I've found this game to be a source of great fun, now I'm only 34% done with it but up to this point it's been well worth the buy.

This is a game you should at least rent and try out. The game controls are very similar to MechWarrior 2 for Sega Saturn and has a realistic speed for mech movement, Check it out, :D

I hope this isnt a spoiler...

I played this game, and was very concerned that the % of completion in the story mode was the entire game...well it wasnt and I was very impressed with the game. Even online, I really liked the game.

Have you played online yet? If not you should give it a try... :shock:
Sweet!

Hey now, I think that Dragon (I'm actually working on the whole thing) is probably going to take me another year to finish. It's a work over time type of art.

And the Betty Bleux's Paint job is done, and she has been done for a week, ;) Now I'm slowly deciding what shapes I'm planning on using in the Graphics, :D



As for Chrome Hounds

I'm at 85% with nearly all S rankings and still don't have half of the parts, so I'm real excited to here about it not being DONE.

I've heard nothing but good about the online gameplay for this game and that is what I'm looking forward to. I'm planning on getting my Cable internet back up next week, so Xbox Live here I come, :twisted:

I still love this game and don't see that love dying down anytime soon but honestly you have to love the science behind building a mech to truly get the real joy that is this game. Now that isn't to say that you have to be super smart or know what binomial Fractions are it just means that you have to have a desire to take things apart and put them back together, :D

I do think it's worth a rental $5-$6 for 3-7 days with a video game that you can take back if you don't like it. You can read as many reviews and research all of the sites but when it really comes down to it you have to actually experience the game before you can say Yay or Nay, :D

I didnt have all S ratings, but I did complete the story mode with nowhere near half of the weapons! I ended up taking CH back because I wanted to rent Enchanted Arms...W O W! Im probably going to go buy both games, C.H. was just MechWarrior on steroids, and E.A. is a pretty sweet game as well. Its about time XBox came out with an RPG that rivals the FF series.
As far as the online gameplay goes, I thought it was very cool. You can go out on single missions to earn cash, or go out with your country and attack opposing countries. You get a starting bank account according to your progress in story mode, which is a ton of money. Then you can build your own online Hound or buy a pre-built one.
One word of advise, if you like your hound in Story mode, DONT transfer it to LIVE, because you cant transfer it back. They give you a Hound as compensation...but its not the same.

Are you able to use your decals and color profiles from your game on Xbox live or do you have to create new ones?

*Ahem* *Dusts off this thread* :tumble:

Anyone still play this? I am hugely into this game (I'm a Heavy Soldier/Light Defender. All my Mechs have decent Mobility and insane survivability, save for Splash Damage hitting my Weapons)

Anyways, if anyone still plays or decides to pick up the game (It's $10 for crying out loud!) PM me. My Squad is xX Hell Fire Xx, and we are slowly rising and have quite a few people who are pretty good.

Sorry for the Necro, but I was just checking if people still played this.
