Gah, why do they insist on continuing to make every MechWarrior from the perspective of the Inner Sphere? Clans > Inner Sphere. And in every way: mech designs look better, their technology is better, their pilots are better, and their lore is far more interesting. But nooo, they've decided that the Inner Sphere is "more relatable" I guess, and the Clans are the evil warrior clones. Though here it looks like House Kurita are painted as the evil-doers, attacking the home of this Adrian Khol dude who just wanted to party and take advantage of being a nobleman, man! That plot has totally never been done before!
Grumble grumble. (haters gonna hate, though I *have* been waiting for another MW game for a long long time now, but a *good* one for even longer, ha)

They said in Oct we would see that patch, If it doesnt come out Im gettimg my money back. That was the whole reason I bought this game was for the Coop.

I'm not trying to be funny but if you only wanted the title for co-op then wouldn't it make sense to buy if AFTER it included that feature, not before. Afterall, history has shown us many developers that promise features but cannot or do not deliver. If it underperforms then there is an obvious incentive to abandon plans for support and move on to something that will earn them money instead of cost it, despite the bad will it generates.

Also, buying it immediately undermines your position, as if they look at the sales figures and they don't see an increase in sales after the release of co-op they may consider that it wasn't successful.

Weren't we supposed to get co-op in the first month or something?

They said "In about a month" not "In the first month" and it's only been about 3 weeks.

According to most gamers, the words 'maybe', 'would like to', 'will try to', mean that those bastard developers didn't deliver what they PROMISED...

Just saying... : )

I was seriously tempted to try this game and possibly spend money on it. Thankfully, that is now no longer a concern.

Lag-Free? How about DRM-free? Then I'd buy it.

but why would you buy it if it was DRM free? why wouldn't you just download it for free and save yourself the $60?

I have a hard time believing that they is NO latency.....seems like a marketing ploy.

There’s no latency because there’s only a hand full of people playing the game. Take it from a Network Admin, to outright claim there is not latency is absurd. There is always latency and always will be, I don’t care how you label it but Blizz is full of shit.

Maybe you should read the statement they made rather than calling them 'full of shit'. They said "Latency no longer matters at all for combat." They never said there is no latency, and more to the point, it wasn't even Blizzard that said it.

What they've suggested is not at all unrealistic. If the client handles the combat and movement calculations and doesn't require that the server respond before it can react to game activity, then the claim is perfectly accurate for your own personal experience.

The questions that remain are simply: What of friends playing with/against you? THAT seems impossible to create a zero latency solution for. And more to the point, what happens when the server doesn't like what the client sends? The theory of an instant disconnect sounds pretty ominous, but then I assume they thought of the possibility of corrupted packets and whatnot.

As well, a consideration is how long the server is willing to wait for it's information and what happens if it's not receiving it as quickly as it would like (issues with satellite connections, etc)

I watched a quicklook of their game on giantbomb and it was so bad it was literally laughable.

YES! THE PROCLAMATION COMES TRUE! YOUR LOYAL FOLLOWERS TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

The OFP community cried out to CM to make Dragon Rising, which was already a fucking awesome game concept, an even better game with some basic changes. CM said nothing further after the release of OFP:DR. They ignored the community feedback, they ignored pleas for response, they ignored the modding community who stepped up to work with CM to make this game not only work but do well. YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET CM! I torrented Red River, which sucked worse that Dragon Rising out of spite.

Ding dong, the witch is dead! The witch is dead! The witch is dead! Rot in pixel hell, OFP Game Development Management. Your employees deserved better.
