The beta is pretty interesting, upgrades make the difference and are rewarding, and in general it's a good game worth trying, however: - I like MW3 mechanics more - especially parts related to running into objects - MW3 animation was much better - Many weapons are useless - Even if a weapon looks interesting, the map design almost always forces LRM -> short range lasers scenario - There's a lot of camping as the leading player (spotter) is likely to get owned with LRM's - There is a lot of grinding - and I don't like grind-or-pay-a-lot mechanics - and you have to pay a lot if you want to avoid grinding (good single mech can cost you even >$30) - some grinding mechanics make no sense, eg get 3 types of the same mech, grind the sh#t out of them in order to unlock traits for only 1 version you're going to play - you have to play a lot with trial uncostumizable mechs in order to afford the 1st mech - the rating system is kinda unrewarding (not much difference between playing well and just leaving the desk) - and there's no kickvote or idling penalty - even small lags make targeting weak spots a nightmare - it feels a bit like World of Tanks, just with harder to kill targets

sounds like WOT with different vehicles, I would have played this but already have to much invested in WOT.

Playing is all about fun. You can always check it out without paying and decide what to do next.
