MechWarrior Online
fucking mechs you shoot things is awesome they go boom boom you use trial mechs at first then you get money to buy your own mech and its terrible because you think flamers actually do things when they do fuck all they suck so you stick 4 medium lasers on and go pew pew pew pew pew and is awesome.
Uh, yeah. Mechs. They're a thing. MechWarrior. It's a series (owned by microsoft boooooo). Anyway, in MechWarrior Online, you can customise your mechs with all the stuff from the MechWarrior series, and then it's CS style 12v12. No respawning, capture enemy base or kill all enemy to win. Oh, and you have giant Mechs with a couple of ER PPCs and Medium Pulse Lasers and all good stuffs. And AMS which only shoots down half the friggin missiles. Also it's funny when people try and fire LRMs at you from close range and they don't activate properly and bounce off your cockpit. Also everything costs twice as much as it sells for. You waste all your money trying things out. It fucking sucks.

I'm always interested in piloting things. But MWO looks a little slow for my tastes, and by a little I mean alot.
As an alternative I've played a lot of hawken, which is a lot of fun and also free. But I'm not really a fan of where it seems to be headed. But if you're into this kind of thing I recommend trying that out too. What's interesting is that the MWO community is apparently in "open revolt". There are a lot of people that are very upset due to the addition of a few new features the devs stated they'd never implement. It also seems the devs aren't interacting well with the community at all. Trying to hush things up, and deleting a lot of unfavorable posts. Apparently there's this dealio they do where the community can nominate questions and concerns, and then vote on which ones they'd most like the devs to comment on. But it doesn't matter how many votes a question gets, the devs cherry pick comfortable questions, and out right delete ones they aren't comfortable with from the voting process. Things like that are not shaping up to look so good for MWO and it's devs. I'll be interested to see how it all pans out. Regardless of all that, too slow, not interested.

Oh. Didn't know that.
Anyway, the slowness, I don't really get. It's slightly slower than Hawken in general, but you go in general 40 - 160 KPH based on engine and mech base. The best thing I have about it is that it is more 'complicated'. You can aim your arms, torso and legs independently (or you can make your arms always face the same place as your torso, which makes it easier). You can choose exactly what throttle to apply and what speed, you can use B to open a tactical map, get command to add tactics to the map, and you can completely change your mechs weaponry so long as it uses the hardpoints (set places for different types of weaponry - ballistic, energy, missile, or anti-missile system), and awesome stuff. Only problem is that for some reason I now get a third of the money per match than I got yesterday. Also NS2 is free weekend so I'll be playing that for the next 3 days. EDIT: If your kinda interested in the mech building or if you want to make a mech you really need to use http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab before you make it ingame, because you can't un-sell stuff and it sells for half the cost you buy it for which is the most retarded thing in a game like this. D: 2ND EDIT: And I'm not playing NS2 because it runs at 12 FPS on lowest settings and 800x600 on my £500 PC. Fucking bullshit. (And it takes 2 full minutes to load into a game. And I thought console load times were bad...) 3RD EDIT: And crashes if I alt-tab.

Here's a video of some guy pooping on dummies in hawken: It's not always at a breakneck pace, but there are a lot of bursts of high speed. And the DM is more interactive and at a higher pace. The DM is kind of like what you would expect out of a fortress or quake title, just obviously much slower.

I tried this game. Started on a night-time map. Couldn't see anything. Turned up gamma and brightness all the way, still could barely see anything (plus what I could see looked terrible due to screwy gamma settings). I stopped playing.
