Hopefully this game will relieve me of that...

I bought into the MWO beta two days ago and it just doesn't feel like MW it also doesn't feel like a beta; it feel more like an Alpha. You can't even leg the other mechs. I wish I could buy into this beta to cleanse my pallet of the other one. Or forfeit my beta of it for this one.

[Mater]

you can leg a mech in MWO but it just slows them down they don’t want people legging to win is all
also this kind of post goes in the off topic ... it is MW but not MWT (just a friendly reminder and don’t worry about beta it will come )

[Ninjafroggie]

you are not the only person that feels that way darksteps. Massive dissapointment with everything from graphics to firing mechanics to crap FPS on all but the highest end machines to general dis-satisfaction with the engine the game is built in have all been overheard on my clan's teamspeak. Unless MASSIVE changes are made, I don't see MWO taking us away from world of tanks.

[Teranika]

I'd suggest providing your feedback about your MWO experience...over on the MWO forums.. at least there, it'll get read by the MWO team. Or, like Mater says.. the OT here, as this doesn't have anything to do with MWT.

While waiting for MWO I got antsy for a mech game ad finally got around to installing Mechwarrior Living Legends and I WAS BLOWN AWAY.

I can honestly say if your looking for the most authentic mechwarrior SIMULATION then MW LL should blow your mind.

It is rather trikky to set up though but MW LL is now my second favourite game of all time after Tribes 1.

Forget MWO and go play MW LL it really is phenomenal.

It is just a pity the MW LL community is so small but if your persistant pretty epic games get going every other day.

• This should be in OT
  
• Its still in BETA, dont rule it out as yet

I had my speculations about the game's state sometime ago. I liked the idea of the MWO experience but after a while, I just couldn't bother, I feel it would've been great if they had just spent the time and made it a single player campaign with multi player capabilities but any ways sorry to hear you feel that way.

[Transcention]

Yeh this should be in OT I didnt realize.

Still I cannot recommend MW LL highly enough if your looking for a serious Mechwarrior fix at the moment.

I've actually been jonesing pretty hard to try MWLL (I keep hearing you damn NGNG guys rave about it!) but I haven't been able to score Crysis Wars yet. Maybe this week...

[Transcention]

I absolutely love MW LL, there is a real sense of scale with the mechs.

You can jump in and out of mechs as elementals and battle armours. WITH JETPACKS...

I cant understand why whoever owns the rights to mechwarrior hasnt done the smart thing given these guys a proper budget to make MW LL into the full AAA title that it deserves to be.

You have mechs, jets, vtols, artillery, tanks, vehicles, hovercraft. Battle armour and elementals.

The game starts with you having 50k cbills and you make cash various ways till you can buy better mechs.

The progression system alone makes the game highly addictive because you have to fight for better mechs.

MW LL is just an astoundingly well crafted and addictive game.

Just be warned setting the game up is difficult and the game has reasonably steep learning curve.

They just introduced puretech gameplay into MW LL which basically means clan verse innersphere tech.


I also play on a 55inch hdtv with a massive surround sound system and the weapon effects and sound effects in general have serious balls.

When I fire my mechs weapons on my sound system its a mindnumbingly visceral experience the guns and mech footfalls actually shake the walls of my house man.

[JFlash49]

yeah i've heard all about it, i played once at my friends. its pretty cool. I just want an mechwarrior game to be very dynamic, not just fighting in mechs, but being able to exit and act as infantry, drive a tank or fly an aircraft for a change, i think slapping a bomb on some unaware mechs leg and watch it fall would be great satisfaction but i guess i'd have to wait for that. some time down the line. hmmm..i wonder if mechwarrior 3015 would have had that :\

[Transcention]

Thats the thing man. Everything you just said you can do in MW LL.

really? damn i guess i never played enough then o.O. i just played like 3 matches...i need to get it then

[Darksteps]

Sorry, didn't know where to put it...

I tried MWLL when it was released for public consumption, didn't like it then, but that's been well over 2 years ago... didn't think it was still going. I'll have to give it a try again some time.

[RonasAlabar]

Stop talking about this! You're making me try and think of sneaky ways to buy Crysis Wars and get in trouble with my wife!

[Gendou]

Given the restrictive nature of the current NDA, I can't say whether or not I'm disappointed with MechWarrior Online.

[Ruinous]

Yup, MWO *is* in a true-to-the-name 'beta', not a marketing type beta so they've still a lot of work ahead. I can well understand people being frustrated it isn't a fully fleshed out mmo, but the potential is there which is why I've no regrets with my $80 founders purchase. Cannot say more without breaking NDA, but do feel the op misses the point of the NDA.

[Transcention]

I would say the game has vastly changed since you last played it.

Satchel charges - check

Tanks - check

Battle armours with JETPACKS - check

Jets AND VTOLS - check

Crysis wars is pretty cheap considering how much game you get in MW LL.

I should warn you though setting up MW LL is a little trickky.

If you need any help setting it up just post here and ill help out.

You also have to be a little patient finding a game the community population fluctuates all the time. Weekends are the best time to play as well. But there us definitely something cool about playing a game that is a little exclusive.

[Yalk]

Been playing MWLL for 2.5 something odd years now...listen to transcention, knows what he's talk'n about

Hop over to the forums Mechlivinglegends.net, has a lot of info on installing etc...I'm the same name on the forums there and in game, feel free to say Hi or PM me and I'll help however I can

Haven't played MWO, felt the founders packs were overpriced for what they offered...and honestly forgot about this one till just now...Silly me, too many mech games in one year

The community is small but it's one of the better ones...

TeamSpeak3 is how everyone communicates, TS Outreach (forgot address) is a good place to hang out and chat it up


See you on the battlefield
