This might be slightly OT, but did anyone play MechWarrior Living Legends? The train of thought is to compare MWO to Living Legends and see what MWO could "borrow" from what MWLL did right.
I barely played it, but I do know that the game does have a stable version. It did everything BT, while MWO does mechs only. that could change, but we will have to wait. I had hoped MWO would actually aquire the rights to their assets, so they could import some more of their stuff, but they would still have to change all the mech styles, vehicle styles, ECT ECT...
