcade mode seems to make the mechs too jerky and fast. I get “muh clanner” mechs are better but they’d still have momentum and inertia to deal with.

[@juxtor9539]

Yes. This is my major complaint of the gameplay I've seen of this game. The mechs do not move as if they are massive, multi-ton machines. They move like they are a soldier in COD. It really breaks immersion in my view. If there is a way to change this, I would be much more enthusiastic about it.

[@BierzeItboxer]

@@juxtor9539 You think of this the wrong way. Those Mechs weigh up to 100 tons and are up to 15m high. So, they are actually very light. For comparison, look at a actual Main Battle Tank, like the Leopard 2. That Beast weighs 65 tons, more or less, and it is fast even for todays standarts. I would expect nothing less, from walking tanks, in that weight class and that exaggerated size.

[@RoninX33]

Hope we get a Ghost Bears Legacy remake

[@VectorGhost]

No. We need original titles ans explore other areas of the lore. F off with the god damn remakes.

[@Trojan_]

the leg movement seems a bit too sharp, where's the the inertia?

[@naciabell7903]

Clan mechs are much smoother and better in almost everyway to inner sphere ones. That's why the movement is sharper.

[@EricDKaufman]

Bro, its clanner tech That being said, FOR THE INNER SPHERE!!!!

Because he's playing with the modern control scheme and not classic.

@@naciabell7903 I mean, I've played plenty of clan mechs in MWO, and the leg movement & direction changes were smooth and took a bit to change said direction. Now it just looks like it's almost instantaneous...Something must be up.

[@Ordog213]

These Warriors don´t act like clanners, not even Jade Falcon. They Talk to much in battle and fill coms with chatter. They slur words and act like they are weak, get caught by low punches. Every trueborn clanner would jump in a test when they are attacked by a superior. These are tested Mechwarriors. THEY SPLIT FIRE ON DIFFERENT TARGETS RIGHT FROM THE START WITHOUT ANY FORM OF REACTION, GODDAMIT . The Cinematics feel like a Inner Sphere TV-Show that shows the clan life.....

[@Demicleas]

Well to be fair in this game you're playing as smoke jaguars and they arnt exactly the best example of claner culture and ideals. Lets be honest in fact they are definitely going to be commiting many a dishonorable war crimes in game.

[@PRC533]

I was surprised there wasn't a callout for using melee combat as well. Feels like that should earn a tongue lashing on par with use of a contraction.

[@livingrotten]

Not even Jade Falcon? W.t.f.? Falcons are TRUE clanners. Motherfucking Wolf fanboy…

[@Ordog213]

​@@livingrotten No, i played Smoke Jaguars back in the days of Mechforce in tabletop. And that is exactly why i don´t think this representation is good.

[@deenomahmoud2136]

[@lmackenzie89]

The cockpit lighting really bugs me. It's so flat and doesn't react to the environment? Seems like an omission?

[@EricDKaufman]

8pm tonight can't come fast enough Also they said the start up thing YES YES YES

[@langsknesovhan2419]

That clan mechs move like Mech assault.

[@PRC533]

That's because the control scheme being use is basically from Mech Assault. There is a "modern" and a "classic" option. Classic lets you unlock arms from torso and rotate torso independently from the legs.

[@ThatJerseyBloke]

Looks Incredible!

[@Traumatree]

There are contraction if their speeches. I thought all clan did not do that on purpose? Edit: Another thing that is really buging me is the cockpit sway movement that drops left and right. This is not how a 'Mech cockpit behave but like a human head wobbles - that is bad. I hope we can turn that off or set it like in MW5: Merc. In this video, the pilot is in a Summoner that doesn't wobble when in 3rd person, but go to extreme wobbling when in cockpit mode : that's no good.

[@R17inator]

Only Liam is using contractions and he inevitably gets chewed out more than once for it. Apparently it is on purpose, as he is supposed to be the rebellious sort in the group. I like to think he is PGI's attempt at self-deprecation, poking fun at how they messed up Clanner speak in MWO.

[@Traumatree]

@@R17inator Nice catch! Thx for the precision!

[@Athrun82]

Kinda interesting that the trial of position is only held by one. Usually sibko graduates fight in pairs against 3 opponents each. And should one of the cadets fire upon an opponent that is not in his original bid it basically becomes a free for all but with greater rewards. 4 kills would make you a Star Colonel and 5 kills a Galaxy Commander. From my knowledge the only one who ever achieved 5 kills in Clan society was Natasha Kerensky (and later in her retrial she got 4 kills). When the Ieadership debated on Outreach how to combat the Clans the heirs of several houses also mirrored this trial. Kai Allard-Liao managed to shoot down 5 Mechs, all piloted by some of the most elite pilots the IS had to offer. Jaimie Wolf (he was the pilot of the one Mech left standing in this trial) commended Kai for his prowess and stated "one more shot and I would have had to hand command of my Dragoons to Kai"

[@PRC533]

Turns out that running the table on Solaris VII with a Centurion makes you pretty damn good at dueling lol.

