![]() Not that I'm in any hurry for that, because I am hooked on the aforementioned meta-game of trying to collect every mech in mech-town. If I were to play a new campaign now, I'd want crunchier difficulty though (and it sounds like the first major BattleTech update will offer this.) If presented with a situation, I now see exactly what the solutions will be, even if a combination of RNG luck and tactical judgement doesn't necessarily mean I'll pull it off every time. ![]() I don't mean to say I'm shit-hot at BattleTech particularly: this is just the natural course of sticking with it for as long as I have (50 hours and counting), and I think familiarity and understanding inevitably overwhelm difficulty past a certain point.
