MechWarrior Synopsis:

QUOTE

Welcome MechWarrior!

Piranha Games is proud to bring you the next instalment in the MechWarrior® franchise. It has been a long time coming and this synopsis will help to answer some of your questions. If you've read through Dev Blog 0, you'll know that we are a premium Free-To-Play game based on the bestselling BattleTech® Universe. When coming up with the core game features for MechWarrior® Online™, we create and focused on four pillars of design and player experience. These pillars include:

Mech Warfare – The embodiment of Mech to Mech combat.
Role Warfare – The ability for player's to customize their experience to suit their own style of gameplay.
Community Warfare – The ability to let the players take part in epic combat for territorial control.
Information Warfare – Bring a new element to the battlefield that incorporates information technology to help control the fight.

Sypnosis for all "pillars":

Mech Warfare:

We want to make sure we bring the roots of the MechWarrior® titles back to the surface and also incorporate the basic rules from the BattleTech® Universe. Players will be able to customize their BattleMechs with weapon and armor upgrades as well as customize their cosmetic appearance in the MechLab. This means players can look unique or fall in line with their Merc Corp colors and truly represent themselves in combat. The next part of Mech Warfare is controls/piloting a BattleMech. Since our key platform is the PC, it only makes sense to really bring the simulation control system back for seasoned players, with the option to have easy access configurations for newer players. When dealing with controls, we really want to bring skill back into combat rather than heavily assisted combat as seen in most modern day first person shooters. The interface between the MechWarrior® and the BattleMech is being revisited as well. A new 3D HUD system is being designed for the neurohelmet pilot information display. The view point of the game is from the pilot (MechWarrior®'s) point of view. Players will be able to look around their cockpit and even customize the interior to suit their tastes.

Role Warfare:

When it comes down to play style for any given player, we want to make sure that we have as many options as possible to cater to as many player types as possible. This is where things get really interesting. Everything from choosing a BattleMech to how a MechWarrior® is trained, will allow a player to truly customize their own personal game experience. What is a player's preferred role when playing MechWarrior®? Scout? Attacker? Defender? Commander? Whatever it is, a player will be able to train their MechWarrior to specialize in their style of gameplay. Players are highly encouraged to participate in team based gameplay. The fast manoeuvrable scouts will be able to relay information back to the commander units who in turn relay that information to the attacker and defender units. As players advance their MechWarrior in a role, more skills and abilities related to their role will become available. Remember, a team who plays together will always win together.

Community Warfare:

MechWarrior® in all of its incarnations has always had a loyal following of players in one of the strongest on-line communities in gaming history. Piranha-Games hopes to bring this community together in a friendly conflict of universal control. This may sound a little odd, but it is the fun competitiveness that will keep the game alive and kicking for years to come. Utilizing the BattleTech® Inner Sphere, we plan to have skirmishes amongst the Great Houses in BattleTech® lore. Allowing the player to have an active part in this conflict is one of our key directives in designing this game. Players will be able to create, manage and customize their Merc Corp's player base and appearance, while banding together to really delve into the Inner Sphere conflict where House alignment reigns supreme. Merc Corp leaders will bid and fight for occupation rights to some of the most valuable planets across the Inner Sphere and challenge other Merc Corps for control of planets reaping large rewards.

Information Warfare:

Evolving the MechWarrior® experience required a new layer of gameplay. Instead of large open expanses and circle strafing parties, we wanted to examine the core play experience of the previous MechWarrior® titles and see if we could bring a more tactical/strategic experience to MechWarrior® Online™. Relying more on line-of-sight and incorporating information technologies, we feel that information warfare will bring a new level of realism to the fight and help enforce the idea of team based multiplayer even more. Another aspect of Mech Warfare, something that we can do with new technology, is urban combat. The battlefield is no longer open areas with mile long sightlines. . Tactical maneuvers will be required now more than ever and the key to success is using InfoTech alongside great team play. The newly implemented Battle Grid will give commanding units a bird's eye view of the battlefield and scouts will be able to feed real time recon information to them. The battlefield commander will be able to call in air strikes, artillery strikes and other support unit requests.

BF3 - Cant play with friend online bhd one router

ongweiping — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:00:55 +0800

Facing the issues before in steam COD: black ops, need to try multiple times or straightaway cannot be done. This is very frustrating as we have high hopes for BF3 Co-Op and multiplayer.

