I have a great time playing MWO, but sometimes you just need a break and want to mix it up a bit. I was trying to think of other games (single or multi-player) that were even remotely like MWO and was struggling a bit. All I could think of was maybe some space games...
Any thoughts of what to play when my Unit isn't on or get frustrated getting headshot again with dual Gauss. :-)
Thanks for your help!

A more fast paced mecha game but not very well received:
http://store.steampo.../271290/HAWKEN/
A shooter with mech elements. Unfortunately, it is run by Origin and EA, however, it gets good reviews and has what is reported as an excellent single player campaign:
https://www.ea.com/g...all/titanfall-2
Mechanized suits and a shooter type as well:
http://store.steampo...ht_Retribution/
If imagination and building is your thing, this may be of interest:

Three of those four are free to play, so no harm in trying them out. Ultimately, MWO does still stand on it's own in it's unique experience. Hope you find this info useful. Also, the Battletech Game Beta is just around the corner https://community.ba...ms/threads/6549

ah robotcrft i used to play and enjoyed building fighting vehicle/aircraft and try them out in games. i quitted after the base capturing and AI robot? because that implementation made alot bugs with the game and couldnt handle it but it seems those things gonne might pick it up again. One thing that bother me though that it still has the early acces tag on it though. it probably far from early acces anymore after 2 year but game keeping it to keep the excuse anything wrong stil works in progress .
Edit: how the grind btw i think that was one of the downside of the game.
Edit2 : wait they removed tier system and put in CPU system? does it still seperate low blocks/weapon setup or is evrtyhign smashed together now and everybody smahed in match regardelss how strong/weak there thing are???
edit3: it has lootcrate now and certain item color locked behind a wall??? i am kinda concerned even trying it now

Unfortunatly this game is dead and there is no ETA on the next version of the game but it was great when it worked.

For example, once (before we got the "Academy", I suggested something Virtual Reality esque that might be nostalgic for MW2 in terms of appearance which could teach the core gameplay mechanics. A year after I tried the training in Hawken, and was like "Well that's just neat" and discovered that my suggestion was cut and pasted onto Hawken's forums along with similar ideas, leading to what was Hawken's training system.
Someone had literally cut my suggestion for MWO, edited some minor things and gave it as their own post over there and it got (at least partially) into the game in a way similar to what I described. Slightly irked at the lack of credit (my pattern for needless commas is plastered all over it and a lot is word for word). So mixed feelings. But try that.
Sadly I don't much care for Hawken's gameplay, maps are too small, the respawn mechanic is hectic and I'm not a fan of twitching. But I gotta say it was somewhat eerie that suggestions I kept making in the feature section for MWO back in 2012, 2013 kept appearing in Hawken, from the training to the mechanics in their version of the mechbay to give you a sense of scale.
Now a confident developer might take "Oh, well it seems those of our playerbase whom also like Battlefield particularly like this game mode; something similar could really work in MWO..." And churn happier players that play more and spend more.
But meh.

There's also a few other super Asian/Gundam like games that didn't get wide releases, Zone of the Enders may have been one but I'm pretty fuzzy on those titles.

Looks like they have another Heavy Gear game coming out built on the same system when I looked a few weeks ago anyhow. So maybe that means 2 releases - or they just changed the name and scope of the game?

As far as I know there is only one. At the very least I am not seeing any reference to another one.

War Robots is both similar and yet different from MWO at the same time.
