I've clocked ~184 hours into Battletech now, both Stock and heavily modded, and I love this game. It's an excellent adaptation of the Classic Battletech (CBT) tabletop game, and while not 100% identical, it brings the "feel" of the table to the PC. The mechs are beutiful, melee combat never gets old, and coring out a spider with an AC20 always feels good.

Ballance wasn't perfect at launch, but the patches are bringing the weapons closer to where they should be. Performance has improved, and the game is solid for stability. Only 2 hangs that I recall.

The game is very Mod friendly, with simple JSON edits allowing you to tweak and tune most of the game's settings or equipment. The modding community has really taken off, with huge changes such as open universe maps, different weapons, GUI changes, etc. As the game receives official expansions, it's only going to improve.

If you love CBT, this is the closest you'll find short of MEGAMEK, and it's a heck of a lot easier to work with. LOVE IT!
