-A horrible newbie grind of over 100 games before you can buy and equip a decent mech
-Trial mechs that are no more than overheating coffins
-Jenners that skip across the screen and can't be hit
-Your view blacking out whenever you take more than two hits from a missile or ballistic weapon
-Lag
-The same maps over and over
I would also argue that despite arguments to the contrary, the game is not F2P but Pay to Win. Those who pay have more money, more mechs, more customization. They have a ton of advantage over someone just starting out.
I was looking forward to another Mechwarrior game and have been sorely disappointed in this one. And please spare me the "it is still in beta" garbage. The game is released to the public and they take money for transactions. Not beta.

Welcome to BETA.
Your definition of "pay to win" is wrong.
Maybe you should wait on this until release?

-Um, they take money for the game. Not beta.
-As a founder, you earn more money than me. More money means more mechs, more customization. You get to tune your mechs whereas a newb gets one of the trial coffins. You paid, you have advantages I don't.
-The game is released to the public with a side of "we take money now".

You may be happy to know that MW:O costs less than 1/5th of an X-Box title to play as a Premium Account user every month if you buy MC at the bulk-rates and use it to buy 1 Month of Premiumness at a time (winds up being about $10-11 a month) Even then if you decide to stop spending money after a few months, you get to keep playing for free with all the stuff/money/XP you earned while runnin' Premium.

In response to the original poster, yes this game is awesome for being a F2P game and it's only going to get better!

I completely agree. I figure half based off of wanting to buy new Mechs and the Premium Account. I pay a base per month for my son's XBox Live, plus a game a month, and then whatever Premium content he works to buy. My online gaming is a lot cheaper than when I was a console player, minus the rig. I just think it's silly to want a AAA title for free, but of course no one who posts this stuff is willing to work for free...
It's an old argument... F2P gives you a way to experience a game on a limited basis for no monetary investment. If games like MW:O give a chance to make it perpetual, players should be grateful.

In other words, stop being weak or go away.
