I don't play many other Games at all in fact MWO is pretty much the Only game i play. I have to say though visually the detail is impressive. BUT games like Hawken their levels are simply incredible, yeah they're small and not a great deal of them but the actual numbers of shapes and contours is enough to embarrass MWO. Now i'm not saying Mwo has crap levels far from it. HPG, mining collective and River city as a few have clearly had some work put into them.
One thing from memory that MW4 still has over MWO is the movement feel. Despite some clashing arms and legs on some mechs but the MWO mechs are still a bit too rigid for my liking.
I won't pretend to be up to speed on the technology behind these games but even 12 years has made a massive difference in game detail. PGI for the large part have done a very good job of making the mechs look more realistic. Comparing them to their Original art some mechs look purely comical but now look pretty feasible. Take the blackjack (ii) and centurion in the the Mektek pack they looked rather daft in MW4 but in MWO they look great. Again the MWO atlas looks far better than the MW4 one. I will agree though a lot of the clan mechs actually look a bit worse. I have never liked PGI's take on the Most iconic battlemech ever the TW and the Ryoken too for that matter. The MW4 versions both looked much better. The Direfail (which apparantly can skip it's 100 tons of lard arse around), Kitfox and nova though do look quite good but the best looking clan mech so far in my opinion in MWO is the Mad dog. Where's its bloomin chin turret!!!!
