36) Mechwarrior Online

The Launch Trailer marks the official debut of this mecha-MMO.

Pilot gigantic robot mecha-warriors in 12 v 12 battles. Players can customize the look and loadout of their Mechs to suit their preferred playstyle. Competing earns you both experience points and “C-Bills”, in-game currency to spend on better weapons or more customization options.

Gameplay is in the first-person, and the HUD is from the pilot’s perspective. The mechs are large and heavy, but that doesn’t mean they’re slow. Current game modes are team deathmatch, assault, conquest, and domination. But the main point is, kill the other mechs and take the objective.

Mechwarrior Online has some surprisingly in-depth and thought-out gameplay, with the concept that tanks in the future are basically tanks now, but with legs. So you operate the legs and physical steering, and aiming, independently. Another interesting feature is the Information Warfare feature, in which scout players can feed information back to the rest of the team and the team leader, allowing the Mechs to gain an advantage. You know, like spying.

MWO looks pretty sweet, honestly. 

Overheating is worth it for that sweet, sweet explosion.

Watch as this youtuber attempts to excel at the game.
