Practically, not literally, because I did play a few matches. The problem seems to be connected to joining a CW unit. Here is my experience in the 4 drops I played tonight:

1) I joined my unit on teamspeak (still not in a unit in the game). Everything was pretty normal except I got stuck on the map on river city night between the helicopter pad and the citadel and couldn't move. Never happened before, but could just be an existing bad map problem.

2) I joined my unit on teamspeak (still not in a unit in the game). Ran a completely normal game of conquest on river city night - I died and we lost, but no game issues.

I joined my unit's in-game CW unit. Yay!

3) Dropped with 7 or 8 of my unit, but I could only see friendly triangles on 4 of my team. No one in my lance had a friendly triangle, it was completely random. 2 from my unit showed up, and 1 from outside my unit. It was the same in the hud and the map ... without visual, I had no idea where anyone was. The enemy team showed up fine. After the match was over, I clicked "leave" and got an unknown error, then crashed to desktop.

4) Dropped with 4 or 5 of my unit. I never got the screen where you click ready, but I ended up in alpine peaks. I could move and shoot, but couldn't see any other mechs. I didn't have a mini-map and B didn't work to bring up the big map. My lance could see me, but I couldn't see anyone else. I had to ask them if the game had started. I disconnected from the match and then reconnected, and then I could see everyone again. All the triangles were there and the match played normally for me. I managed to sneak up on some sniper raven since I was so far behind the rest of my team. When the match ended I clicked "leave" and went to a "connecting" screen. I had to bring up task manager and kill MWO to get out. I left it at connecting for 2 or 3 minutes before doing that just to make sure. I also opened a browser to make sure it wasn't just a bad internet connection.

As you can see, post-unit joining, my experience was pretty abysmal. I admit, I only ran two drops, but 2 out of 2 is bad. I hope things get fixed and fast because I don't feel like going through alpha and beta again.
