Hey there fellow Mechwarriors!

After a 3 year break, I started playing again.

I have to say, MWO is a much better game than it was 3 years ago.

- It’s possible to play the game without investing anything. (No PAY-TO-WIN) I spent hundreds of $ on the game, but I hate pay-to-win with flaming passion.

- It seems rather balanced to me. I might not be the smartest/best player out there, but I never have the feeling that something is blatantly overpowered which makes the game more fun to play.

- Faction Warfare is really, really fun to play and well implemented. For such a small studio, the quality of the product is very high and for so low player numbers you can find matches quite fast.

- The customer services is excellent, fast reaction and very polite and friendly, even to idiots like me.

So, I just want to say:

Thank you PGI for this nice Battletech game!

And.....cue the Bitter Vets (or as I know them "Auxiliary Salt Saying Homogeneous Osmotic Legal Enforcement Service) who will refute everything you just said and will smite you with their intelligence, beauty, and righteousness....or so they keep saying.

Love MWO...but I've only been playing since the summer. Found out I really suck at this game but have a ball anyway. I love my Light mechs!!

I fully agree with you by the way...

Cheers

MWO, like all other games, has its flaws, it's Pro's, and more importantly, those that have different ideals as to what the game should be.

But bluntly, the game is fun. more so with other people. it's a team game, so go find some people to play with and have some fun at it. I sure do.

Playing with friends...most of us are utter noobs...

Just last night...Teammate in a LRM only mech is screaming "Kill The Urbanmech..>KILL HIM<".....I was laughing my azz off watching this little mech chase a much bigger mech around and around a rockpile. Seriously funny **** right there. I'm sitting in my Panther thinking "Do I join the race around the rock or just shoot him when he runs by?"....and neither mech appears. So I go around the other side and the Urby is literally hugging the other mech (he was out of ammo).

Where else can you laugh at a garbage can groping a mickey mouse eared catapult? Love MWO...

We still lost but...who cares...

Cheers

ultimately i agree that this is a fun game and the one ive spent the most money on. Its only when the games compared to what was originally envisioned that its starts to look not so good. Overall, taken as it is, its a fairly competent online shooter. If i didnt have fun mostly i wouldnt play it.

For me it's gotta be a recent one; running with pariah and a few other around here in huntsman hero ripping guys in scouting a new one, and then he tells me not to poo-poo the Huntsman in his face ever again because we were debating it and the hbk IIC.... lol.

the other was scouting again, making fun of the hbk IICs arms.... and I remember this:

" I'd run my hbk IIC if it's arms didn't look like it was trying to flap them to fly."

XD

heh right?

Wolves - thanks for the objective snapshot of today vs. when you stopped 3 years ago. It really is dramatically better than it was, despite all the wingeing you see on the forums.

As long as you're enjoying yourself, that's ultimately what counts. My advice as always is just play it casually, and you'll get hours of entertainment out of it.

Johnny, please stop doing that. Your blissful ignorance is over 9000, and I almost spewed tea at my new monitor, wasn't really prepared for such a joke out of the blue, just scrolling down the forum page. Geez.

So I have to take a 3 year break to find something new in the game it seems? One year (ok 9 months) didn't quite do... Looking forward to summer, not looking forward to doubtly needed balance changes...

Ya? What game is better? The 90's clone competition isn't any better and any other next gen games like Star Citizen are vapour ware.

Should this game be maybe the best at this point with the amount of gameplay and features it has? No it shouldn't, but thanks to the trash competition it is, or close to it. There is a lesson here.

Whoa,

Pump your brakes sport amount of gameplay? Its TDM, there is only 10-30 minutes of gameplay in any match like that. Unless you are talking about the GRIND, which most dont consider GAMEPLAY especially without a story.

I mean a lot of better games come to mind before MWO that are out right now, but as far as are there any better TDM only games right now? Um not really because most roll that into the story and other part of the game if they are gonna offer it. (PvP that is in some form) but Planetside 2 was way better then MWO at its game for a long time and im sure it still is, i havent played it in a while but they did CW or FP or whatever we call it a lot better then MWO did too.


World of Tanks is a great game as well, Grind is of Korean proportions much like MWO but its a slug fest TDM game much the same.

MWO is not what I envisioned it would be. Despite what others were saying about a single player game, I really just welcomed any form of MechWarrior combat since I hadn't seen it in so long. This game is fine, just it is way past its due date for a lot of things that they are only now considering.

I'm finding it very difficult to be cross with Russ over the promised but not delivered Command Console Fix with such overwhelming positivity. QUICK! WE MUST FIND SOMETHING ARBTIRARY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT! THE LONGER AGO IT HAPPENED, THE BETTER!
