Mechwarrior Tactics

I used to play Poxnora a bit before they streamlined the crap out of it and SoE bought it out, very similar in approach honestly. Random decks, some with higher chances of getting rares, etc. You play on a grid game with turns. I'll just view it as a mechanical incarnation of that rather than a BT game.

 

zI think the real decider is how close to the board game they go. I would be willing to deal with the monetization model if it meant getting MM in 3D, but not so much for MtG:Tatics with a battletech shell...

 

The videos make it look fairly close to tabletop. I will definitely at least try this, and decide later if its worth dropping money into.

 

I plan on playing mechwarrior tactics.

 

It will be interesting to see the full game released with the monetary items, or booster packs.

 

I was talking to a dev, at the nvidia event, for MWT. and I was pleased to hear about the customizatio like theres going to be a pilot, who likes to run hot, so you want to keep your heat high, while another runs low, and has bonuses, so you run him low. theres some weapons that have longer range, but do less damage. others have more ammo. it'll be fun, you don't know exactly, what you are facing.

 

Also from IGP, Mechwarrior Tactics started its founder program. Additionally, MMOBomb gives out beta keys and IGN as well but only to Prime Users.

It's browser based, turn based, hex-map mechwarrior tactics game

If anyone tries it, look me up as "Maatard".

 

We have a whole forum on this...

So, anyway, after months of lingering with a stench of death like a dead cat behind your drywall... MWT is officially dead.

Something to do with the fact that PGI bought the IP from IGP!?

 

And one final kick to the horse....

If they would have just made this a straight up game I would have bought and played the shit out of. The whole "booster deck" thing was one of the worst F2P implementations I'd seen since......well...MWO. (oh no he didn't!)

Oh, also the mechs looked more like Killer Klownz from Outer Space than anything from Battletech.

On the plus side: With the bad game design, bad art design and bad marketing it was destined to fail. And it successfully lived up to that expectation.

 

Yep, pretty much. They stopped all work back in December, and there's no sign its going to start up again.

 

I don't understand how this isn't outright fraud, like criminal fraud.

 

I mean the tactics one does look cool. But that looks like a destroid from macross. Or something out of the Earth series (earth 2150 and such).
