If you look at how many people are selling this game used you can tell that it stunk. Anyone who is a hard core MechWarrior fan will agree with me. The idea for MechWarrior by the orignal game designer was a game to be played on a COMPUTER with a JOYSTICK and not a gamepad. Also the to fire the PPC you shouldn't have to hold the butten to let them recycle, you should be able to fire right away.(this feature should really be for the bombast laser). The one thing that I did like about this game is that the weapons are made by different conmanies ie arrow IV missles. TO sum it up this game fall short of expatations and Microsoft should do something about it.
