I was gonna go there but you beat me to it.........lol

Well i can run Crysis on ultra graphic settings and it looks unbelievable.......I may reinstall it and patch it up for now, but I am still really enjoying War.
T3 has completely changed to being fun every night & there is always a full WB or 2 going. As is T2. I am looking forward to runnin some dungons w Shado, Demon & Auger soon.

especially if everyone waits until I have already been playing for a year.

at least there is no monthly fee. You have to buy a copy of cysis, but it's pretty good anyway....

Don't fall for it! As soon as you start to play, he will be playing something else!

You can use a joystick, but the throttle is a little wonky. I have just been playing with KB and mouse because that is what the game is designed for... and it just works. W increases throttle, S brings it down. A and D turn the mech left and right, the mouses does torso twist and pitch. The different mouse buttons are your weapon groups.


It really is a great Mech game... even in it's current state. You can drive tanks and aerospace, but it definitely feels like a mech game, not just a FPS with some mechs to stomp around in. Other than good joystick support, this game has everything we expect from a mech game... and you guys are all crazy not to be playing it.

I have been playing with it a little bit today... mostly just getting my ass handed to me, but I am starting to get a feel for it.

A short first impression is... it's not perfect, but it is the best mech game available. Combat is fun, and there is a lot of room for different tactics and play-styles. Controls take a little getting used to, and joystick support is limited. I am getting the hang of piloting a mech with keyboard and mouse, but the throttle feels a little weird to me. It takes mechs a long time to stop and reverse, even for the lightest mechs.

It's fun, playable and there are a bunch of servers up. You guys gotta get in on the mech action. It's all we've got until mech5... which is still barely more than a pipe-dream.

Even in it's current state this game is a lot of fun. While we don't have a mechlab yet, there a bunch of variants for each chassis. mechs have everything you expect them to... weapon groups with limited ammo and heat management.

There isn't really a good excuse for not playing it if you are a mech fan. There is no single player, and no way to advance in a lan game by yourself... so I could use some help testing. If anyone else gets set up.. let me know. It's mech time... what are we waiting for??

No download link yet. I am downloading crysis now, so hopefully I'll be able to check it out tonight.

reviews, so far??

And here I thought it was a stand alone type thing...
