I hope they use the salvo concept found in MW: Mercenaries. Being able to salvage parts from enemy mechs you killed was one of my favorite parts out of all of the MW series.

Actually the salvo system has been around since MW 2,  so I imagine it would

I dont remember it having salvage options (MW2), but when Mercenaries came out afterwards, it did. I dont remember MW4 having it. Hell, I need to find my MW4 CD and go back and play that again. =)

From the IGN Interview:

The mechs are so valuable and so important: they're more important than the guy you've got in the cockpit. You can find another guy, but the mechs are so valuable. Salvage will take on more of a real meaning in the game, right down to a rudimentary level of "keep getting enough parts to keep fighting" rather than "I have another six chassis in my inventory to just throw on the market." So we really want to get that feeling again. Along with that comes the personality: those enemy mechs, you'll recognize that one Atlas with the horns or something because you'll know who that is--it's that main enemy commander. It won't be like fodder; you'll see him throughout the game. Stuff like that really gives the personality and the importance back to the mechs.

And on MW4, there was a thread about it becoming a free download with all the expansions in case you don't find your CD!  I've only played 2 and Mercs so I'm definitely getting 4 when it is a free dl!

I did read that about the salvage and it  better not make it ridiculous.  I can see the reasoning as to why they dont want you to have an abundance of salvage all the time or mechs laying around but it better not be a grindfest. If I pull of a miracle shot and take out the pilot without damaging the the rest of the mech, that entire mech belongs to me!!!!

Just a side note - XB360 exclusive means it's the only platform the game will feature on. Since it's coming to the PC as well, its not entirely exclusive - people who own PS3 systems or Wii systems and have a gaming PC can still play it without getting a 360. Just wanted to clarify for those people saying its a 360 exclusive

An exclusive means that it's exclusive to the consoles. By your definition a lot of Nintendo's and Sony's games would not be exclusives because they also appear on their portable systems.

Exclusive means that no one else has it, that it is the ONLY source you can play the game on. Just like "exclusive news" for a newspaper - no one else has the story, you can only read it there. So, because MW5 can be played on the PC as well, it is not exclusive to the 360. An example of an exclusive title would be Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears of War (at least I dont think a PC version was made), Zelda Twilight Princess, etc.

MW5 is NOT an exclusive title.

Not to point you out specifically, but why do people insist on altering the overall userbase for all gaming to fit their needs? Gamers for PC, HD consoles, Wii or portables are all gamers. The exclusion of any of these markets needs to stop.


We know it's also coming out on the PC it's in the damn topic.  People need to stop turning every thread into a fanboy pissing contest.  If you have a PC that will play this game then that's wonderful, if not and you have a 360 then bravo for you too.  Anyone that is more interested in arguing if it's a "console exclusive" instead of just talking about the actual game needs to seriously get a life.

M$owns the IP...so they will do what is needed to make this a ground breaking IP again.

Exactly, Im just throwing water on fanboy fires here, as their claims of "exclusivity" is just flamebait for sony fans and whatnot. I'm just setting right what is wrong, so you're addressing the wrong posting.

Btw, I'd be careful with using lines like "get a life", as telling people what to and not to post on an internet gaming forum wouldn't exactly be called "living life".

Did I mention that M$ OWNS the IP...

Just did some researching...your right. Microsoft owns all Mechwarrior related IPs, including Mechcommander and Mechassault. And the master chief action figure, for reference.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Just checking, since all this talk about non-exclusive/exclusive is a bit of some bunk!  M$ will do what's best to make the most amount of money...

As far as I know they haven't released who the publisher is yet. Wanna bet its microsoft? Have you ever played a Mechwarrior game before?

LOL I know this, I thin everything from Mechwarrior 3 or 4 onward was owned by MS game studios. I'm just entertained that 360 fans are so crazy when you say that its not exclusive, because PC people can play the game too. MS still gets the money regardless. I just like outing overzealous fanboys that don't even want MS to make profit on non 360 products.
