Went online to play some mech warrior last night. I must say, in all honesty, the game got polished. I don't know if they fixed the light mech lag shield bug, it looks like all small mechs were taking damage (for the few i ran into).
LOL. it's funny how so many senators are trying to find a scapegoat
HERP DERP! GUNS ARE EVIL! HERP DEPR! VIDEO GAMES ARE EVIL!
I blame dumbasses in senate who waste tax payer money.
So senators would rather blame the video game industry before they would admit these people were just mentally disturbed individuals who had manage to commit some evil shit before anyone was able to raise any alarms?
maybe instead of finding a scapegoat and pointing fingers at NRA or Video Game Industry, perhaps they should really look into how people can see the signs of someone becoming mentally unstable and what people should do if they suspect someone of being crazy.
back in the day they blamed guns. now they are blaming video games.
just out of curiosity, did this guy watch barney when he was younger? did he watch CNN? or FOX?
I mean i'm sure it was CNN/FOX that drove this guy crazy. Yup. I can play this game too senators. maybe it was the brand of toilet papers he used? I dunno, we'll never know because he's dead and we can't ask him if the flaky lint the toilet paper left on his asshole drove him to madness!
if VIDEO GAMES MADE PEOPLE VIOLENT don't you think there would be more shootings considering first person shooters sell millions of copies a year?
politicians are dumb and so are the general public. only reason why Obama hired a private sector to do research on "video games in connection with violence" is to shut up the general population of dumbasses who don't know what to think unless the government/media tells them what to think.
sad world we live in today.
i bet you 100% of these people who go in killing spree have been crazy WAY before they picked up a gun.

Officially done with it until bugs are dealt with.
Game looks very promising. But it seems like free-to-play model is hindering the game mechanics.
The past few months, the game devs have been busy implementing money making features (which doesn't surprise me since it's a free to play game and they need to add features to make money for the studios). But there are plethora of issues that are plaguing the MWO community.
1. issues with weapon mechanics. seems like some weapons are way too powerful or they are broken and not doing the full damage it's supposed to.
2. issues with coding/connection. people call the bug lag shield and there are only theories in the community that it's caused by bad coding or people with bad latency are given advantage where the hitbox is off the mech model in game. which causes light mechs (mechs with the least amount of HP) to become impossible to kill.
3. issues with over powered mechs. it seems to me that with every update, they introduce more powerful mechs. pretty much making previous mechs that were in game unused in battle field. so any mechs you invest in now, might become useless in future updates.
It's still BETA. Which means any money you spend on mechs can be a waste. It also means the game you spend money on can become something different in months to come.
Anyways, if you want to check out a fun mech battle, this game is great. But I would give it few more months before I go back.
Btw. Right now these are the most over powered set ups.
All pure Ballistic Mechs. All pure SRM6 Mechs. Light Mechs benefit from lagshield bug. Any mechs with ECM. Especially light mechs with ECM are over powered. And before you buy a mech or spend real money in game, do research on what kind of setup a mech has. You can't find that info in game, but there are some great guides in the forums that gives you what Mechs have. A Mech type can have multiple load outs, so do research before you buy!
