32:14 Planetside had Mechs, core expansion and it was awesome

PGI are a bunch of gay artist, and we all know how well those guys make games... or movies... or anything at all.

Endor and D’Qar are easily the worst maps of SFA cuz of all the debris

Still fun, still stagnant, but fun!

out of .... way too many games, this mode either would crash when tryna leave the que was seemingly locked into frankly didn't even know there was a planet control element to it not that it seems to matter

mechwarrior 2 mercs post desolation isolationationalsm is probably the best... it has this vibe of...everyones been destroyed and you're just rummaging the scraps thats left. and its glorious

get you some mechwarrior 2 mercenaries

I just want MW4 ANIMATIONS and mechs with MW5 graphics. And for the love of god gimme the sweet looking Mad Dog/Vulture form MW4 Vengeance intro cinematic - perfect Mechwarrior recipe right there.

I think you talked me out of buying the DLC and playing again.

This might be a video worth revisiting, as MWO factions playercount has skyrocketed in the past month or so due to an in-game event and community outreach effort.

Well shit. I started playing again this week and can say for sure that this article is still spot on.

The thing I like is the multiple factions and the galaxy access we have. Story wise - I agree. We can not form a base emotional attachment to the MC as it supposed to be. This is due to lack of anything we can connect - we can’t self insert. While in vengeance we couldn’t either, it was the actors who sold the story of why we should be committed. I really hate the place where we spawn in the hanger and force us to walk to our XO…especially when THATS all we can explore in our dropship. Hell in drops ships I thought we’d get those circular ones…

BF series traded its uniqueness and identity for simplified CoDified bigger player bases, bigger sales.

Project Reality but for zoomers.

I miss Heavy Gear 2. That was the best mech game ever made.

Most of their non-fighter designs are only designed for a look, not for actual function. If their universe was real many of their ships would never be bought by anyone. There is so much dead space in some of their designs that it boggles the mind. What good do huge wings do on a lot of their stuff when there are not a large number of weapons mounts on them? The C-1 line is a perfect example, the Corsair another. An intelligent and functional design would try to lose as much mass as possible, and not weigh down the ship with useless frivolities.

Dude, what a great video!!!

the game become really unfair to play. all users had basically higher quality gear, would alpha you from a mile away, no scaling, no way for a new player or casual player to climb the ranks and resources. and I got the founder supporter pack.

Really good video

The map size and structure was the biggest deal breaker for me back in the early days of MWO. I think they need to add more mobility mechanics to make flanking easier. Maybe a dropship mechanic that allows you to load up and fly around at the cost of being a large target and potentially all going down with the ship.

Sorry the game is still broken as of 2024 June 11.

I’m totally committed to state a letter writing campaign to get the copilot seat functioning as it should. CIG says it wants crew play. But total skipped over the copilot seat

This is master class content creation. Goes to show that talent doesn't always get rewarded on youtube, as in life. Another aspect of the game I find disappointing, well, two aspects, is the lack of a campaign (either solo or co-op) and the extreme learning curve. I played quite a lot when the game first released, but since then I've attained 3 degrees and am busy with a career as a weapon systems engineer for BAE. I don't have an awful lot of time between work and family life, so jumping in to the game in its current state is often overwhelming. I spend more time in the menu system than in battle, and I'm pitched against players who live and breath the game. I know its a "get gud" issue for me, but I don't have time to get anywhere near as good as what I need to be to have fun in the game. I've been gaming since the 80's, even regularly placed first in the Star Citizen leaderboards circa 2.6 thru 3.0 builds so I'm not lacking in general gaming skill, but the depth and complexity of MWO (which is a good thing, btw) is also a curse for people who want to play more casually. I can't imagine someone who has never played the tabletop battletech games in the 80's and 90's, and who didn't get to playing MW2, MW3 et al, trying to get to grips with this game in any kind of hurry. The complexity is great, but it's also a curse, and would drive away a lot of potential new players who just want to have some fun with the few hours a week they have spare.

Imagine having to ambush the enemies assaultlance with nothing but urbies because your own team invested heavily into artillery in the last match and now has to save up C-Bills for the wider campaign. But what the enemy doesn´t know is that one of your lances was swapped out for a lance of the allied Big Mac and the next inbound leopard wave will drop off 4 T-Bolts

2024 and players add more then 20 mod for this game every year 😂

we are still.playing!! The Other Guys-US-Infantry server, Lost soldiers, Weekend warriors!!! FTW

A year late but TH-cam recommended me this probably because I've started getting back into MW 5 with a custom careers run. As someone trying to do a solo mech start where you slowly build up your mechs its' a nightmare but the difficulty pumps the game up quite a bit (as long as its' not assassination missions.) Also fun to see Mongooses, Stingers, and Wasps with modding instead of the usual Locust and Jenner. I don't know, I'm just starved for mech games every once in a while. I'm glad AC 6 came out but I still like the slow lumbering Mechs (I find the MTs more interesting than the core frames.) Phantom Brigade was probably my favourite of last year, though.

