You can hold your actions to take your turns after the enemy has spent theirs, but your units may be killed or crippled before they can act. In regards to killing a unit before it can activate, that's a big counter to reserving your move we have in the initiative system. This did lead to us discovering a few glitches and quirks about the system that may or may not be fixed/tuned on launch. Then Wofen's 2x KTO, 2x FS9 DFA machine hit the scene and kind of took over until some people just stopped using it out of boredom. At first everyone was afraid of Lock&LRM until players learned to Brace or Race through the storm. Their was certainly killing or knocking over a unit just before it could activate and meta play emerged and evolved over the course of the beta.
Plus, very cool sweeping camera angles could have been included as both sides tear into each other.Ī final question is if anyone has openly stated they will work on a mod to make the game function like Battletech with simultaneous combat. The damage stats can be easy to see color charts and extra menus could be opened for the players that really want to know damage point by damage point. I have never believed the claims of "info overload" had any merit as simultaneous combat is canonical, modern, and far closer to realism. In my opinion I do not think reverting to gentleman's warfare was a positive in any way. I will, of course purchase the game, because it is Battletech fiction and if nothing more than for the story and VS AI options because hopefully, they built on concepts like from MW4 choices and give us a lot of options to make every playthrough different. My concerns mostly revolve around these points. Is this a huge problem in this game? Are players consistently holding back mechs, then attempting to swarm and kill assault and heavy mechs without them getting to fire a shot?Īre a lot of games simply holding every single mech back on both sides, then the game forces each player to move one by one?Īre meta players a big issue yet? (Players that cheese the game up and attempt to use any and all exploits to their advantage, playing the game nowhere near as intended.) I am curious how things have played out throughout the Beta.Ī common tactic used in most turn-based/gentleman's warfare game styles is killing a unit before it can activate. I am a Total Warfare Battletech player and my concern is that the developers reverted back to the archaic gentleman's warfare style versus sticking with the modern simultaneous combat of Total Warfare.
