Mechwarrior Online scored a very respectable score of 83 in our October 2013 review, but it obviously hasn't been entirely sunshine and lollipops since then. Fans have complained loud and long about missing features, delays and a glacial pace of development that has left major aspects of the game in an incomplete state. But Piranha Games President Russ Bullock recently announced that publisher Infinite Games is no longer involved with the project, which he said has already increased the pace of the game's development.
 
"It's with great excitement that I share with you that Piranha Games Inc. has reached a deal with Infinite Game Publishing for the return of all MWO publishing rights to PGI as of September 1st 2014," Piranha Games President Russ Bullock announced earlier this week. He said that Infinite Games brought "passion and dedication" to the project over the past three years but added, "It can still be very difficult at times to make the corporate needs and strategies of two companies align."

Im still sad there was no single player or even multiplayer campaign for it.  All the old Battletech universe games had it, and there was SOOO much history and intrigue in that universe, it seems like such a shame that it is missing.

I know many do not play single at all anymore, does not change the fact that6 I miss games that had more good solo content.
Were you a Mechwarrior/Battletech fan previously?  The amount of story written into it, both during missions as well as either the I think it was called "Situation" tab or something that gave other major things happening at the time, as well as where your mission played into the bigger overarching story, or in the Merc's games the the Journal, if you had the patients to read the story got soooo much more depth, and Battletech has so much history table top games, old video games dozens or hundreds of books.  I'm just a long term fan of the universe as a whole and loved the narrative in the game, and yes I played TONS of multiplayer before as well, but for myself, it feels like it is missing something with multiplayer only.

Oh, I didn't mean there shouldn't be SP, just that I wouldn't personally play an SP campaign. However, one of my favourite games of all-time is MechWarrior 3. I probably invested close to 200 hours or more when it was a current release. I have no idea how many times I played the SP campaign. I just never got into the lore itself. The PC games have all been really awesome, and the only lore I know is from MW3 and MW4/Clans. But you're right, MWO just feels kind of incomplete without any ties to the universe other than piloting Mechs. At the very least, there should be a MP campaign, even if it only takes 10 hours to complete. At least tell us where we're at, how we got there, or something...Anything.
