Hey, all.
I don't post much, nor do I communicate on comms during open matches. I just wanted to put my two cents on MWO game play and what I am doing here in the first place.
I have plenty of reasons why I both love and hate MWO. I have been busy offline and have been mostly inactive. Recently, I had to reformat and after reinstalling MWO, I wanted to screw around a bit in the servers. Really, I only wanted to see if my little rig was running correctly and to see what's happening in the game.
I am an old guy, a grizzled and cagey veteran of this MW franchise. If you see me in a game, you should know I am not looking for unsolicited advice on how to play. I was part of a championship team online before most of you were old enough to pick up a Game Boy, let alone before you were born.
I don't want to go on a rant but there is a real issue here of who plays and how they play. All of that is not important to me. I just show up to take a break from life and have a bit of fun. I guess I came back to MWO to see if I still "got it" and can compete with the rest of you. As in: GL & HF.
The thing I guess I dislike the most is MWO is now the "speed kills" kind of game. Unlike previous iterations of MW, the small mechs seem to have a big advantage. It's not necessarily wrong but quite a bit different from the old days. Kinda like the countries with better drones and hacks can take down countries with big and expensive military hardware.
Just two cents.
