Looking forward to getting my beta key and just wondering how people who have played, are liking the game. Give me your rating below!!

[Ancalagon]

I would say it's about an 8 in terms of combat (netcode is still being polished); I can't judge the meta game right now, as it doesn't exist in a solid form. The content would be something like 6 , but that's because we're still lacking community warfare, game types, and maps. Overall I find it to be a great game, considering that it hasn't got some giant game developer behind it.

[StandingCow]

Due to lack of content (but the game is really fun) I would say a 7. The key thing to remember and that I look at is potential. Once community warfare and more maps/mechs/etc are added... this game is going to be amazing.

[Cerebelli]

For now, about an 8. Once more content comes in (i.e. Community Warfare) then it'll be boosted up to a 9 or 9.5.

[Byk]

6 but climbing with each major patch.

[Upright]

It's not complete. I'm not going to guess at it's potenial.

Current game status is a 4.

[Bluey]

5 months ago it was 10
it went to 7 in second patch
it went to 5 a month ago
now its 2-1

[Logix]

As of October 26th, after new patch and Hero Mech introduced, the game is still so buggy that it just ****** you off that something this caliber is such a ****.

4/10 is my rating.

1. bugs, bugs, bugs
2. short matches, sometimes i only get to fire my weapons at someone once!
3. despise games that force you to look for friends in order to actually win a game. If you are a pug then you
suck profusely at this game. Especially if you don't use Vent, TS, or the in game Speak
4. No campaign, No cooperative play, and every map has same objectives
5. The shadows don't even move! I have the graphics turned up to the highest you can get and my shadow
looks like some sort of apparition hovering beside me
6. No buildings or vehicles or terrain can be blow up????????????? WTF!!!
7. Combat consists of "Load screen, Waiting on Pilots,...... count down from 9 seconds.... then everyone
trying to tell everyone else what to do, someone dies early because they ran in trying to scout, then the
premade group with all MC mechs comes over the hill and one shots everybody, all of which took 3 to 5
minutes. Then you are stuck with dumb repair bills and requeueing into almost the same scenario
again.


I was so excited to hear about this game and get accepted to BETA, I used to build Battletech sets and paint
all my Mechs myself, I've played all the other Mechwarrior games, and I was like a fat kid at a candy store
when I heard about this game!! Then it sucked. Still feels like Alpha testing to me, and its HUGELY lacking any sort of single player

[LarryDaBird]

3 or 4/10

Notice that every high rating is based on potential, This game really has it I agree but since I got into beta in August it feels like it has gone backwards. The progress is just awfully slow and in general it isn't fixing the issues that need to be fixed. (clipping crashing bugs). Based on progress my potential rating plummets and I think we are going to end up with a finished product that is similar to what we have now, incomplete game play from what was expected, very few mechs, and tidbits of new content and developer promises to keep the carrot dangled firmly in front of your face to keep you playing.

[JP Josh]

the game itself in its current build is a 6

good but gets borin after a while.

i expect to raise the bar to a 8 or 10 when factions come into play and pricing is put up for your faction unit.

my mechs cost less because my faction produces most of them.

also wheres my ANNIHILATOR!

[JP Josh]

also logix is a farkin troll dont listen to him. in game theirs no gold cannon/lazer/missle. and really premades beinifit from better communication just proving how important communication is.

and the hero mech may be scay but kill the arm or shoulder with the ac 20 on it and like the haunch back its not that scary any more.

[Sean von Steinike]

In its current form? 5 or 6
But potential to rate up to a 9 or 10.
Still a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, many features that need to be added, more maps need to be put in, etc.

[Jason1138]

7 or 8, i would say. the patch today made it ALOT better

they keep removing content to work on it and adding more, then next patch removing some and adding more, etc, so alot of the guys who are mad just had something they liked removed or haven't had what they wanted added yet

but over all i think the game is very good for this stage. it needs alot of bug fixing and alot of new mechs and maps, but its coming along well and i feel alot better about how its going after the patch today

[Gun Bear]

Gameplay is solidly 8, graphics is a 7, sadly they haven't completed anything else yet so I can't rate the game.

[Magik0012]

8

Edit: But a very enjoyable 8, don't get me wrong.

[Dataman]

in this state, I'll give 7.5 with potential.

the battles are fun, I like most the mechs designs (almost... because still holding the grudge that Raven looks like a jackal than a bird)

graphics are good, and it could upgraded.

gameplay are fun. mechanics are realistic but not trying to be 'only for mechwarrior veteran'

[T3N5H1]

A good 7
2 points who could be better:
Netcode
Sound/Audio/Music
The last point point is from the missing DX11 feature.
Rest is good

[CheeseThief]

5.

Lacks content.

[Dr Killinger]

Pre-yesterday's patch? 7- obvious potential, but firmly in Beta.
Post-yesterday's patch? 9- suddenly the game is coming alive to me, and is more game, less beta. We can see the customization elements coming into their own, and the game itself becoming very varied and just flat-out carnage-filled fun.

What could make it better for me? DX11 (which is coming soon), music, better handling of grouping etc, and most importantly, netcode tweaks (That said, I've seen a decent improvement in latency recently, not sure why ). More content is obviously on it's way.

[Rugarou]

7-8 with the current beta patch and overall getting better every patch.

With the addition of more content and squashing of some bugs, I expect it to reach 9-9.5 after Community Warfare hits.
