So this year is a good year for Mech fighters. Turn based Battletech has made it's appearence, Mechwarrior 5 is close to release!
This brings me to one topic: Why is Mechwarrior Online so much more popular then Mechwarrior Living Legends????
There is Mechwarrior online, a game where Mechs can battle it all out on not really big maps, with some different game modes and all the usual MMO microtransactions and grinding to skill your mechs up. Battles rarely last longer then 15 minutes. You have a Mech Lab wher you can customizer your mechs. But on the battlefield there are only limited possibilities to put all the tactics to use. But this game has a numerous population, and servers in US, EU and Asia.
Then there is Mechwarrior Living Legends, a totally free game, made by fans. The game hosts a big variety of pre-configured mechs, tanks and aircraft and you can also play battle-armor (infantry). It features big and diverse maps and a tactical base capturing with a ticket system. Battles last at least for 30 minutes until an hour and are packed with action, communication, teamwork. But it has only a sparse population. You sure can find games in the evening hours. There is one server with about 20 to 30 players going all night usually.
Why?!
I really love Mechwarrior Living Legends. My job gives me a lot of free time during daytime. But the servers are only full at nighttime.
Come on dear Frontier community. Give this game a look. In my opinion it has a lot going for it. It's much more intense then MWO, it's free, it has no artificial skill treas, it's all about team coordination and personal skill. Everyone has the same starting gear. It's grand!