MW5 was built to play with friends. I played it by myself on PC when it first came out. But once it came out on console is when I really hit my stride. The fun I've had trolling with buds is unparalleled. However, that's a problem. Truth be told, at least we got one cause it wasn't looking good for a long time.

It always surprises me how much love this game has been getting recently. With all the new weapons and what not. I started playing in 2016ish and am having a blast with everything that's been added over the last year or two.

I think a game mode that could be fun and would fit into the triangle idea potentially. Maybe something like a LZ control. Game starts with scout mechs only. (Could even have them being the only ones that can capture LZ) And scattered around the match are LZ areas tied to specific weight classes. So the assault mechs won't spawn right away. Could give the un spawned mechs different things to do before deployment (air strikes/Uav recon ECT.) would make for a more strategic game I think.

RSI should put more focus on making the story or the Econ system to motative players to play together. Most of the player just play alone, and RSI keeps making the muti-crew ship even the co-pilot seat not full develop. What the points.....and they just announce for another drake cargo ship.

I was bummed to see that nothing worked in the newest patch. I can't even turn on the screens in the co-pilot seat anymore. I'm hoping that means a substantial overhaul, but it sort of sucks to have nothing else to even pretend to do now when running with a crew. In fact, because you need to be seated to be g-safe, and you can't even manage inventory while seated, it's actively punishing your attempt at teamwork. It's like they implemented the punishments before ensuring the rest of the platform functions.

Curious just watched your mech5 vid, any intent to go over failout 4? You made comparisons… I see them as very similar games in emptiness and lack of care.

Battletech fandom is but a wallet on legs, easily available to pick to PGI. Im sure we could have had an ok experience, but PGI mid development decided to trash all there work, to take the Epic games money, having to restart the thing from the ground up. What we got was half ass… the treatment of those that dared to buy the epic games exclusive then got treated like the founders they were… For being th only ones to invest in the product you got 0 updates for a year and no new DLC until it released on steam… wow what an exclusive. Never forget never forgive, PGI doesn’t deserve a cent. I have no intent to by clans until it is 2 years down the line. But hey may pirate it before hand. And yes clans likely will bw the mechworior 5 we deserved…. But its built upon a mass grave and our funding our blood, our sweat our tears!

My friend got a Cutblack black and we can't seem to Desactivate Vtol mode in PU. It seem like it could be a bug link to Copilot seat as he was messing with it a little bit. The LandGear icone keep blinking so we wonder if that what could coz the bug. the landing gears overall seem to act weird ( disapear when approching ground, being half deplyed when landed when they suppose to be out etc.... If anyone have any idea what it could be, you'll be our Hero for ever

PGI please take note.

Haha i have this, but on bad design, my starrunner take the cake, its nothing but bad design except for the looks.

I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, I want Star Citizen to be a good and complete (honestly just complete) game. On the other hand, I want to continue to listen to you make excellent criticism about Star Citizen.

When he says no mechwarrior games has made it this great he means ones you have to pay for... Mechwarrior living Legends is better and more fun then MWO, it's fall back is exposure .. no one knows about it.. if thousands of people suddenly showed up at the same time it wouldn't be as empty as it is because more people makes it more fun.. when there's 32 players in a single server the battles are I credible with mechs , tanks, artillery ,vtols and aerospace all being piloted by actual players NOT. Call of duty call in strikes.. you are actually in a longtom.. or are doing a bombing strike in a shiva ... Search MWLL and try it out its free and the players helpful

Some ships let a seocndary seats use missiles, I remember trying it with the Corsair when it came out. We can cross fingers for at least some of new stuff with updated MFD pass

Not defending CIG here but afaik the MFDs and most of the HUD is basically on their last legs, they're about to get replaced, they're incredibly unlikely to fix any issues with them. I agree this stuff is really annoying though.

Good video.

manz really keeping up that thumbnail identity all this time, its rare i immediately recognize videos from such a small creator.

