I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I just picked up mw5 mercs, and its put a smile on my face! The game is really really fun to play, and the graphics are far more impressive in person than on screenshots, especially the Mech hanger.

Got it running on my ps5 on 4k. Walking around seeing your mechs in that perspective is just great to see. I put my TV sharpness and colour up, the metal of the mechs looks so good, and seeing the blue ice snow maps tinge was also cool since for me as it was nostalgic.

Anyway the combat and sounds is also really great fun. You can hear Ac shots whizzing by you like some saving private Ryan move. Aiming a distance with ACs is fun and rewarding, but so is just brawling and melee'ing at close range. You can really run around and cause havoc. The mechs sometimes explode like crazy. Jump jetting around is extremely fun and so is running through buildings. Take some time to set the controls to your liking, as it makes a difference.

Anyone on the fence about getting it definitely pick it up on special.

I'm gonna get MW5:Mercs all in one go, because it's on GOG.com
(I buy on GOG.com where possible)

Great, Lucky Melee is in the game lol.

It is a pretty solid game for a vanilla and modded playthrough or two, really is a shame PGI decided to not support the game with content.
