Well, its over. Closed Beta was a long several months, and was astounds me is...the game did not change, progress, or improve one bit.

It makes me wonder, what the hell are the developers doing with all that money they made with founders packages? From their posts, they called it a huge success. Sure it was for them, but was it for you? If you paid $60 for a game not yet ready, would it not surprise you if the final product looked improved, or peformed better than when it started?

Of course these are reasonable assumptions. However nothing could be further from the truth. The game is still horribly broken, the match making system doesn't exist. It takes a premade team and pulls in pugs to fill the rest of the slots.

It was a relief actually, getting rid of this game, as it can no longer waste my time or emotions on something so fruitless, bland, and generally not fun at all. So many of us wanted to love this game, on concept alone, however its the execution that matters. That is where this game falters.

Adeiu my fellow puggers! Fare the well, on to better things...like Hawken.

You just finished posting about how you're going to make a 3-month Review of this game on your Blog, and you're uninstalling during the very begining of Open Beta.

Your reviews must be heralded by Peer-reviewed journals across academia.

since i've joined closed beta, the only patch i was not extremely disappointing with their decisions in, was the River City update.


If they are willing to bring this game into open beta. Without even weapon tooltips. just says something about their standards of craftsmanship.

that among many other bad decisions.

Yes, a 3 month review of a game that has not changed in 3 months, why the hell would they change it now in open beta? Open beta implied 99% complete game and just making sure their servers can handle the traffic.

That shouldn't be a problem since most of them will be empty. Don't worry, I am sure you will have plenty of Pugs to take advantage of, and that you invested in a game thats about to fail, good luck in your endevours.

Stopped reading right there. Apparently you played the closed beta for the same amount of time you played the open beta.

Uh.. quote please? Maybe you just broke your own lofty unfounded expectations? Actually, thats probably exactly what happened.

Admittedly, this is a bit of an overreaction.

Hawken LOL a game so terrible I couldnt even give away my beta account. Enjoy your Call of Duty with robot skins.

Say all the "Legendary Founders" funny how you all replied in order to mitigate damage done.

The game made minor tweaks and added a few crappy mechs but the fundamentals of gameplay did not change, and the frame rate sucks, the lag sucks and the game in general is not fun because of the performance issues. You can add cannons and mechs but if the mechanics of the engine do not work no one will play!

This is why I said, less eye candy and more peformance enhancements.

Funny you say that we're posting to mitigate damage- when in reality I think your overreaction is hilarious and I'm kind of glad to see you go. I just figured I'd check out the forums before bed, after spending a day having fun playing the very game you're bashing.

Also, why would the fundamentals of gameplay ever change? The game's fundamentals are great! I get a big stompy robot, a team of my friends, and I play Mechwarrior. Blow some folk up, get blown up on occasion, but all in all this is what I've come to expect and enjoy from the franchise.

With all your talk of writing a 3 month review, I hope your journalistic standards exceed what I see here in your posts.

I'm sorry to read that many people have judged this game so harshly.. it has only been in open beta for 2 days. The matchmaking was assed up before open beta, why all the hate all of the sudden? There was PuG stomping before it went open.

They have plans to fix the Matchmaking, so why don't you calm down and wait?

If you know anything about game design, its that problems aren't solved overnight, they take some time. They are monitoring the forums, and taking into consideration the things you say. So what they messed up? At least give them a CHANCE to fix their mistake before you ragequit.

Its really disappointing to see so many people raging about all the things that aren't right. Do you think they don't know that there are kinks to work out? I've heard lots of people say "Open Beta is the equivilant of Release for F2P games" and I disagree 100%... beta is there to help work out the glitches, and to smooth out the wrinkles before they release it. I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset with the current situation, I'm just saying have a little patience, and some faith.

Thats my rant on that topic.

Maybe you don't get what I am saying regarding a 3 month review. Its a review of my experience of this game over the time span of 3 months, its not going to be a play by play or a journal. I bet your write in your diary about every match before you go to bed, I am not creaming my pants over your beloved mechwarrior suckfest. It will just be the unfortunate truth in this case. A game with so much potential, ultimately wasted on greed and poor game mechanics and poor development decisions. You're a fanboy, so I don't blame you for being emotionally defensive when someone bashes the game.
