It has no woke stuff. NONE. It is great, and the DLCs are amazing. I am currently playing through "Legend of the Kestrel Lancers" and it one hell of a campaign! It has a dynamic campaign, and when you are done, you can still act like a mercenary throughout the galaxy.

Edit: you need to mod it to become good. Including better effects, sounds, and FOV. Mechlab is also important. Another suggestion is the mod to make the paint more matte than shiny.
Joystick set up is a pain too. And no TrackIR. But for a game where it's last release was MW4, it is not bad.
Hell no. Mw5 is a travesty to the mech warrior name.
If you want a game get mech warrior 2, 3, pirates moon and 4.
Those are the real mech warriors, 5 is a tube born clanner.
Woah freebirth! do not put such such a travesty on us……jk
Yeah it’s not the best mechwarrior game. I imagine it would be better if you play with a group of friends for lance mates rather than using the ai. The AI is stupid and costs you more in repairs than the mission’s contract was going to pay out. And they have that dumb tonnage limit on missions that I instantly modded out. If you do get it. Get a friend to play it with you.
The AI is dumb and will try to follow you far too hard.
AFAICT there is no point in putting an AI mechwarrior in a long range mech or missile boat. They will follow you into the heat of battle and get fucked. You cannot be in a long range mech because all events only trigger when you get close.
I learned that the hard way hahaha
Modding is absolutely a must on MW5. I should have mentioned that hahaha
You need to get mods to make it good. Otherwise not that great. Including the UW resolution mod. Also sound mods, to improve the torso rotation sound. And the headlight mod.
Base game is a mostly fine shooter with a kick-ass soundtrack. See Razorfist's review https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=Bvbu6JFugOY if you want. (He also has some live streams of the game if you want to see more.)
Razorfist is the one who convinced me to get MW5 after watching his streams. So it may convince others too! Thanks for sharing the link.
Didnt the new MW get woke? or was that the other "modern" battlemech game?
That was the hbs battletech, which is good inspite of it, but incredibly better with mods that remove it and open up the map and add more mechs. The lead designer saw to the woke stuff, and based on some of their posts about designing the game, it sounds like the game is as good as it is inspite of them. They even admit they did not care for the mechs or universe the game was set in. They just took the job to insert their woke crap.
Can you give me more details on the part of the woke stuff and their reasoning? I'm curious to see their stupidity.
The woke stuff is:
There a fair bit of woke in the development team behind it which is the reason for all of the above.
I'm thinking getting it. Thanks for the extra details. Is the pronoun elimination mod still available and updated? What other mods are there to dewokify it?
Is the game still being updated?
A link to one was posted as a reply to one of Razor's (relatively) recent tweets. Want me to find it?
I forgot to say that it is not being updated anymore. Version 1.8.something is the final. You might say it is finished.
I couodnt find any mods that took out the pronouns that were up to date. Apparently, according to what I read, they did something in an update that made it even harder to get it out.
They added pro nouns for the character creator. The reason: Lead designer is trans and the studio is based in Seattle. Probably some silly points in the campaign but I can’t remember it too well since I’ve been playing a modded sandbox version ever since I beat it the first time
I remember the character creator too. I think I even made a video about it... maybe...
But as some people here said, and others elsewhere it can be modded out, im in!
That was the turn based "modern" one called Battletech.
The battletech game. With pronouns and some other nonsense. But apparently, according to what I've heard is that they added to appease the pronoun mob, but is not used anywhere else.
MW5 is woke free.
ONLY if you mod it heavily. Base game is shit but mods make it a great game.
