Only a single urban skirmish map is a huge disappointment but this is tempered somewhat by the excellent destruction of walls and buildings. The random nature of the new flashpoints and story portions means you’re not very likely to experience them and the new mechs struggle to find a place in your line-up over more proven machines. Urban Warfare adds a decent amount of new content to the game but for a £15.49 price tag it feels a little stingy.
What is not fine is then adding the cut mech as one of. It was part of the original Kickstarter and cut because they couldnt figure out a way to do ECM in the base game, which is fine. Attack and Defend is easily one of the best modes in Battletech. Now Ive been loving this game, and the modding community, but I have a bit of an issue with the fact we are paying for the Raven twice. Mad scrambles to retreat a heavy mech to bolster defence, or rush a fragile mech away from hostile base defences can force you to re-evaluate your decisions and come up with new plans on the fly. You can’t go all-in on either attack or defence and so you have to choose which mechs will stand and fight, and which will push into the unknown to engage what may be a heavily defended enemy stronghold. Splitting your lance in these missions is a huge gamble. As the name suggests you have to attack an enemy base while defending your own. This is aided by the other new addition, the Active Probe, which can reveal units that are normally hidden.Ī new mission type, Attack and Defend, introduces a new tactical hurdle too.

Dealing with an AI equipped with an ECM of its own does make for a tense encounter though, you can never be sure what’s hiding in the dome so making contact with the enemy becomes a kind of cat and mouse game where you try to gather info before choosing how to dive in. Against real players, the ECM is quickly countered by closing to melee range but the AI struggles to handle it, it’s all too easy to wander around just a few tiles from an enemy mech shooting it in the back while it flails about trying to find you.
The Raven 1X meanwhile has its trademark ECM suite and introduces a whole new level of tactics to play.ĮCM produces a dome of sensor jamming around the Raven 1X which allows you to effectively hide your mechs in plain sight, advancing on an enemy lance without detection until they’re literally right in your face. Unless you have no other choice, it doesn’t ever really make sense to put a Javelin in your lance. The Javelin is a fairly mobile mech with decent close-range firepower but struggles to find its place in the large selection of mechs already on offer. The two new mechs are first on the chopping block Urban Warfare introduces the Javelin and Raven 1X. Does it add up to more satisfying stompy mech action? Keep reading to find out. As the name suggests it focuses mainly on adding in more urban warfare settings including more dense city areas, new bases to assault, and new battlemechs to take into combat against your enemies. Urban Warfare is the second expansion for Harebrained Schemes Battletech.
