The actual gameplay is more or less the same as MWO, for the most part, and it makes up for the dumb AI with wave after wave of mechs and tanks and VTOLs. Maybe it's because you have such a light mech, but it doesn't feel very "clanky" yet. That said, something about the early gameplay for MW5 seems.different. More mission variety would be good.īought Battletech when it was on sale recently, and I just saw that Mechwarrior 5: Mercs is on XBox Game Pass. There needs to be a reason to use medium/lights late game, like missions involving escorting fast convoys, or catching fast convoys or something. The end game with assaults just becomes a gauss/ppc fest involving slow moving turrets. The mid game when you have a mix of mediums/heavies is the most fun.

There's a good game in there somewhere, but definitely needs more mod help or developer polish. So I beat the game, I'd probably rate the game a 2/5. Glad I didn't pay anything to play it (yay xbox gamepass), I had this game preordered until the Epic fiasco and got my refund at that time. Its like they just played battletech for 30 minutes then copied it and put a 3d mech fighting engine into the game, again typical PGI.Īnyway, that's my 2 cents. Where the **** is my radar, why do things only show up when I visually spot them, what kind of dumbass detection system is this. The locust that I completely vaporized to the point where it only has an arm and leg left does show up though.ħ. I head shot an awesome, does it show up in the salvage at the end, nope (not that I would have enough salvage rights to pick it anyway). Black markets are so pointless, they are always filled with crap weapons.Ħ.
Extraction, why is this still a thing, usually the extraction point is just far enough to be annoying but not far enough to change the mission in a big way.ĥ. The map is filled with useless stars with nothing on them.Ĥ. Missions are very repetitive and lack polish, some of them bug out (like killing the assassination target from too far away).ģ. Annoying, and can be deadly if you ignore them for too long, but super nimble and pop out of nowhere all the time.Ģ. Too many frigging vehicles, I want to fight mech on mech, not mech on 1 bajillion vehicles VTOLs in particular are basically the cliff racers of MW5 with their dual ac10s, quad ac2s or lrm40s. There are a lot of game play annoyances in mw5 that detracts from it being fun. As soon as a fight happens the two in the front start to block you in and the guy in the back shoots you in the back. The main problem is the default lance formation is in the shape of a Y with you in the middle.