[@DividendFiend]

Did the devs even research the lore? Where's my microwave, bed, plug in outlet and fridge? How is my character supposed to get R&R after a long day of over the road mecking?

[@RobertGroves2525]

There's way too much movement to the cockpit while walking. I love cockpit views but this is gonna make me nauseous. 😵‍💫

[@viva_la_dog]

Why doesn't the pilot's head shake? after all, from the cockpit you can see that the swaying is diagonal, and not just vertical as before, but the sight is static as if the pilot's head is just hanging in the air

[@ExplosiveBolts]

Because otherwise you'd get motion sickness irl.

[@OcularPerceptions]

Yup, there's no way they could have improved upon today's stabilization systems by this period in history.

[@ExplosiveBolts]

He's playing on modern controls and not classic which is why it seems different.

[@armoredcore6Roks]

Bro u can change to classic. Why not appreciate the devs giving us options? If this was real life, u would have to suck it up and adjust or be demoted to the laborer caste.

So, how come the bushes and weeds on the ground are relative preportions to the mech similar to a human and bushes and weeds around them? You saying that all bushes and weeds are giant bushes and weeds and all the trees are gigantic? Its the one thing that I dont like about Mechwarrior 5, they have completely failed to capture to size of the mechs by making them basically the size of a human in these worlds.

If you're in Smoke Jaguar, not good. You are essentially a 3rd class citizen.

[@sardaukerlegion]

Are you unable to rotate torso?

[@PRC533]

it looks like the "modern" control scheme is being used here, which is why the arms are also locked to the torso crosshair. I suspect this is the reason for some of the jerky movement as well.

[@michaelbarnard8529]

When authors create these systems where you have to kill a current member to become a member, they ignore that it means the number of members only shrinks.

[@dierdred_the_gray]

but those that remain are the cream of the crop. Mind you, the only reason the inner sphere fended off the clan invasion was because of the clan fixation on 1on1 duels and betrayal from another clan. Quite literally, Had they fought with inner sphere mentality of winning the fight is the only thing that matters, the entire inner sphere would be speaking clanner.

[@mathiasbartl9393]

You don't have to kill somebody during a trial of position, it's actually considered distasteful. They also use freeborn warrior as opfor druing trials as for cadets.

[@naomy1701]

that only counts for the bloodnames, which are by design limited to 800 if i rem correct, and of each name there is a limited number of ppl that can bear it at the same time. should one die, another can pick the name up, or they can fight for it. unlike most other competitions the clans have, those fights are to the death most of times, seeing as the current name holder will most likely rather die than give it up lol But u dont need a Bloodname to be a Mechwarrior, not even remotely close to, so ur analogy doesnt realy hold up in this case

[@TitterpigRancher]

Piranha cannot make a good Mechwarrior game. The mechs move more like something out of MechAssault than a huge mechanical war robot weighing dozens of tons, there's no weight or inertia there at all. Pickups on the battlefield that you can collect by "scanning" makes no sense, and magic boxes popping out of the ground to repair and rearm mechs are laughable. It's like an arcade version of Mechwarrior, not the simulation we deserve.

[@keebbles]

Watching player mob targets against zelbrigen code. Watching player try to melee/punch. It's like they have zero idea of the clan ways. There were positions to assign starmates. Ignored. When damaged, didn't bother to send starmates to repair either. Didn't customize fire plan of loadout. Fires as if ammo isn't a concern. After initial use of scans. Failed to use them in last battle. Not disappointed in gameplay, although forced a bit in singular path. Disappointment is in player.

[@AsttoScott]

Too me, this game doesn't look like a Mechwarrior game at all. Just looks like another generic fps. I didn't get the impression it was a giant walking mech at all. The scale of the plants, rocks and etc are all wrong. Who ever made this game has no idea how to make a mech game. When I first played the original Mechwarrior and Battletech games when I was young I really did feel like I was playing a giant mech. I even played it on a simulator at Intensity. It was great and that was so long ago I cant even remember when. I'm guessing about 30 years ago. The funny thing is, the graphics were far superior to the graphics I'm seeing in this game and that was on a game I played about 30 years ago. This crap, looks incredibly generic.
