Fast forward many years later and I would still occasionally see news about MechWarrior: Living Legends on social media, but I always passed it off as such a tiny corner of the wider BattleTech community that it was hardly worth mentioning. I hope this article–and perhaps more like it–will make amends for my transgression.

And as I’ve found out over the years, I was wrong about many things, and certainly wrong about MechWarrior: Living Legends. It is a game worthy of my attention and the attention of any BattleTech fan looking for a different kind of BattleTech experience.

Black, your devotion to this game is truly admirable. I've only briefly tried it in the past, but maybe it's time to give it a lengthier shot.

You know, in some deranged way it is true. Before the WoR, the Clan way of warfare was essentially less destructive and far more civilized if we follow the ingame lore.

Then of course it went weird because everyone needs to warcrime everyone

The only ones who are allowed to warcrime spheroids are other spheroids.

I love what they did with the Marauder. Worked off MWO's version (which was pretty decent) except it now has a proper dorsal gun. Some of those variants are SICK. Kind of wish they had a jumpy variant.

I like their Kodiak, kind of wish they had made a variant with MASC.

Sunder could use a bit of spiffing-up on the look, but variants look solid.

I love the fact that aerotech is a legit threat to Mechs in MWLL. Also the whole being a flying dispenser of HPPC death. HPPCs are meaty macho.

That 1 fps :| Cool game though. I gave up because I saw that it was going to take time to get good at it and I wasn't sure it was worth the effort. But the videos make me think twice.

I AM SO ANGRY AT THIS GAME.

On one hand it IS great and deserves more visibility. By all means give it a try, it is the real living motherfucking Battletech experience, and as a free game has more polish and fun than most 60bucks AAA trash.
On the other it is like the developers and the small existing community are doing everything they can to spoil the fun for anybody who doesn't hang on their discords or whatever trash they are hidding behind.

I have so many memorable moments, some of the best teamfights I have ever seen, some maps so beautiful I was in tears of awe and love when I discharged my 5 HSL in the back of a Ryoken, and so many times I just quit because other maps are utter trash, or some idiot is busy spamming those ludicrous aircrafts with enough armor to adsorb several AC20 hits, or simply a team member decide to trash a newcomer because he hasn't been playing the game non stop for years.

The problem is that nerds are needed to make games, but nerds are nerds :(

Aerofucks can be annoying and imo some should be toned down in armor, especially considering missiles don't track air that well. As for grognards, grognards will grog, especially in such a small incestuous community.
