i'm sick of roguetech's loading times. how are advanced's compared to them?
I would advice against playing the campaign, especially without quality-of-life mods, such as those that reduce load times. The writing is tailor made to be bad and to piss you off, even if you don't give a fuck about the lore, as I do, because of the blatant contrivances made to ensure certain plot situations happen, sometimes at the expense of gameplay.

The real lore or the HBS tranny shit?The lore is amazing - I've checked out a few vids. I've obviously missed out on a huge thing all these years.

Then, yes, my friend, you have missed a massive thing.The real lore or the HBS tranny shit?The lore is amazing - I've checked out a few vids. I've obviously missed out on a huge thing all these years.
The real lore. I've watched Razorfist's lore dump and a few others.
A little bit in the MW2 Mercs campaign. It seems to be quite buggy. The AI doesn't seem to go to certain waypoints, for example, which really bones you when you are expecting your buddy to help you out as in the original MW2 Mercs. The weapons ranges are also all over the place, with SRMs almost the range of Large Lasers, etc. Lastly, when you purchase extra drop weight, it isn't permanent. It resets the next mission. The drop weight doesn't seem to increase as the campaign progresses, so you are stuck with the starting 25-30 tons unless you want to spend your entire savings and more buying extra drop weight every mission.Anyone here played Mech Commander: Omnitech?
Just search for them. They are both freeware now, so it is not illegal to download them.All of this just got me wanting to olay MechCommander again.
Any of you gents know where i can get my grubby hands on them?
You were warned about the shitty programming, the retarded gameplay and the bad fanfic tier writing.I decided to give this a try. Spent an hour slogging across the first level, squashing trash mobs, listening to annoying nigger / stronk womyn companions prattle on about political bullshit I don't care about. Then the boss at the end of the level drops in and ROFLstomps the bodyguard dude in 2 turns. Game over.
Reload and I'm back at the beginning? Lmao as if I could ever be fucked to do that again. Probably the worst, biggest waste of time tutorial mission I've ever played. Goddamn SLOW AS FUCK piece of shit game. Merry Christmas.

It is still slow as fuck with all those options toggled. It is just a badly programmed piece of junk.I decided to give this a try.

lmao you can press the spacebar(?) to speed up the attack and move animations
on top of that you can change the frequency or outright disable the "cool cam" animations
you idiot lol

I call BS. Both nu-XCOM shits all over the HBS game in just about every aspect. The best thing about the HBS game is the music in the intro, but XCOM's music holds its own even against that.It is still slow as fuck with all those options toggled.

Yeah I kind of agree. I'm just getting into X-Com enemy unknown and I'm really liking the game but wow, it's five(?) years older than Battletech and its way better programmed. I think Battletech has nicer graphics, but Battletech has the advantage of not being forced onto 2005/6 hardware post 2010. And there's no voice acting, the game takes a long, long, long time to load, etc.
you're getting into XCOM.I'm just getting into X-Com enemy unknown and I'm really liking the game but wow, it's five(?) years older than Battletech
it's X-Com, you fucking philistine.Old XCOM
that is bananas. I think xcom 1 still looks good and more importantly and feels good to play. battletech has an aneurysm when you shoot more than 1 bullet. "you're shooting 4 machine guns? HOLD ON LET ME FREEZE THE GAME SO I CAN CALCULATE THIS!"I think Battletech has nicer graphics
You have to feel for the HBS game when my Annihilator with 5x LB2-X and 2x SPPCs does an alpha strike. It is not its fault it had incompetent devs.that is bananas.

HBS stole those 'mech visuals from Mechwarrior Online.that is bananas.

I didn't say X-Com had poor visuals. It's just that they look like an early 10's console game. HBS Battletech's mechs are very nice looking, with good art direction. They sell the idea of 200+ year old mechs killing each other.
It is a sign of how utterly incompetent the devs are when that kind of spawning happens. It is the only way they are able to make the game more difficult for the players. It is especially bad as X-Com did it so much better with far fewer resources 30 years ago.What I really hate in this game is how story missions are designed around spawning enemy reinforcements behind your units and for some reason the reinforcements get a free turn the moment they are spawned. I use the last available unit in my squad to trigger a story event and a bunch of shit spawns behind me, and before the next round even begins every enemy unit gets a free shot at mine. And then on then next round they get another action before me cause most of my mechs are heavy and slow. Usually this results in me using a unit or two because the enemies get to make like 10 attacks at their rear armor for free.
I'm sorry, game, for not having the power of precognition necessary to avoid shit like that.
