Call to Arms & Rise of Rasalhague

[TheOrangeBox]

From the JumpShip Edition to the Upgrade Bundle, are Call to Arms & Rise of Rasalhague a good additions to the game?

The Punch and Judy DLC?? Awful. Adds non canon mechs

Is The Dragon's Gambit a better catch?

Prob. Full Disclosure - I do have them all.

The last few missions in "Rasalhague" are almost impossible to complete - I.e. you can compete them, but only after dying or aborting countless times. On the other hand, the last few missions in "Call to Arms" are difficult, but not all all impossible.

Call to Arms is melee-focused. If you want to have 'mechs that can be equipped with melee weapons, or if you want to fight such 'mechs (e.g. Coyote's Mission Pack expects you to have this DLC as one of the things it can do is spawn a much of melee 'mech enemies), you want it. If you hate the idea of equipping a 'mech with a sword or of fighting one, then you don't want it.

Rise of Rasalhague adds linear set of missions, and it adds the "rival mercenaries' feature which is simpler than it sounds: other mercenary companies have operating areas, and if you take a mission in such a zone there's a chance that they willl spawn in a lance (probably against you, but occasionally allied ot you). When you defeat mercenary companies, a meter progresses and you periodically get sent loot from somebody claiming to be a particular legendary mechwarrior. But, it's not like a fleshed-out system where there'll be diplomacy/negotiations with other companies, reputation with them that affects anything, etc.

Thank you, this is very informative,

Rise of Rasalhague was very enjoyable. I just finished it a few days ago and the missions were interesting with just the right amount of challenge. I am about half way through Dragon's Gambit and also enjoying it equally. I would recommend both of them. Kestrel was excellent also.
