Mech Commander 1 and 2 and Gold are rts style and based in and around the clans. But it has pause so you can stop the game to make decisions and coordinate.
Mech Warrior 1-4 and all the add ons and expanisions are First Person Shooters and Sim like.
Mech Assault 1 & 2 are a more modern console version.
Then there is tabletop which spans since the mid 1980's. Thru multiple versions and along a huge timeline. Going from Tier 1 weapons, equipment and mechs (what is in the new Battletech Game 3025) up thru the Tier 2 equipment starting at the war of 3039 then onto the Clan and omni mechs of Tier 3 and beyond starting in 3050.
Mech Warrior 5 a new first person sim shooter should be released in Dec 2018. It is also based in the 3025 era.
Mech Warrior Online is a free to play pvp massively (12vs12) online shoot em up. You can play for free but the good stuff does cost money and the free stuff is not as good as the pay stuff. It doesn't have golden bullets per se, but its pretty close. War Thunder does the free to play way better. (my opinion) I have thousands of hours on the games I mentioned, not counting mech assault. I have played tabletop since the mid 80's.
Non Battletech mech games I can remember that were decent are few and far between. My favorite was probably the old game called 'Earth Siege'. Then the real fun infantry shoot/scoot/ski games called Tribes.
There are many more. Including some old DOS ones, some online ones from AOL, Crescent Hawks Inception and so many more.
Sarna.net is your friend for all things Battletech

Older games you have Mission Force:Cyberstorm on the PC and the various old Front Mission games that scratched a similar itch.

Hold on, what? The only stuff you need to pay for with real money to get is cosmetic paint, cosmetic cockpit items and Hero mechs, most of which aren't as good as the regular variants. Everything else can be obtained with in-game currency.
Not to mention it's one excellent strategy game with a very good expansion - Forged Alliance.
If you grind forever, yes.
Most people with a life are not going to put in the stupid amount of hours to try to not pay.
There were plrnty of "pay for advantage" things in there, so many that most people quit when it became how many there were.
MWO derseved to be a much better game than it was.
(And I still LOL at the $500 rl cash gold mechs.)
Meh.
