I love the Battetech franchise and finally bought this game over one year after it has been released. Although the campaign is a bit generic and flat and the missions are kind of repetitive, it is a lot of fun to run around with a few hundred tons of metal and shoot big guns. You find scrap, can start to customize the Mechs and try out different playing styles. That is the Mechwarrior experience. The biggest con about the game is the technical implementation. Quite some time has passed since the release but bugs like not executed attack animations or enemy turns taking forever are still a deal-breaker. At least the basic gameplay should work. The second technical problem is the long waiting times. I read about them in a couple of reviews and believe me: It really is that bad. Combine that with the game getting stuck forcing you to reload and you end up with a really frustrating experience. All in all I am happy I bought it when it was on sale and it was worth the money. If I had bought it for the full price I would have returned it.
