lasers won't even penetrate my navigational deflectors :<

there's some weird inaccuracies to shooting

maybe that's part of them fixing the game

also i want to turn off the smug flavor dialog but it won't let me

the funniest part is how violently they fall over themselves to be orthodox for the mechwarrior crowd

even though its clear that know how totally fucked it is

and man those hips look like sold bars that just bend somehow; that's TRADITIONAL BTECH ENGINEERING :V

I like the blatantly copied Assault Suits or Macross style arm shield that probably does nothing.

look they've had like eight games to actually implement melee combat

I will forgive decades of terrible game design if they just let me punch buildings

sorry Dan, we're not allowed to research the reason why these robots have so many missiles cuz then we'd find out that has nothing to do with how much damage they do but the effectiveness of anti missile defenses

or why the Dougram has a six tube launcher because it's a goddamn rocket pod

sorry dude they need to fire that many semiguided missiles to increase their odds of hitting the tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny weaknesses in the otherwise impervious amour ok

The only question I have about MW-Online is :

Will they manage to make a game about giant robots fighting against each others more borings than World of Tanks ? That'd be quit a feat right here...
No.

dude nerds love wot for some bizarre reason

i'd expect mwo to be world of mechs, only with heaps of really strange stuff that exists solely to pander to retentives from 1987

but its a good sign that they said turn based rules simply ill not work lol
