It has classic Mech combat and at this moment I think the balance is the best it's ever been since Closed Beta. The game is addicting and it's incredibly fun to design different Mechs. Between this and League of Legends all my competitive Multiplayer needs have been ruthlessly satisfied for many, many months. All the stuff that isn't in the game yet isn't a buzzkill to me like it appears to be for many others, and only gives me something to look forward to. Judging the game as it is currently though I figure if I am looking forward to sitting down for a couple hours on it nearly every day then it deserves a rating of ten in my book.… Expand

If one spends any time on the forums, it's easy to see that there's pretty much a civil war between the relative handful of people who actually frequent the boards. If you don't visit the forums, the game is quite fantastic. The graphics are fantastic, and the Mechs and weapons are very well done. There's a bit of a learning curve, but as a codgery old purist I like it that way.
   
   The current game needs some variety, but that's on its way. The feature roadmap looks exciting, even if there have been delays. There were some questionable development choices, such as putting Mech knockdown on the back burner, and introducing third person view in direct contravention of the community, which is why MWO doesn't get a 10. The codger in me is grumpy about these things, but we can't always get everything we want. The publisher has to make money somehow, or there wouldn't be a game at all.
   
   Overall, I rate MWO very highly, and recommend it to anyone who gets a kick out of blowing up giant robots with other giant robots.… Expand

   Ok, my first vote was influenced by my anger at the bad release. This game could be great but at this state it is not more than a fill-inOk, my first vote was influenced by my anger at the bad release. This game could be great but at this state it is not more than a fill-in game.
   
   1) graphic: not bad with directX11 perhaps better. We will see
   2) mechdesign: great work from the lead designer alex iglesias
   3) maps: insufficient and wrong scaled. you havent got the feeling of walking in a 12meter high mech.
   4) ballance: ok, not perfect but ok
   5) sound: nice
   6) music: there is no background music
   7) game modes: only 1 in 2 different variants
   8) long time motivation: none, because there is only the same game mode
   
   And now to the comment of Russ Bullock (one of the staff of PGI, the company that made this game) you can find here with a 10 point rating. What he desribes is a future vision of MWo. Not one of the features he desribes is in the game. Would they part of the game you would only find here 10/10 ratings. When will you see this features? Nobody knows. The Devs dont talk about that.
   
   Resume: Wait a few month and perhaps it will be the perfect mech game. Now it is a nice fill-in game but not worth to pay real money for it.… Expand

   What was promised to be awesome graphics are not. What was promised to be first person only is not. What was promised to be immersive is not.What was promised to be awesome graphics are not. What was promised to be first person only is not. What was promised to be immersive is not. What was promised to have an expansive meta game in a persistent BT universe is not. What was promised to be a "thinking man's shooter" is not. Even for a F2P game, it gets boring very fast.
   
   Even worse are the developers and publishers of the game. After monetizing "open beta", they refused to listen to their beta testers, even demeaning them on twitter and other sites. Deadlines pass, promises broken, and the game has devolved into which team has the larger alpha strike capability.
   
   If you want to know how this game is, read their forums.… Expand
