iamacyborg··on Patching MechCommander's "left arm bug" for fun and profit
That damned Vulture in the base in the second demo mission was rough. I hit a serious wall in the campaign in Op1M5 when you had to defend the farm. It’s almost a shame that MC2 is so easy in comparison

I follow a guy called Daniel McCarthy on LinkedIn who writes a lot on CLV and that seems to be his take. Even if theoretically you get way more than you pay with subscriptions, the vast majority of people are not power users.
