I had really high hopes for this game(long time original MechWarrior series fan), but after a couple of years in beta with almost no new content, my hype died.It was a bummer that instead of adding new mechs, they added champion/hero mechs(which are basically the same mechs with different skin and loadouts) for cash - it's on the borderline of P2W, but I wouldn't call it that, it's more of a grey area.

However I still recommend this game, it's one of the best out there if you want a more slow paced and tactical shooter. There are tons of weapon combinations and modules and last time I checked, they were all available for in game currency. There is also something very satisfying in breaking an arm off the enemy mech with your lazors.

Honorable mention: Hawken, another mech game, more fast paced(with active dodging!), the maps are one of the best maps I've ever encountered in any game, both in strategic and artistic value. A must stry, imo, if you're into mechs.

Both of the games have their merits and should be given a try.

I never like hawken, but with the 52 chassis available for cbills now, it's definitely improved since the first year and a half of development, the real challenge is how they're trying to make clan mechs "balanced" at the moment

Well hello.

I honestly don't even know what to say at this point

Don't say anything yet, the kids are still asleep.

COMPLETELY ERECT!

Do missiles still cause heat?
That **** pisses me off and makes zero sense

#9 to #8 - battletechmech [OP]ONLINE (12/11/2015) [-]

missiles still cause heat, since canonically they do I don't see a point to complain about it. LRMs and SRMs in battletech are described as "Primitive and Inefficient even by todays standards", which explains not only why each missile costs only about $5000 bucks, and possibly the reason why they still generate heat, somehow.

#10 to #9 - alalalalal (12/11/2015) [-]

SRM's make sense since all of that heat is pretty much going into the chest, but for the LRM's on shoulder mounted pods?

#11 to #10 - battletechmech [OP]ONLINE (12/11/2015) [-]

Well, I suppose just think about 20+ 5kg tubes fire enough propellant directly against the back of the catapult pod (It doesn't have a vent for the gas to escape through, the "ear" is taking all the heat)
