Well actually in this games it barely provide them.
Also, many Clan players around here have waited to play with their favourite Clan since MechWarrior 2, just like me. What are you going to tell them?
To enjoy their favorite Adjective Animal - but if their idea of "playing the Clans" is "being better than everyone else," they're out of luck. If you want to be the best, you'll have to practice like everyone else.
Also, in response to a certain rant, which was indeed long and tedious, I have to point out that "slightly altering how guns work" is not "spitting and stepping on the lore." Nor, indeed, are direct comparisons to other games whose development (allegedly) has gone according to plan as burning an indictment of PGI as the purveyors of such claims seem to believe. PGI's development hasn't gone according to plan; that's glaringly obvious - and sure, it's frustrating and reflects badly on the company. But much of the reason that development hasn't gone to plan was unforseen problems with the engine itself. It's very hard to evaluate how effective PGI
should have been in addressing those, given their manpower and the nature of the problem. Comparisons with other games whose developers were able to use out-of-the-box game engines without having to modify them is invalid reasoning in this sense - you can't vaguely hand-wave at "other small development teams" in different games as some kind of meter-stick for how to deal with unforeseeable difficulties in development.
Certainly, the game has had problems in development, and some problems still remain. But I think the things that are going right outweigh the things that are going wrong - and so do you. Otherwise, no matter how much you've spent till now, you shouldn't be playing the game. If the game shows enough promise to justify your time and money, it's doing ok - if it
doesn't show such promise, either you got your money's worth in fun while the fun lasted, or you wasted your cash from the start. Either way, you shouldn't be playing the game any more. If you're still playing the game, that right there is a stronger endorsement than any amount of tedious forum ranting.
PS: OP should probably actually go look at the information PGI released about their tentative plans for CW before embarrassing himself with any further erroneous opinions about it. =)
