Some truth here. Some issues currently. You can snipe somewhat, but getting the kill via? Not practical. Your going to splash a lot of pieces, and maybe do plenty of damage (if you can account for lag, fire-delay and bullet travel time), but that won't bring down your opponent.

Mechs are slow, unwieldy and really... fairly low-high tech for all that. It's more true to other Mechwarrior games than Armored Core, but combat is far slower. Just be prepared. | ||

Pretty much. There are issues with pretty much every weapon except M/S PL and L, UAC5 and SRMs. Especially LRMs, the LBX10, the flamer and Gauss Rifle. Also half the maps have huge problems and the base capturing mechanic is fairly wacked at the moment, but luckily is being changed. | ||

I've been in so many betas it's just blech for me at this point. I used to take the things super serious, though, so maybe Beli is somewhat newer? They let in every person who paid for their game... their NDA is meaningless at this point get off your high horse. ((I'm not advocating breaking the NDA in serious ways, but cmon... the stuff in this thread is pennies)) However, if he is correct about some stuff being posted being wrong that's a bummer. | ||

They've made a few promises that they may have backtracked on, and some of them sounded pretty important. That the 'tech' level was supposed to evolved in accordance with Battletech Lore may or may not exist. Clans, Clan Invasion, and how that's working may not happen at all. Currently there's a very finite limit on mechs and maps that makes it boring, quick, along with a very serious lack of support for socializing/guild/clan/faction. If gameplay is unchanged from current, it will get stale quickly. | ||

They let in every person who paid for their game... their NDA is meaningless at this point get off your high horse. I realise that this guy's been temped, but come on. Sure you haven't got a horse of your own? For one thing, the buy-in nature of the MWO beta makes it about the least elite crew in the world. The point is that the game is not finished and a huge number of things are likely to change. Every single person in every game has stuff that they don't like, and in a beta, lots of people think their pet issue is gamebreaking and are willing to evangelise it. That doesn't mean they're correct. The NDA is there to stop people spreading their preferences and prejudices as gospel truth, and scaring off potential buyers. Do I think the NDA is futile now that anyone can buy in? Absolutely. Do I think they should have ironed out the issues before starting to take people's money? Absolutely. Do I think it's their own fault for starving their fans to the point where beta guys are wellsprings of information? Absolutely. And do I have my own issues with the game? Oh man, let me count the ways... But they chose to do it this way, and even if I disagree, I don't want to see the game being misrepresented. It will be a different beast when it goes live. I hope so, anyway. | ||
