Thunder_Rush: Why are they calling it a squad of mechs instead of a lance. That's kinda...you know, ignoring the lore you are working with.
Rublore: They want to get as many people to buy this game as they can, which means selling it to the average public. People who know nothing about Battletech won't have heard the word lance as anything other than something used by a knight. Squad, though, is pretty well understood. They use (and presumably explain) the word lance in-game.
Surely they could have just said "Command a lance (i.e. squad)..."? - that way it's obvious to the "average joe" without looking like they're changing the lore.
Thunder_Rush: 60 GBs of disk space required? Are you sure devs? Is this just a typo?
It's a modern game with current-gen graphics and (hopefully) a ton of content - so it's not too unusual. These days it seems devs don't bother with (much) compression, figuring everyone has massive HDs.
While a 4TB external HD is dirt cheap these days (having only grabbed a new one myself recently), I unfortunately live in a part of the world with crappy internet speeds - so when I eventually get this it will likely take me a few days to download...
Hopefully they don't assume everyone puts this on an SSD so the loading times don't get insane either...
