A game that could be really great.
It's really too bad.
For a competitive/semi-competitive player, it's pretty freaking lame when maps, meta, and OP mechs have degraded FW (which could have been really great) into a lame poke fest that goes a little something like this:
Inner Sphere: 50-60pt alphastrikes at long range
vs
Clan: 100pt alphastrikes at long range
*yawn*
why do we have SRMs? why not just delete them from the game code? So many people have push-o-phobia now too. It's really lame. Off to play pubg. Why? it sucks less.
Also, waiting 20 minutes for a non-match is BS jus sayin

except for the part about the absurd wait times. unless people are willing to schedule their entire lives around that tiny window when fp is active, its going to stay dead. unless you can move my state 2-4 timezones to the east then there is nothing i can do about it.

true, that does blow. You can be having a fairly decent time dropping and then run into 2 dead drops and it kills pretty much all momentum... waiting for like 30-40 minutes. Makes you wonder if you should be doing more useful things like underwater basket weaving etc.

There are many things one can do online while waiting in the lobby. It is perfect time for me to catch up on YT.

But if there's nothing good on TV I write an email to Paul Innoue with my latest 'minimal effort' ideas for improving Faction Play.

Man I've played plenty of invasions to know that most matches devolve into poke fest.

Sounds even more boring then just poke trading I rather commit seppuku with my mechs then that.

This is what happens when you have developers that are more interested in cash grabbing than participating and testing their product.

pgi is the new detroit. they built an empire on a single industry and when that industry stopped being viable then the whole thing went pear shaped. like detroit pgi did not diversify their sources of income and thus got stuck in this mech pack rut. if pgi didnt have the plan to ride the bubble until they can roll out their next product id be somewhat worried. though i have a hunch that mwo will die around the time mw5 comes out because they are (at least we hope) smart enough not to polish the brass on the titanic.

THE COMMUNITY.
Non-lore meta scum loadouts (endorsed by community)
Non-lore open mechlab (no downsides like wait time, availability,tech skill etc)
Scumbag Nascar runs (community)
Non-push wait fests (when not Nascar)
Stagnant map usage (community "accepted" tactics wasting 100km sq of map for 100 metres of a certain tunnel)
Non-lore lack of repair and rearm (due to community cry)
Clans (where's muh mad cat community)
Nerf/buff cycles (wild goose chase due to community cry)
Sense a pattern?
Pgi may have it's issues. Especially listening to the wrong people and e-peen/e-sports aspirations.
But the real blame. Is us.
The community.

There's a certain player I come across most nights and he's predictable as they come he always drives the same mech with the same build and does the same thing match after match. (No wonder the player base is so small when I keep seeing the same players over and over again). I won't name him (I think) but he always drives a shadow cat and always jumps up the highest and furthest point on the map and snipes with two ERPPC's he's nearly always last Man standing and if you find him and get too close he will inevitably run away. End of match he's usually above 80-90%.
Regardless of who's team he's on I know he'll waste the end of the match pretending to be that sniper in the tower in saving private Ryan.
The most cowardly player I have ever come across, either that or he's a complete stat warrior obsessive.