Check online and found suggestion on enable UPNP with DMZ on one PC -- tried and failed or;

port forwarding -- was confused on which port to forward, there are indication on which port to open for BF3:

"If you are playing on PC, please enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-29999, 22990, 17502, 42127
UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300 "

Which port to forward?

Anyone encountered my problem? Mind to share the "how to fix" part? Me and my friend are able to play the game online in separate server. We cannot join in one server or even play co-op. Appreciate your help on this!

Thanks.

Sound Card recommendation!

ongweiping — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 21:08:05 +0800

Hi all guru,
Im interest to get Razer Tiamat 7.1 for better Battlefield 3 experience, would like to try on surround sound in gaming starting with Battlefield. (OMG, its 5 days left! ^^) The integrated sound device won't support 7.1 channel is it? Do some research online and found quite some sound card product like Asus Xonar/Creative SoundBlaster lineup... Some say Creative need a lot of config, blablabla, i found many recommend Asus for the sound card selection...

From random checking on lowyat pricelist, I can see there are lots of price range for Creative SoundBlaster but very litter for Asus... Hmmm Do RM500++ sound card really makes a lot of difference compared to RM1xx?

Sample price list from viewnet:

CREATIVE SB 5.1VX / AUDIGY VALUE 5.1 64/139
CREATIVE X-FI XTRME AUDIO PCI 199
CREATIVE X-FI TITANIUM (PCIE) 339
CREATIVE X-FI TITANIUM FATALITY (PCIE) 489
CREATIVE X-FI TITANIUM FATALITY CHAMPION (PCIE) 689
CREATIVE SB PLAY / XI-FI GO EXT USB2.0 79/199
CREATIVE SB X-FI SURROUND 5.1 239
ASUS XONAR 7.1 DG / DS 139/199
ASUS XONAR D2X 529
ASUS XONAR ESSENCE STX / HDAV 1.3 539/639

Am ready to sacrifice money to enjoy full experience, thinking that Razer Tiamat would not be cheap also... sigh~~ T.T I just need to know that do those "high end" sound card really that worth? Asus Xonar 7.1 DG/DS seems nice to me as the "7.1" should mean i can use Tiamat with that and the price is... well, DAMN cheap compared to others!

Additional info: Am currently using Edifier M3300SF speaker.

Any recommendation?

BTW anyone knows when Razer Tiamat launch? ^^

Hope to hear from you guys soon, Thanks!

Advice on new gaming rig

ongweiping — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:18:35 +0800

Erm... actually this is my first post on lowyat.net and I just register today to ask for recommendation. haha I just view the forum for any clue on my new gaming rig, finally i think i need some advice on the purchase... and thus registered and begin my first post on lowyat.net. hehe

Budget: RM2500 - 3000

Parts reused: Samsung 931BW 19" Widescreen

Purpose:
Mainly for gaming... I mean hardcore gaming (Latest PC game). haha Use for surf net also.
I would like to play games with full details on.

Purchase date: In around one month / or maybe less...

Preference:
Actually i have some idea on the hardware purchase, still no idea on mobo, casing, and psu. Need advice as this is my second time on choosing my own spec for my new rig

My initial plan is:

Intel Quad processor (already have as my sis get for me free from Intel, just not sure which one, mostly q9300)
4 GB DDR2 667/800 RAM preferably (RM200?)
Western Digital 640GB (16MB) HDD (RM220-230)
MSI N285GTX-T2D1G-OC (RM1480 from SRI computer cheapest GTX280 possible?) (I think a little overkill for my resolution 1440 * 900, but may purchase new LCD for gaming pleasure)
Mobo (need advice)
PSU (need advice)
Casing (need advice)

Optional:
Gaming Keyboard/mouse like Razer lycosa
Audio: Edifier M3300 (seems its recommended in forum)

But with optional i think it will sure exceed my budget...

Thank you for the recommendation!

[addedon]February 3, 2009, 7:26 pm[/addedon]Additional info:

Mobo i got think of Asus P5Q (i prefer Asus, hehe), but not yet dig into the features.

For PSU, still researching, will i need more than 550W based on the setup?

For Casing, erm... no idea, but my fren got recommend me cooler master, forgot wat name d, think around RM100.

I have friends to help and guide me install mobo or PSU to casing as i am not experience. Thanks.
