I'm very concerned about the state of the game. Not only has gameplay gotten worse both in terms of balance and variety, but with the virtual destruction of team-based play, the game has become tactically boring. Add to this the fact that the meta-game is singularly the most boring, uninspired, lackluster metagame I've ever seen in an "MMO" and I don't see any sign that some sort of "community Warfare" can possibly turn this into an immersive, meanigful experience.

Thre game modes are uninspired and tactically unrealistic. This feels more like a Solaris-type game than MechWarrior.

I'm feeling really down about what I had such hopes for 8 months ago. :/

I would suggest reading the Answers to many of the more recent Ask the Devs question and answer sessions, as they contain information regarding the Summer, 2013 roll-out of Community Warfare

Well, fixing ECM and missiles would be a good start:

Missiles were the closest thing to "Thinking man's shooter." this game ever got.

(by fixing missiles: I mean maintain medium damage and speed them up so they aren't rewarded for being, and don't need to be: boated.)
(by fixing ECM: I mean give it what it had in TT, removal of advantage from BAP, Artemis, etc..not secret squirrel stealth mode.)

That would be a really good start.

Knock downs would help too- although that alone will definitely not save it.

I don't know about you, but I just had a blast last night playing 8 vs 8 against SJR in our RHoD match. GG

Both sides would have to pull out their head out of the body part where back looses it's honorable meaning.

Both PGI and the community itself got the game where it is now and as always, it is up to the same groups to fix things they screwed up.

Yes, there is something. It is nowhere to run from here. For now.

Yea, community really needs to help instead just asking for turning this in to another shooter.
Quick fixes got us to where we are now.

For starters, MWO is not an MMO. When I (my avatar) can go into a Bar, have an Ale and get into a brawl, then perhaps. Otherwise perhaps the OP is in the wrong genre room.
