This rant you are about to read is just that. Me sharing my personal feelings about the game and seeing if there is anyone else that shares my concerns. I have been playing this game since October of last year. When I first started to play I thought this was the greatest game EVER!! It revived the inner child in me and brought me back to the days of MW, MW2 and Mercenaries. At first I was reluctant to cough up any cash for this game because I was skeptical of what that money would buy me.
However, I built a rig. $900 dollars later I was Even more impressed with games graphics and physics. I was still having fun with it. Then sometime around June or July things started to change for me. I hit a KDR of about 1.2 (not very high) and patches seemed to increase drastically and changed the game every week. New mechs constantly being released but no new weapons. Weapons characteristics are constantly being changed without any consideration as to what effect it may have (i.e. making other weapons OP, LRMs once kept long range weapons like ERPPC's ad Gauss in check). Matches seemed to be incredibly out of balance. Regardless of a players skill level a mechs weight class and load out are a stronger factor. An entire lance of light mechs, noob or pro, will ruin your day.
Despite all this I still bought into the Overlord Phoenix package and a few hero mechs. I did all this in hopes that maybe you guys would turn things around and start listening to to some one else other than Call of Duty hacks who only care about the mighty alpha and number of kills. I thought this game was dubbed the "thinking mans" shooter game. That name seems to have been given a little too soon. Despite my efforts to use all the weapons at my disposal, make builds that maximize damage while maintaining heat efficiency and using smart tactics in the field. It always seems like its the Alpha builds that fire, shut down, override, fire, shut down, override etc. That win the day. This game is turning into Call of Duty and Im beginning to regret all the money I spent on it. Never again am I spending money on this game.
