I am glad I waited for a sale to try this game, or I'd have been even more disappointed than I am now. I've played the Mechwarrior, Mechcommander, and Battletech games (including tabletop with miniatures) since Crescent Hawk's Inception, and this rendition appears, even after all of the bug-fixes, to be the worst of the lot. I actually am a fan of turn-based tactical games, so I thought this one would be a joy. As I was downloading the files, I noticed there was no manual, so I thought "The game must be pretty intuitive to learn. Kewl!" Maybe I expected too much. Gameplay is slow, with a lot of lag time spent waiting for things to load, the interface is poor (and poorly explained), and the game has little or no support from the developers. I find myself spending more time searching online for second and third party advice to learn how to navigate a game, than actually playing the game. The developers should have invested some resources in creating, at the very least, a tutorial manual. On the plus side, I thought the game was visually pleasing. I was so disappointed and frustrated with this package, that I went back to the earlier games, with simpler graphics, and have begun playing them again. With great satisfaction.
