I sure didn’t miss these long, stiff loading screens, though. It’s appreciated, considering how (appropriately) drab the Argo can be. Just a small increase in attention-to-detail for your base ship’s interior. A computer screen scrolls through monochromatic text behind Navigator Sumire. I also feel like there are a few more pulsing lights and navigation baubles on the desk. Also, it sticks a sort of pin on the map on all the star systems you’ve previously visited. The other dropdown menu filters by environment: jungle, lunar, urban etc. Filtering by difficulty narrows your results nicely, whether you want nasty five-skull missions, or if you want to buff up a greenhorn crew in a light lance with only half a skull’s worth of challenge. Two dropdown menus now filter results across the entirety of the map. Thank you, BattleTech, for improving the navigation map. It’s just part of the cost of doing business when you’re a business in the city-and 100-ton mechs have slammed down on 5th Avenue.įirst thing you have to do is find these urban locations. There are no repercussions, however, for any wanton destruction of public or private property. The destruction can be as casual or as callous as you make it out to be. A couple directed shots, or even a couple stray shots, will bring down a building real quick. But large civilian and corporate buildings have only 100 hit points. It’s tempting and necessary to mount an office building or two while you’re in town. With its city lights, city streets, and city infrastructure, you won’t confuse this type of arena for any other.
In Urban Warfare, it just looks a little different while you’re doing those same things. One hexagon closer or further away can make all the difference in sensor locking a primary target, a caravan giving you the slip, or bringing your short, medium, or long-range weaponry to bear in a guns-blazing alpha strike. You’re grabbing an increased shot percentage from higher ground or finding ways to cool your jets. You’re angling your battlemechs for this flank attack or that rear ambush. In the city, it’s still a game of inches. But nothing changes up the battlefield quite like the Urban Warfare DLC does.Īt least visually.

Yes, developer Harebrained Schemes ground a little pepper onto the algorithms making steeper hills and deeper valleys during a past free update. It’s given you jobs on dusty martian landscapes, icy blizzard landscapes, and even steamy jungle landscapes (if you bought the Flashpoint DLC). BattleTech has been hot, cold, temperate, and lunar. It introduces, with a firm handshake, the biggest change to BattleTech’s area of operations so far.
