Very poor timing with release in my opinion; they are going to have three huge challengers now at release:
World of Tanks
HAWKEN
Planetside 2
Ven0m
Sash
NDA lifeted?
Here goes:
The graphics are very good, but some people with poor rigs complain that lower settings are not lower enough.
The economy sucks, you need to play and win 100 games to afford a dam Raven, a light mech.
You can of course buy real money and get mechs, this is where "rich" boys with their custom mechs come in but they are worst than people who actually play for fun.
I cannot belive that mechwarrior 3 had so fluid animations for the mech, the legs were actually uneven when the mech was on uneven ground, here the mech looks like a tank with legs.
There is no flush coolant, no repair bay, no coolant refil, and they respect the Battlemech story, so it's like year 3049, no MadCat, no Dashi, no clan weapons or mechs.
So yea, pirahna games has no idea how to make a mech based game to work online, they should have sticked to single player

Looks okay, Hawken is more my style.

Was playing it for a week, or rather trying to play it. Had tons of glitches, starting from everything being semi transparent to crashing to desktop every 15-20 minutes. Through whole week i managed to end maybe 5 - 6 rounds. Loved the previous games but this one so far has been completely unplayable for me.

I got accepted in Beta too and Im disappoint..
It looks dated, no dx11, to much DOF, streaming bugs and on top of that nvidia drivers suffers from low gpu usage.
I got 40-50% gpu usage most of the time with 30-45fps xD, lovely. I erased it after 5min.

So, I played other betas that ran 10x better.. Even BF3 Alpha did :|
Gameplay was kinda boring too, not impressed. Actually im not impressed with Cryengine3, the more I see it the more I think its a flop. >_<
I didnt have any CTD though..
Btw Crysis2 suffered the same, but nvidia somehow fixed it with latest 306.23 & 306.63 driver (after 1 year).. They probably wouldn't do anything if I and few others haven't reported low gpu usage drops.

I´ve played betas that were 10x worse then the MWO beta 🤓
Gameplay is limited to one gamemode right now, I´m too waiting on the additional game modes and the higher metagame level. I like the gameplay right now and enjoy it.
It´s targeted for people who want to play in a group where obviously communication and organization will earn you a win in most cases.
Not everyones cup of tea, I agree.
Matchmaking has been improved as far as I can tell so you don´t have to stomp pug groups in every single game.
Cheers

Fair enough, sorry if i came across all negative. 🙂
Maybe it will get better later.. But i kinda doubt it, its not my cup of tea 😀

LOL so me and loop29 with 670 gtx are actually having our GPU used 40% but i get constant framerate limited by refresh rate (60 fps) at max settings (yes in DX9 mode) ????
WOW when DX11 mode comes out and more optimizations, it will run butter smooth! Cry Engine 3 is amazing, the developers who make the game using it make the difference of the end game tough! I hope pihrana games don't mess this up, so close yet so far till a decent product can be out!
Missing the double heatsinks, so many mechs, so many weapons, so much animations but what is not missing is bugs, lots of bugs!
IT SUCKS WE DONT GET CLAN TECH BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO MAKE IT CANNON AND ACTUALLY HAVE THE TIMELINE IN SYNC WITH REAL LIFE! LOL REALLY??? (3049 is 2012, 3050 is 2013) WE GET CLAN TECH NEXT YEAR WTF???
