I like how this game had basically a development hell along with MW:O, then it had the one of the most "meh" launch both inside the fanbase and even more meh outside of it, then it BOMBED due to AI issue.... Only to rise from the ashes, become one of the most moddable and modded game on STEAM and becoming basically THE Mechwarrior experience to go, even receiving regular DLCs and expansion packs.. Great community, keep at it.

Welcome to the Inner Sphere my friend!! I have been playing this franchise since 1990, and played the tabletop Battletech since 1986...god I'm old...lol. If you want more content, there is the free to play Mechwarrior Online, it is a purely PVP game with 12 vs. 12 stomps and is MUCH faster paced then MW5, but it is allot of fun if you take the time to get used to the playstyle. The second one is Battletech by Paradox Interactive, it is basically playing the tabletop digitally! It has amazing depth, is VERY challenging and I have dumped WAY too many hours into it. Enjoy!

Nicely done. One thing I want to add for new mechwarriors is details on the weapons type and function. In general, all weapons do either splash (damages more than one component) or pinpoint (all damage to one component). It is best to pair pinpoint and splash damage on your mechs, so that you can soften enemies and strip armor before actually destroying them. Some good pairings are, medium lasers with non-artemis non-stream lrms, medium lasers with LBX (not slug) and srms with machine guns or flamers. Lastly, don't be afraid to experiment and have fun. As your dlc, salvage, and funding increases, you'll have more ways to optimize your mechs, like an axeman (melee mech) that trades its stock medium lasers for flamers and mounts an lbx in the torso. This mech has two splash weapons (axe and lbx), and the flamers for up close executions. It can hit air and ground targets, mechs and vehicles. Like i said, don't be afraid to experiment. Good luck out there mechwarriors

Really like using the joystick in this game. Just didn't like what axis the leg rot' was on vs. the torso rot', so I changed that. Used to play MW4 a ton when I was a kid. Bought this game yesterday and love it, lots of fun to play with friends on coop. Edit: Only issue I have on the joystick is the deadzone is not sensitive enough, but I can just change that in the software for the joystick itself. Shouldn't be an issue.

I know the video is months old at this point but I have to ask - did you know that when you shoot a dead leg that the damage is transferred to the corresponding side torso rather than the other leg? And then if that side torso is gone the CT? I see you try to leg a mech twice in this video where you get a CT kill rather than a leg kill because of it. I'm not sure if you didn't know that or if you're just accidentally hitting the wrong leg, which is an easy enough mistake to make in a battle. You can even see how that progression works when you leg the Blackjack - the leg goes and the remaining damage moves up to the side torso - it's real easy to miss since your lancemate gets the other leg pretty quickly after.

The dlc they provided so far are so minor and insignificant that in comparison clans would have to be a new game.

Using a joystick to play is far from ideal, but it is incredibly fun as long as you aren't using the stick twist for leg movement. Also the sensitivity of the stick needs to be cranked up way above the default setting.
@heirofaniu
@heirofaniu Жыл бұрын
What works best with the stick is to use a separate stick and throttle, and then use the rudder pedal on the throttle for leg twist. That way your left hand is the bottom half of the mech and your right hand is is the top half of the mech, more intuitive that way.

I tried it for 4 hours, but it didn’t pick me up. The core gameplay is fun but the progress is just way to slow for always having equal missions for over 1 hour. Also playing at a higher risk doesnt really pay off at all, it rather risks getting your buddy killed and losing progressed high tier weapons, which just will take you back 1 hour of time for a 5 min mission which is a stupid thing. Considering there is no other way than grinding for it again or repeatedly reset the black market until you got your stuff back. So failure in this game gets punished immensely, but you can load games to just repeat again, which makes the punishment pointless. So it lets me in the feeling playing is kinda pointless since where is the difficulty in it other than being a time consuming game with no good aspects.

