Ok, so last time I played. The Cyclops was just announced and I decided to take a break.

But, I did not kept with the new and what was going on with the game.
Did the Faction Play changed in good? How are the populations between IS and Clan?
Did the devs manage to resolve some stuff?

No.
Clan Heavy.
Some, but they create new and exciting problems along the way.

I think dialog added to the matches is one of the larger additions as well as comm wheel and decals. The other additions are not so large as to effect every match and so much game play but are there as well.

Map improvements are also great additions and new modes.

Faction play is finally playable and definitely worth a try.

Is it possible to select a faction and stay with it for a time but leave it if you don't like?

Was kinda unsure of where I should try first. Clan or IS. Since I'm a Clan Wolf member at heart but I also like Davion (yeah I know. I'm a white knight.)

You should probably read this roadmap. New tech has been confirmed by PGI, so big things are coming. IK has been delayed again though.

I should hope the Blood Asp gets in. It is certainly better than the alternative.

Devs managed to consolidate the CW buckets.










That's about it.

We should probably mention that Faction play is played on regular maps now with respawns and adjusted objectives that make game modes sensible. Also queues are short and matches feel better as there isn't as much hopping from game back to the hangar and into another game again. God, all those loading screens. It's really worth a try now. You basically play the same thing but it has respawns and the match lasts longer.

Good! I already gave it a Try and joined again Clan Wolf to conquer the Inner Sphere!
It is sad, but necessary.


Thanks a lot for your answers guy. It's nice to see that Community is still holding up. :)

Don't think about what you missed.
Jump in your favourite mech and unleash some destruction.

I keep saying this game will never be a complete Battletech experience, not even close.
But it is good, actually well balanced and fun!

P.S. If you want to put your nose into FW again, Scouting is a very good way.

Well, it will always miss some stuff compared to let's say: MW: Living Legend, still I think it's a nice way to release some stress and have some fun.

Also, riding your Founder Atlas is always badass.

Instead of listening to biased, positive and negative mumbo jumbo from the rest of us (me included) read the patch notes for yourself of what you missed, so you get a clear and neutral view on things.
