Everytime I think about giving Mechwarrior Online , or better known as "The Game that ***** battletech" another chance , PGI showes me that there is no end in ruining a great franchise.


1. The server instability .... at certain times you can't play as a european .cause the northamericans are awarded lag-shielding.

2. The artillery abuse .... the game is actually called MECHWARRIOR online. And please wise guys keep your comments about modern armies and artillery ... cause then I have to tell everyone below 28 that only RANKING officers can call down artillery support ... PGI should only let the ranking officers (Company) call down 1-5 arty strikes per game , by using the tactical screen

3. The weapon balancing ... still it is only usable using 1 system (LRM / AC ) , and what about MGs? Those weapons are NOT supposed to be the main weapon in a battlemech fight ...

After all I had high hopes for MWO but PGI is like a government .. taking money for delivering nothing ... and only because they want to make the game mainstream so FPS players will join ... instead of first making the game work , because in a good game the people will join. stop making it arcade and give us the tactical shooter you promised, implementing tactical parts to the game, like I suggested in 2..

I second this

That was somewhat painful to read...

Someone care to inform him about machine guns? Or LRMs?

McGral: Would someone inform you that I played the game when you where still thinking Battlefield is realistic

Who said battlefield is realistic? I've been playing a full year longer than you.

MGs deal 2 damage to battlemechs, same as AC2s but at shorter range. Why shouldn't they be a main weapon?


As for "1 main weapon system" you list two, one of which is indeed effective. The other, however, has its effectiveness completely decided by the target. If you die to lurms a lot...the issue is you.

The Comp people seem to be saying that hitscan is now meta again, after two years. How things change.


Arty is "Working as Intended", it's AC35s falling from the sky to hopefully get an RNG headshot. They are cheap and effective, and Paul decided a 400% buff was the best way to move forward.

People who think MGs shouldn't be viable in mech vs mech fights should be leghumped to death by a star of Piranhas all day every day for at least one year.

No no, the OP says it should be useless! He knows best!

They could create a nich for BT och mech fans. But NO, need money from CoD crowd and Star Star citizen crowd. But guess what? they allready got their CoD and Space games, they dont need yours.

Perhaps you should try using words and arguments. Otherwise you'll get .Gifs.

PGI has based the game on a almost 30 Year old franchise ... and the MG is only a support weapon , like the AC2, the bigger weapons are the king of the battlefield, except for The game that took the Mechwarrior name ...

Either we're seeing a big ol' language barrier or this guy is trolling and/or a baddie.

Your face is only a support weapon.

I don't think the OP remembers the days where MGs were the laughing stock weapon. Seeing Spider-5Ks tickle mechs and were valid targets to for virtually the whole match was just freaking brilliant!

Once upon a time, Flamers were better than Machine guns.