I've always been of the feeling that besides what you listed there, CIG needs to come up with a lot more for copilots to fill these seats. Not only are a lot of those tasks very intermittent and short, and confident pilots will feel no need to delegate many of them, but there's also 'multiple' copilot seats in so many ships. Certain tasks deserve more detailed displays for copilots because they can concentrate on things the pilot can't. They could get a way better radar display that they can manipulate and pin targets for the pilot to really improve the situational awareness of the ship, becoming the combat commander. They could get power management that is better than the simple power triangle that if they do it right you get full power in two systems at once. Maybe their tools to read and keep track of ping data from beyond radar range is much better. Throw everything at these seats, they really need it.

I hope one day Star Citizen will achieve even a portion of the enjoyment derived from multi-crew fighters in DCS. Splashing a bandit that a real person detected, spiked, and fired upon from the backseat of your F-14 is one of the most satisfying experiences in gaming.

So what IS this game good at 😭

You absolutely nailed. BF3 was a huge disappointment. Initially, I thought it was solely because of the maps because the ones the game launched with were absolutely horrible. 6 of them were a cqc corridor clusterf*** and the remaining 3, according to DICE, "large maps" still had all objectives within 15 second of sprint time of one another. Operation Firestorm and Kharg Island had all these really bland and repetitive buildings. Just awful all around. Luckily, the DLC called Armored Kill came a year later. It was dedicated to the fans of the series and launched with 4 properly large maps that finally enabled the old school battlefield gameplay. The fact that only 4 maps out of 25 were like this says a lot about the new audience DICE was targeting with the game. Unfortunately, after playing the DLC, I realized that BF3 completely breaks down on large maps, the larger the worse, precisely because of the 3D spotting problem you described. Because as soon as you get spotted, you get shot by 20 snipers and shelled by all the vehicles with a line of sight, even jets and the AC-130. Furthermore, player learn to spam the spot button at anything suspicious, moving vegetation, but especially commonly known positions where enemy players could be hiding. It completely destroys the stealth gameplay or any attempt of trying to blend with the environment. On the other hand, it completely destroys the enjoyment of trying to spot enemies in the environment with your own eyes. So everybody loses. It even sucks all the fun out of shooting. Like where's the fun in shooting at triangles, as opposed to real enemies. As if the hit indicator wasn't enough of a crutch. Battlefield 2 wasn't perfect, but it was a great foundation for something that DICE could've continued to iterate upon. All its features had a lot of room for an improvement and the community spent years making suggestions to DICE that all fell an deaf ears because DICE decided to scrap it all and start anew with something that can almost be described as a mindless run'n'gun CoD clone with vehicles. Objectively, BF2142 is still the most well-thought, designed and feature-rich game in the series. It doesn't feel clunky to me at all, partly because compared to BF2, it has toned down weapon deviation and everything feels well balanced and requires good effort and skill to use. Agreed with everything you said about Battlefield V. It was a nice breath of fresh air that also has the most balanced weapons in my opinion. DICE is unable to figure out the relation between bullet spread and rate of fire, hence no bullet spread and recoil works much better for the overall balance.

Man, you've nailed it on EVERYTHING. God bless you and thank you for putting into words what I've been feeling about this topic for so many years. BF2 best shooter ever.

RSI hire this guy

wow, I never expected to find someone putting to words so well my feelings on Battlefield. My first BF was also BF2, back in 2007. No other game has replicated the teamwork experience of Battlefield 2. "Fights felt more digestible and solvable" Absolutely. This is the one thing I miss from BF2. Having played nearly all BFs (the only one I didn't purchase was BF2042 because I just could not support it.) to me the closest recent game that ever came close to BF2 was BFV, surprisingly it was slower and had more quiet time than BF1 ( a WWI game) which had so many clusterf### moments, chokepoints, it was like playing on a permanent michael bay movie. BFV was slower paced and had more focus on teamwork and you could feel a more tactical segmented move through the map, like you could actually apply some sort of tactical defending/atacking and like what you and your squad were doing mattered. This depended on the maps and on the games ofc, largely there was still a lot of fast-paced caos. Regarding gameplay pace it's like battlefield became COD, just in bigger maps with vehicles. I prefered BF3 to BF4 because BF4 was just way more chaotic, with less destruction ("lelvolution" was a massive marketing gimmick), and all vehicles felt discardable and made of paper. I remember in BF2 once you would get support from a vehicle, an armored vehicle or a plane would fly overhead, you would feel relieved "uff finally we got some support!", or if it was the other way around, your team would feel genuine fear. In modern BFs games vehicles are so plenty and easy to take out they are almost on par with infantry.
