only about 10 missions in.

I should have looked at my steam library before posting.

Mostly because there was no "Mech 5 Basic".

On PC, the Mechwarrior franchise included:
   Mechwarrior 1
   Mechwarrior 2 (with MW2: Ghost Bear's Legacy and MW2: Mercenaries)
   Mechwarrior 3 (with MW3: Pirates Moon)
   Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance (and MW 4: Mercenaries)
   (Living Legends, unofficial)
   Mechwarrior: Online
   Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries
     and now
   Mechwarrior 5: Clans

Because MW5:Mercenaries was, for the last 5 years, the _only_
Mechwarrior 5 game, the 'Mercenaries' subtitle was often dropped. So
you'll hear people talking about "Mechwarrior 5" but what they really
mean is "Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries"

MW5:Mercs isn't a bad game. I enjoyed it enough to not only play it
multiple times, but buy a bunch of the DLC. But -as mentioned by
others- it does get fairly repetitive, and the AI is significantly
lacking.

The maps are re-used a lot and a lot of the procedurally-generated
missions (which form the bulk of your adventures as a mercenary) are
identical other than a reshuffling of what enemies you face. The
brain-dead AI has the enemies run right into your fire (no attempt to
flank or try to take you out from afar), and the developers are forced
to rely on numbers rather than smarts to provide challenge. Too many
missions require my tiny four-men squad take out literal dozens of
bad-guys. It's tedious, and goes against the tone of the setting,
where expensive battlemechs are never tossed away so haphazardly.

"Clans" apparently (or so claim the reviews) improves on the former,
as its single-player campaign features mostly hand-crafted missions.
But it's still not clear whether the AI has improved any.

Still, damn if I'm not tempted to buy the game already rather than
wait for it to drop in price (and get all the bugs and kinks worked
out). I just love me some rompy-stompy robots!
