Expected something more on Launch day.
Buffs to almost useless weapons that still don't make em worth taking and ... well pretty much nothing els. Had hoped that they would surprise us with U.I 2.0 or at least a new map.

Because it was more important to put 3rd pv in the game I guess.

I'll agree that having a functional 3pv system is important for things like spectating a game, something that a lot of big/competitive F2P games do.

That said, I'd still rather have most any other feature before that.

Annd? What?.....

And the "meh" is confirmed...a swing and a miss for such a big day.

you lucky competitive Warriors.

We are just customers willing to pay for your product but you leave no option to do so. Good buisness model. Brilliant!

[Kibble]

Relax guys. It's possible something will be announced or shown that is super amazing at the launch party. I am hopeful.

All trial mechs are Champion mechs so the critics won't be reviewing the game with the awful stock mechs.

I see what you did there PGI.

You don't even get the bonus XP for running champions.

Instead of the current system, why not just have trial mechs be customizable, they just leave your garage (leaving behind the parts you added to them) when they get cycled?

Trial mechs are supposedly going away with UI2.0 and training, so this is at least a functional "till then, here's this" concession. Though the 5M stalker build that they had as a trial was usable stock as well, so the ones just cycled had at least 2 viable builds.

No CW, no UI 2.0, No clan mechs, no fixing ghost heat, no new maps, no new mechs, no new game modes, no removing 3PV from general queue.

Oh and I still see 'beta' tags everywhere.

Hahaha...wow

[Aylek]

Wow, impressive launch. Let's see if the big game magazines are impressed as well.

[Alpha087]

Doesn't matter what they say at this point. Most of the people who are upset are so far beyond reconciling that there's just no pleasing them.

Myself on the other hand, am going to enjoy fitting and dropping in an Orion today. Thanks PGI.

It's a marked step forward to have all trial mechs be in a somewhat optimal state. Now you can actually get a feel for a mech before making a purchase. If you were able to customize trials, there would really be little incentive to buy your own.

No, because you can't get masteries in trials. You can't keep it after its two-week rotation is over. That's the motivation for keeping the mech.

If nothing else, it's better than the current system (not like that's exactly hard).

As a side note (cause I'm a lazy dolt to edit my earlier post) this game needs an average of about 7 across the board to see a tomorrow and so forth (ignoring metacritic scores of course).

[Tigerchen]

Hahahahahaha....can`t stop laughing......this is the worst Game Launch in History. Even Ubisoft with his {Scrap} Online Games like Ghost Recon Online did more at launch. And this game was sh**** as hell. I can't believe it.

[Pendraco]

Cheers for launch! What is Operation 24??????!!!!

[xZaOx]

Based on this, every 2 weeks is LAUNCH DAY!

[Sherelian]

Hey, Matt !

What is wrong with the Staff. Are you seriously trying to hit the community, which is waiting for some time to anything special due a launch?

I feel pranked.

However, this means that many angry gold founders and rabblers (people who just hate) will now visit metacritic and drown it in zeros............

I hope that anyone that "crowd reviews" the game gives honest ratings of _the game as it is deployed today_. Not reviews of PGI's pr/marketing/communications skills. The _game_ is fun, if thin. PGI's comms are... not as fun.

[TopRay]

Maybe I am missing something but the only thing that made the UAC5 more attractive than the standard AC5 was its rate of fire. So with the nerf now to the UAC5 RoF we basically have a choice of a AC5 that jams or an AC5 that doesn't. Nice way to make the UAC5 totally redundant.

[Scrawny Cowboy]

I was told there would be cake and ice cream.