I usually never go for full leg armor on any mech. You could shave off 10 points each easily. Then I wouldn't go for full head armor in this tonnage. Usually only start maxing it out above 75 tons. But even then I play around with it to maybe get 3,87 free tons up to 4 tons flat. Same goes for legs of course.
@tennoskoom2233
@tennoskoom2233 Жыл бұрын
My drop partner and I have settled for stripping the mech, maxing armor, then shaving the head to 20 and legs as needed. If it's still too heavy, we then reduce the weapons to their next lowest class eg large pulse laser to large short burst laser. Between having a reasonable trigger finger and smart weapon groupings, it usually gets the job done

Lancemates follow the weapon group order.. IE: PPC (1), LRM5 (2), M Laser x2 (3).. the AI will use the numerical order when shooting at enemies (PPC and LRM, then they move in for M Lasers or move back for more long ranged combat).. so i tend to put all my long ranged weapons on/in the first 2-3 groups (1-3)..

The thing that confused me coming to this gane from Battletech and MWO was how restrictive mech customisation was. E.g in the battletech video game a mech that has Energy weapon hardpoints was able to equip any size energy weapon so long as it fit within the critical slots. I find that much of the critical slots are wasted without this option.

I've been stuck with an old 2013 Lenovo Thinkpad for over a year now so been fairly limited on games I can play, largely 'retro' titles. I recently started playing through all the Mechwarrior games after I discovered that all of them, their DLC's and even the Mechcommander games are free to download abandonware. I've become somewhat addicted if I'm honest. I've spent the last month playing and replaying MW4 Mercenaries, the whole having your own Mercenary outfit to roam the galaxy thing... I just love it. Anyway thanks alot for the MW5 beginner overview, it's more or less cemented my decision to get the game or should I say cemented my decision of saving for a new laptop or computer that actually has the ability to play it.

tried this game out about a year ago, but it kept on freezing on my computer. Even started the game over and it froze in the same place a couple of missions in. Still wanna try it on game pass I suppose but PC is a no go for me unfortunately.

Hey there, I've been playing this about a week, and I can't tell if the mechs take damage from going through buildings lol

AFAIK any physical contact results in a bit of armor loss. So, stomping on tanks or walking through buildings will damage your mech a bit. The best thing for taking out buildings is flamers & machine guns! Try the hero Firestarter or Blackjack... Good hunting!

@@ManusDextra haha, no, i aint got money nor time to track one down. I was gonna ask if you had ideas to make the Blood Asp from that game, but i found out how (King Crab with Arm mounted Gauss, and L/R torso PPCs alongside Full Armor with 1.5 Gauss Ammo and the rest of the extra tonnage filled with Heat Sinks (Preferably Double)

I don't understand what your saying half the time. I'm just trying to figure out where to start in the extremely overwhelming task to "like" this game. Do I start with career or campaign? do the two intertwine? none of this is explained in the start of the game so when I turn to youtube for help, I get videos like this. who are they for? people that have been playing the game so long they understand your jargons? I dont get it. who will help understand how to play this extremely fragmented game?

Yeah, mechs are divided into 8 parts: 4XArms & Legs, 3XTorso, & 1XHead. Early on, it's easier to disable a mech by "legging" it. That is, destroying both legs. Later, head shots are more effective IF you have the right weapons & good aim!

the game is pretty good but the dificulty spikes are damn stupid. The dificulty level rarely matches the reality gameplay wise, there are some high level missions that are easy as hell and some low level missions that are just pure bullshit. This happens because the mission design is auto generated, not manualy design. for example i got a warzone mission with a 57 dificulty againts medium and heavy mechs but then i also got another warzone mission with a 52 dificulty againts 2 and a half lances of heavy and assault mechs, like how in the living hell is that less dificult?

Regular ammo is enough to weigh a ton. Half Ammo is enough to weigh half a ton. It's basically an option to squeak under the weight limit.

PPC's are too heavy & hot... Also unforgiving, so you need to be a really good shot. Large lasers are more efficient and productive. YMMV
