ah the joys of having gibberish for a username.

+Edit. I read the sales pitch, a couple of things caught my eye:
"Relying more on line-of-sight and incorporating information technologies, we feel that information warfare will bring a new level of realism to the fight and help enforce the idea of team based multiplayer even more." - Sound like sig/scan?
"The newly implemented Battle Grid will give commanding units a bird’s eye view of the battlefield and scouts will be able to feed real time recon information to them. " - need I even say F3?

Works for LoL and means I don't pay a cent. Fine by me!

There's nothing wrong with F2P inherently... only when you combine it with a desparate or unscrupolus developer and a game which caters to people who are stupid or lazy.
The last bit is critical: if the players are lazy and stupid, then the dev will sell them what stupid lazy people want: shortcuts.

If the game is aimed at serious players and the core of it isn't about gathering stats like a stupid faux RPG, then players will pay for stuff which enriches their experience.

Do not tell me this is the game where I got once sniped away ... is it?
I always thought MechWarrior is a Microsoft thing, no?
