Yet another update with enemies that pass through walls.
Yet another update with damage from nothing.
Newest update adds more rag-doling.
Report function for griefing no longer works.
Framerate tanks on newest planet.
Stratagem balls are still bouncing everywhere.
Aiming hellpod while dropping is still problematic.
Map functionality on city biomes still not working.
Vehicles still dropped in inaccessible locations.
Reinforcement stratagem still sometimes bugged.
Invisible hitboxes on terrain and enemies causing explosives to detonate or block paths.
Mechs getting stuck in place once landing.

I've had a good run, but the addition of more things to sell while ignoring frustrating and mission failing bugs is too much.

Get good does not help when you are pushed under the map and can't move.

UPDATE 04/05/2026

The flame turret does no damage at close range.
The flame from the mech does no damage at close range.
Gas can now blow back into players face.
Gas now slows players, bile titans and factory strider unaffected.
Unlisted patch change, charger now turns faster after attack.
Long list of enemies have had damage vs vehicles buffed (without giving numbers in the patch notes) making cars and turrets die faster.

OK playing Co-op with friends, otherwise just get Mechwarrior 4, sure its old but it has a better story and missions. (EDIT) Music is so bad I just turned it off, cannot think of the last game that I've done that for. Previous titles have music so good, I listen to it by itself. The stupid giant crates with glowing beacons are also stupid. Why didn't they add infantry like they promised?
Also, is it really so hard to make maps that you CAN'T get stuck in? The abort and restart mission buttons do not have a confirmation and are right next to the weapon group menu... (EDIT)

Review has changed after rebalance and micro transaction reversal.

Do not buy this game in its current state, you need to have multiple copies to even play single player.
it is also not compatable with the tablet/phone versions of the game.
