I wont go into much of the Vanilla gameplay as it is all said about it - in itself it is a very enjoyable game worth the money especially on sale. Oposite to what is said about the vanilla game Mods open up a new dimension for gameplay with Tanks and Aircraft becoming available for control as well as enabling multiple lance gameplay direct under your control or as AI allies/opponents. Battletech Exteneded 3025 Commanders Edition Mod allows the campaign game while offering i.e. multiple lance gameplay. Roguetech is the Mod to go for Career Mode and adds vehicle and airccraft combat plus even more detailed damage models and all kind of weaponry. There are to many mods out to mention them even in part but if you Google for them Nexusmod, or Mods in Exile or Steam will have them to enhance your gameplay way beyond the limits of the vanilla game incuding Clan Era Mechs and Weapons. This game has almost infinite replayability!
Mechwarrior is more alive than ever with the content the latest patch additionally adds to the DLCs. Not only playing the Rasalhague Storyline but also meeting famous and nefarious Mercs and Units on the battlefield in ever better combat. Cu-Op is a great way to enjoy the game with friends - its Crossplattform and only the Host needs the DLCs to have all on the Co-Op Group enjoy them as long they play together. The Mod scene is thriving and adds all sort of content and flavor to the game like Biomes, Pilot Traits, Mechs, Weapons, Missions, Graphics, Sound, alternative Pilot AI amnd even the Clans. This game has not so much value and reaplyability it is absolutely worth the buy! And another fully fledged Mechwarrior game is currently in the making according to insider sources - announcement pending. Mechwarrior is better and more alive than ever!
I dont need add to the other Reviews - Melee is quite a nice change of pace and can help you out of a tight situations. Though it can not be understated how much the many Mods add to the game: Merctech (makes it as much a harcore sim as you want it to be) Piratetech (all sorts of underdog/exotic Mechs and Weapons) Hellfire and Brimstone (Weapons effects like Missile Trails etc.) TTrulezAI (Improved AI with different acting Roles) Coyotes Missiones (a whole variety of new missiontypes) vonBiomes (new and improved biomes/visuals) Pilot Overhaul (manage your Pilots each getting experince and quirks fit for different Mechs/Roles) There are many more that even add Clantech or Soundeffects the game. Google for it and you will find it so do not miss out on them - they greatly enhance your gaming experience and make it even more worth a buy!
