When this game first released it would have been a 3/5 when compared to past MechWarrior titles. With the continued production of DLC and an extremely active modding community it is starting to surpass those titles. Nexus has mods for everything that may bother you with the core game. Better AI, better pilot options, more mechs, expanded weapon systems, better mech lab, new biomes and even new mission types. Many of the mods are lore accurate which imo makes for an even more satisfying experience. If you buy this, expect to mod it.
