Its super clunky compared to MWO. just the UI, key bindings and stuff like that feel outdated compared to MWO's.

I don't care about graphics and other than the wonky controls I enjoyed what I played so far.

I imagine the developers for early pc games were just looking down at their keyboards and screaming "I'm going to use all these keys!". then laughing evilly as they typed out the code.

if MWO would let us create macros, i'm telling ya that i would use my whole keyboard for MWO also. So i did in WoW and every other game wich allowed it before and i still know all the keybinds from them ;)

The reason for this is that it is not made for a keyboard,but in fact a joystick. It also has enough functions to use that many keys with everything from commands to several different firing methods. As for the mechlab though it is better than MWOs in most people's opinions due to the fact that you can see all components at once while modifying.

Bingo....JS worked great in that game like it is supposed to... Ill ask everyone a question ..When you look down at dashboard during the cockpit animation of MWO is it a mouse and keyboard you see or is it a joystick?

MW4 is outdated, but way easier to play and use than MWO. If MW4 developers had the tech. MWO does, they'd blow MWO out of the water so fast it'd make water flush backwards.
