Hey'yall

I've like mech games since the MW2's and I've been with the mech's since that. After MW4 mercs I played a bit MWLL but as it was only a mod, it didn't feel right in the end but then the long wait ended as MWO came. At least I do really hope so. I played in closed beta, but didn't involve myself much in the discussions etc. that went on as I waited for the testers and devs to be more fanatical than me about battletech universe to get things right.

I know this will be a matter that has been discussed in the forums at least to a point, but I'm going to mention it again.

The state of game as it is now, is that the matches we get are way too "simple". Too WoT -like. I know they have a working concept and it will work with mech's, but only to a point. Random matches can only give satisfaction to a certain level, but there's just so much you could do with this game that would give much more. This idea might also come from the fact that I've played WoT a lot. So those who haven't, to them this concept will be somewhat new.

15minute matches are great in terms that you don't necessarily need to spend hours playing, you can have breaks and do other stuff in the meantime, but there could also be something bigger. Like battlegrounds, bigger maps, operations for a certain objective, buildings you could interact with and so on. To give this game the merc feeling and do it right. Small "campaigns" and those who have the time to spend at the computer, could choose to participate in these.

As the game is still in a beta phase, I know there'll be a lot of improvement to be had, but the state the game has been for so long has started to worry me a bit. Please let this not be another WoT -kind of F2P game, but something more, as it will be possible.

So now, there it is ... the stuff that has been bothering me for a long time. I think my rant is done.

If there are plans for to make this game something more, disregard this post, but if not, please consider.
