...poorly trained monkeys IMHO. Well of course it makes sense that Ian would assassinate his beloved sister and only living close relative. After all saving cities, orphanages and kittens all day must eventually have made him cranky(!?). It is non-contiguous with the characters in 'Vengeance'. Even the voice actors weren't the same except for a brief clip of Karl.
The voice acting was a disgrace. Well maybe not considering that all but one of the voice actors, including this production, have credits numbering in the ONES! Talk about "phoning it in". It sounded like most of them did that quite literally. I had a problem with the voice acting in Vengeance but compared to BK it was an academy performance.
I inherited the expansion recently. I often wondered before why Microsoft didn't make a "Mechwarrior 5". Guess after this they may have just wanted to bury it in time. Too bad for the fans, I guess.
The thing is; this was an Activision game before Microsoft acquired the rights. Activision is making some of the best games out there now. They could have really rocked this genre rather than sitting in an MS bin for the last 5 years.
Functionally the game is fine. There were a few additions that helped improve the feel of the game over MW4. Nothing can forgive the storyline production but because the game is functionally okay, I'll give it a 2 (rather than a 1).
