"Mechwarrior Tactics"
 
   So the game has been opened up for 3 days as a stress test and I finally got on.

It's much as portrayed in the promotional/review vids so far and a pretty solid reflection of table-top.

The changes from the latter make sense in this format and the feel is good.

(A.I. is dumb, but hey if you have no friends...)

And there's the wonderful sense of triumph of sweeping around an Awesome like a wolf pack and bringing that sucker down with concentrated fire...

   Is it more stable? I got a beta code a long way back because I'm in the MWO beta, and it was VERY crash happy.

   I generally have to refresh a couple of times a match. (at least in my limited experience of it so far: 4 games. yeah, this happens RIGHT when I'm pulling 10-hour shifts). However without exception refreshing has re-opened the game where I left off or after the turn I submitted has resolved, in less than a minute so it's quite painless if that happens.

   I don't particularly trust anything IGP is doing with this IP, especially as they had to fire the first MWT developers and the MWO situation is spiraling downhill rapidly:

   The MWO thing is overblown. I'm still having plenty of fun playing, and while I admit the secs have not been getting five stars for communication, they're also trying to implement a feature a lot of people have been asking for.

   I am cautiously optimistic about MWT, especially since I do prefer my games to be pretty whenever possible, but when it comes to translating the tabletop game to PC in all of its splendor and glory, including support for full and complete customization of mechs (a dealbreaker for me in any Battletech game that isn't real-time) so far nobody has managed to beat MegaMek.
