It has issues especially with spawning, however there is a mod that drastically improves that. The game slams you with nostalgia, I grew up playing Mechwarrior 2 , 3 and 4 and this is really awesome! Yes it could use some more patches to officially fix the small problems it has but it's a solid entry into the series.
The devs said they support modding and will release modding tools for it in the future and they have already accomplished 4 rounds of hot fixes , I have little doubt the annoyances will be delt with by the developers. If your a fan of mechwarrior, you should give it a try, it's worth it. Never mind the haters , the only opinion that really counts is yours!
