this is team-based mech combat that has been refined and tuned over a decade, resulting in an excellent product and gameplay experience (once you get used to it)

HOWEVER the issue is that this product is plain pasta in a bowl. the pasta does not get much added to it, and will not, since it is only being maintained as a labour of love for the 'hardcore' players and fans at this point, whether they are always playing or take breaks from it (it is known that this game basically breaks even for the company)

as such, i respect MWO, and find myself occasionally indulging in it for a period, but can't help wish it was more and had the opportunity to shine once again, which will unfortunately never happen now
