Thank you PGI
Thank you for getting the dwindling MW fanbase want to pay for a standalone "non-dlc" at $50 extra for an update that has every QOL missing from MW5 Merc's awesome release, plus a linear campaign that includes the most iconic MW, the mad cat, which wasn't in MW5 Mercs after at least 5 dlcs it had.

Also thanks for not updating MW5 mercs so that we need at least 15 mods to make it playable.

Also it's great to know that the older UE's assets totally cannot be ported into the UE5 as an excuse to not update MW5 Mercenaries.

Well, many of us are skeptical of the success of this game and are on a "wait and see" approach since it is such a radical departure from Mercenaries. I'm going to wait for reviews before I take the plunge. If they are above "mixed" I may consider it.

Prepare to wait over 2 years 'till they iron out just the game breaking bugs. ACG reported he had CTDs and "invincible" enemy mws in a mission he obviously couldn't finish. It's gonna be a 'proper' MW5 launch alright.

ACG is a tourist and I don't give a flying ♥♥♥♥ about the opinion of people who rate Starfield as 10/10. Starfield has less players than Fallout New Vegas on Steam.

Well you could take that to the Starfield forums, because that's not the point of this discussion.

Also, it's getting a little late to ask for PGI for a review copy of the game, shilly billy.

Yep, appears so. Not to mention co-op is basically unplayable currently with terrible desync issues and weird issues like mechs floating and firing in place and then weird design issues where the host can change mechs if he dies, but the client has to wait for the mission to end if they die.

"You are a shill" no further arguments, ad hominem. Nice one.

This is built on UE5, and is an evolution of their current game. It's worth every penny in order to ditch that flawed UE4 one.

We need no mods to enjoy MW5.

God, we don't really need mods anyway - they are nice, but not required.

kthxbye

No way, really?

and is an evolution of their current game
An evolution that's getting the same if not worse issues than MW5 Mercs at release?

ditch that flawed UE4 one
So you don't need mods to enjoy MW5 Mercs but you consider it a flawed game anyway?

Said by literally no one who's actually played over an hour of MW5 Mercenaries, well said.

Mods in MW5 work exceptionally well, my playthrough has around 50+ mods and runs perfectly fine without crashes, Baradul himself on youtube has a long running series on mech5 thats running something like 70+ mods

Campaign in 5 is not linear in any way what so ever, you have to option to do side contracts whenever you choose, oh and mech5 wasnt updated to UE5 because PGI asked the modding community about it before hand, because guess what??? PGI care about the modders that made extra content for a game they love.

Mech5 is also fully playable WITHOUT ANY mods of any kind, if you want to mod you can, they dont force you.

Now stop crying Freebirth.

Nobody said mods in MW5 don't work, quite the contrary mademoiselle.

[CITATION VERY MUCH NEEDED] - Not that we don't take your word nor PGI's for granted anyway. And certainly not an impossibility for them to port MW5 Mercs into UE5 if they wanted to, anyway.

Campaign in 5 is not linear in any way what so ever, you have to option to do side contracts whenever you choose
So it's pseudo non-linear (them sidequests), got it. Very non sandboxy.

Mech5 is also fully playable WITHOUT ANY mods of any kind
It is, but nobody plays it without 'needing' them as the game is hardly feature complete in comparison to MW2 - 3 or even 4. Along with your 50+ mods, that is.

Now stop crying Freebirth.
Don't recall nobody crying bobby, people just can't take poor practices driven into our favourite franchises - unless you want to become a paypig, which nobody's forcing you to be anyway.

Modded Mechwarrior 5 is the ONLY way to go! Anyone who says otherwise is on Crack. I don`t play MW 5 anymore, but the Mods made the game look better, sound better, and feel better. The Mechwarrior Devs could learn a thing or 2 from the Modders and Mods out there. The Volumetric Re-Scale being just 1 of them.

MW5 MERCS is very similar to Skyrim.

Is it playable without mods? Sure..

But after playing it heavily modded for a while, would you really enjoy playing it non modded?

Like when I used to play skyrim, I had so many mods on, it basically was a different game. I made that game exactly how I wanted, better combat, better followers, better ghx, better lvling up, better balance, better enemies. After playing it like that for years, I tried the base game no mods. While nothing stopped me from playing, the fun factor I had with it modded was not there. It was slow, clunky and basic. Even though it was "playable" I would not want to play it like that.

If someone where to say to me to win an argument "skyrim un modded is just as good as it modded" I would view them as someone who has to straight up lie to win an argument, and I would be extremely skeptical of anything else they would say.

I did the campaign mode x 2, completed 2 DLCs and have over 150h played with no mods (or almost - StarMap and Lance Mate status only).

Also, you don't know what you are talking about: you're mixing a game engine and the game itself to be the same.

GTFO Troll.
