Summary: Mc2 is a great step forward
Review: Well after reading the above review, I thought I would post my own OPINION of the game. First of all, the Mc2 design team has taken many steps in the right direction with their new game. The future of gameplay does not lie within the 2d world. The future of gameplay lies within a 3d world (remember, wider is better = Commercials never lie!). Second of all: this last person had a "beta" of a game. This game has not even been released yet. I also had a "beta" of the game. The key word here is "BETA". I dont know if this person had the newest release of the beta, but I know I did. The bugs and framerates that the above reviewer mentioned are almost if not already eliminated throughout the game. The final build (the gold of the game) will show that many of the previous issues with the game have been eliminated or fixed. This game is awesome. It is an awesome step forward from MC1 and MCG. There are HUGE improvements in gameplay, strategy, and the diversity of factions (IE there are 4 factions within multiplayer and 3 factions that are represented in Single player). No longer will multiplayer just be a huge battles between mechs, where the luck of the shot is a huge matter. This feature is no longer supported. What IS supported are in-game features that allow a GOOD mechcommander to utilize needed support within a battle. I would suggest trying the game out for yourself, instead of relying on the reviews of a person who does NOT have the final version of the game.

Summary: Gotta Love Security Checks
Review: Well, I was looking forward to this game a great deal because I have enjoyed the first game alot. Unfortunatly due to a bug in the Microsoft security check to make sure that the cd is in the drive, I cannot play the game at all. They give no support on their web site and there is no sign of it being fixed. Don't buy this game unless you want an expensive coaster.

Summary: for those of you people who don't know about patches
Review: you can get a patch from gamecopyworld.com and then the game runs fine. one of the very few drawbacks is thae fact that it takes ages to load but other than that it's an awsome game. P.S. you can get hacks for it at cheatchannel.com

Summary: I'm writing my own Beta Review...
Review: [....] Bassically [...] points were as follows: a) It doesn't include his favourite 'Mechs and he thinks the Clan Mechs are made up. b) It's a 3D engine, and "all 3D strategy games [stink], 2D is much better" c) You can bring in reinforcements by air d) "It's a mix between MW4 and Force Commander" I'll go through each one first: A). The Mechs in are very good. Each of them has a distinctive purpose and feel. There aren't many Clan Mechs 'cause the game takes place in the Inner Sphere and all the Clan Mechs are real, not made up. I don't know where that guy was coming from. B). It's a very good 3D system incorporating true LOS and very nice looking terrain and buildings. The camera system is as good as that from Homeworlds. 3D RTS's do not [stink]. Homeworld, Earth 2150 and Ground Control are all far superior games to most 2D games. Mechcommander 2 can join those ranks as the 3D system truly works well. C). The reinforcements are very useful and add an element to the game. There were sensor probes, camera drones and artillery in the old game, so I don't really know what the other reviewer was on when they made that comment. The addition of Karnov Salvage Craft and the drop in repair truck makes the game more fun and gives you greater tactical flexibility. D). The game is NOT a mix between FC and MC. While I was happy (not extatic) about FC, it did have some major flaws (not being able to scroll diagonally was one of them). FC [stinks] big time compared to MC. MC is nothing like it. What else...The acting is good. Much better than Mechwarrior 4 (not that that'd be hard). They help the story move along and you blieve who they are (ie. overbearing people are meant to be over bearing, outspoken people do get outspoken). Also, the game addresses many of the things mission from the first game. You can save and load missions whilst IN a mission. There is no black shroud, instead true LOS and many other improvements. The graphics are amazing and altough the Mechs are a little blocky (to cut down on poly count) the game still looks great. Sound effects are beefy, with Autocannons and PPCs sounding brillient. My only gripe is that Fixed Arty pieces have too shorter range and I cannot find a use for them except in base defence. It's a great game, and I can't wait to get something more "stable" than the beta. The game truly captures the "BattleTech" feel and holds you in right until the very end. BYE
