I've played the Mechwarrior series since its earliest inception (back when it was Mechwarrior Crescent Hawk on DOS). The modern Mechwarrior Online is both better and worse then the original standalone Mechwarrior 1 - 4 games. On the one hand, the variety of mechs is impressive, and the online battles are spot on. On the downside, the missions can use some variety, especially since the number of maps are pretty repetitive. Where the single player game had a continuous story with a variety of terrains and enemies, the online version feels pretty static for Pickup games. I haven't had a chance to play the Faction Community Warfare missions yet, so hopefully this will change.

I do recommend this game, the battles are fun, and it's great being back in the cockpit!

Incredibly well written story and beautifully voice acted. You'll be delicately drawn into the story in the beginning, only to be brutally hit as the game wrings every emotion out of you as you desperately try to solve the mystery and hopefully save the people around you. The crazy part is that you'll love every minute of it and eagerly consume every episode like a drug addict. By the time the game finally ends, you'll be wishing you could rewind and play it again for the first time.

Regardless of whether this game is on sale or not, you should add this to your "Must Play" list of games.
