Information overload.

A lot of new information has been revealed today as Piranha Games has dropped a lot of MechWarrior Online information in their latest dev blog on Mech Warfare. In the blog, Piranha Games notes that their combat principles are focused on three core concepts: Mech Operations, Target Acquisition, and Engagement.

Perhaps the most interesting feature revealed is the forward and backward movement throttle, where players will not be moving quickly like in a first-person shooter. Instead, players will set their BattleMech to move forward or backward, and if they need to change direction quickly, they'll need to quickly churn down their throttle in order to do so (think driving a car with your foot perpetually on the gas).
