[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8728528, member: 19675"] I had that for the Mac. I was getting pretty good at it when an in-event pissed me off enough that I temporarily quit. Which became permanent when my upgraded replacement computer wouldn’t run the game because of the system change. I was doing one of the advancement challenges, the one where you’re fighting a Heavy (100 ton) mech with a light (20 ton) one. I used my speed and mobility to avoid being hit while concentrating my fire on a single leg. I took the leg out, defeating the big SOB. …which then fell on my mech, destroying it and causing me to lose the challenge. Since the challenges were one time only events, my character was level capped. Now, that wasn’t the sole reason the game frustrated me to the point of quitting, but it was the last straw. There was an airport defense scenario that my buddy had conqured with relative ease, but I was struggling with, time and time again. Just couldn’t get past it. I’m sure I would have figured it out eventually, but after the challenge event fiasco, I was just deflated. I also tried out the Battletech arcade center here in D/FW a few times. My call sign was MAD. I racked up a HUGE number of kills each time I played. I also got killed at a higher rate than most. I guess I lived up to my callsign.😉 Playing that game in those immersive cockpits was a blast, no question. But it was just a bit too expensive to really grab me. [/QUOTE]
