Instead, it will just hold its position and stay idle.

With attack from position, the Mech will not automatically close in on a target when the target is out of range. Note that the cursor colour turns yellow when you use targeted shots - the same colour that is used for 'Attack from position' attacks.įrom this I gather that all targeted attacks are 'attack from position' attacks. I'm nearing the end of operation 2 and I have to say, I find myself being bored more often than not.Ĭlick to expand.I have the same issue, I think it is how it supposed to work. What remains is a (very very very) long chain of scenarios with a ton of repetition (many lifeless filler missions) and too much XP for your pilotes to go around on (they'll all be crack pilots in no time). I a later mission, the ending failed to fire despite all objectives having been completed, and later still it becomes somewhat common for there being a delay of half a minute or more after completing the final objective and before the mission completes.īeyond mission logic, since there are often no briefings at all and others are confusing since a couple of missions have been appropriated from other campaigns, a lot of what made the original game cool in the first place, the MechWarrior atmosphere, is lost along the way. I had to look both of those up on their forums. Again, this wasn't properly indicated anywhere, so again, just trolling players. Likewise, in another mission, containers you had to capture were hidden on outlying islands you could only reach with a jumpjet mech. The designer might have thought he was very clever, but actually this just comes across as player trolling. Except, this a mechanic never used anywhere in the game otherwise, and neither in the briefing nor during the mission is it made clear enough what you're expected to do. Later on, the mod has a fair amount of issues, though.įor example, there's a mission in which the designer had the super-kewl idea that you have to bring a couple of weak vehicles with you and park them on four drop beacons to avoid a bridge you have to pass from being blown up.
