Mechwarrior 5: Clans News

Another trailer has dropped for #Mechwarrior5Clans, and this time it gives us an insight into a bit more of the storyline, as well as a few brief glimpses of gameplay.

We also got its release date, which is pretty awesome.

So, I'm pretty excited overall. And let's go over what we learned, and what I'm hyped for. A link to the trailer will be in the top pinned comment.

"the engine has been upgraded"
yeah duh, we know the Clans have their busted XL engines on all their fancy stuff

[bruenor]

We get to re-fight Battle of Luthien, I’m going to be torn. On the one hand, going after Takashi will be a BLAST…on the other, that means taking out Shin, and I like that guy

“You play as the Clans.”

Ok, not bad.

“The trailer has the Jaguars shit on the Kuritans.”

SAY NO MORE, SOLD.

-Me, a Davion fan.

According to Russ Bullock (as stated in the most recent episode of “The Valhalla Club” podcast), there are choices within the game that make it so you will have to play it twice to see the entirety of the scope of the gameplay.

Bit of a pipedream but it would be interesting if you owned both MW 5 Mercenaries and MW 5 Clans you got access to a secondary campaign after beating the primary one. This secondary one picking up where you left off in Mercs. Highly unlikely but it would be nice to be able to play as either side in the same game. Especially with how new I am to the setting, MW 5 Clans with be my first time with the clans. And I do want to see both sides of the invasion for variety.

Can't wait to serve Khan Leo 'Golden' Showers and Clan Smoked Jaguar!

Really looking forward to this. The first CD game I got for my Pentium 100 PC running dos as my operating system, I didn't even have windows! Was Mechwarrior 2, just loved the cinematics and running the Mad Cat in game. I cannot wait to get my hands on this. I just wish we could get some 1/18 scale action figures of the mecha like the ones Joy Toy make. I like the miniatures and all but I don't have time or patience to paint them. So I would love to have my favourite mechs as action figures between 5-10 inches high. But I am really excited for this games tbh.

I want to play the destruction of Turtle Bay from the Clan perspective!

[Jaggedfel-]

Best case this game ends in our death on Tukayyid or Luthien. Lol

[markfreeman]

personally i liked the free style of the contract based merc system. Perosnally for me the campaigns were a headache and i usually only completed them via cheese (doing a freestyle runs, getting what i wanted, then loading that into the campaign start), still i'm excited to play the clans!!

[josephbroseph]

After playing through the grindy pre generated universe and seeing what PGI was capable of with the dlc or some mission lines i am more than excited to play a more bespoke and structured campaign.

[AntonioMartinez-hibh]

Hopefully, they have some obscure mechs like the pouncer and mongrel.

[FosforitoDuracell]

I just hope there's lore dumps for newbies like me to catch up on for the Clans that I can go back to search for in other media to compare how the clans perceive things vs the Houses and the Sphere.

Playing as Smoke Jaguar is a bit of a downside to me as they're my most disliked Clan, and near the bottom of my overall factions list. BUT.... I'm not MUCH more of a fan of Jade Falcon, and I enjoyed the Jade Falcon campaign in MW2, so that's not going to kill it for me. the fact that they're going up against my second-least-favorite Great House is a huge plus. :P

[freeranger]

The Smoke Jaguars are even better Saturday morning cartoon villains than the Jade Falcons are and I love them for it. I'd be pleased as punch if we get to do any two of the following six things. Witness the atrocity on Turtle Bay, participate in the disaster on Wolcott, invade Luthien, lose on Tukayyid, get rolled by Operation Bulldog, and hopefully die with great honor on Huntress.

I want this game to have a tragic ending where everyone dies due to the ignorant bullheadedness of the Jaguar leadership so danged bad that I can taste it.

[kryptonianguest]

Looking forward to piloting a Timber Wolf that has its missile pods. They're too big a target to use them in Mechwarrior Online.

The MW5 Clans releases one day after my birthday. Time for some vacation days.

[blitzwing]

Idk I need to see way more bright green face tattoos before I'm sold.

I do hope they have a post campaign single player. Doesn't need to be a huge open world but a "choose your own adventure" style mode that lets you plot your own path to terra would be fun. Full with loads of "what ifs" etc.

[ruffnarbobnar]

I'm pumped for this jaguar is my favorite clan. What I'm not sold on is not having a sandbox mode

[saladinbob]

Is there a list of confirmed Mechs somewhere? I don't think Space Marine 2 will impact this, many of us 40K fans are also gamers who like Mechwarrior and I'm sure most of us will be playing both.
