This is one of my favorite shooters of all time, It's on Steam now, and you should play it.
You've probably already heard good things about it. It's a fast-paced movement shooter with a high skill ceiling and mechs. It runs on a modified version of the Source engine and still carries over a lot of the movement mechanics from other Source games. The only things you really need to learn first are how to airstrafe and slidehop. I'd also recommend learning Grapple mechanics if being a militarized spiderman moving at the speed of fast sounds cool to you.

The maps are generally well balanced for both Pilots and Titans, and Pilots have plenty of options for dealing with Titans thanks to increased agility and thoughtful map design. Lots of room for wallriding, vertical mobility, and flat spaces to slidehop and keep your momentum up.
On top of the multiplayer, the game also has a surprisingly high quality campaign with decent gameplay, writing, and pretty amazing visual and level design.
Overall one of my only major gripes with the game is that hitscan is relatively overpowered, and makes a stationary, campy playstyle too easy to get away with.

As far as Origin goes, Origin integration means that I get to carry over my game progress and keep my Origin friends list intact, so really anyone complaining about it can fellate my greasy ♥♥♥♥ and balls. I can understand wishing it were optional, though.
Also I haven't tried installing the Japanese voice patch[syampuuh.github.io] yet, but the game directory seems mostly identical to the Origin version so my bet is it still works fine. Trust me, it's good.

This review ended up being a bit longer than I originally intended it to be. But yeah, play game, it is good.
