There are multiple types of arm, leg, core and head, along with generators, boosters, and FCS. As every fan knows, customisation is the most important aspect of the series, and this game has done it justice. LIkewise, a good pilot with a heavy AC will bring a lot of firepower against even fast-moving targets, but if they can stay out of the line of fire, it doesn't matter how big your guns are. A good lightweight AC pilot can run rings around a less-skilled pilot with a heavy AC, but if you make a mistake, you go down fast and hard. In this, and some other aspects, ACV is a return to the roots of the series. Those two games also made lightweight ACs significantly more durable than previous titles, where you had to sacrifice armour even more than firepower to get the fastest mechs. Previous games in the series allowed players to 'fly' as long as their AC's energy reserves held out, with the most recent releases, AC4 and For Answer, making 'permaflight' builds a common sight. Even after settling on a basic control scheme, there are a couple of tweaks I use for different builds, since each AC (the name for your mechs) handles VERY differently, and emphasises different functions. At first, I started with minor tweaks to the default controls, then adjusted a few more things as I got more in-depth into the game. As for the gameplay itself, the full freedom to reassign EVERY function in the game to a different part of the controller means that you can create your own control scheme EXACTLY the way you want. I've seen an incredibly fast-moving target teleport ALMOST the width of their mech in a worst-case scenario so far, which means literally nothing in the context of even the most precision-sensitive weapons. I'm literally on the opposite side of the world from almost everyone I've faced, and while there has been visible lag in a handful of matches (literally 4 or 5 of the DOZENS of online matches I've played), it's NEVER been severe enough to actually influence a battle. I live in New Zealand, and our local copies of the game connect us to the European servers. The other is the game's lack of mass appeal - it's very clear this product is targeting a specific niche, and while it offers that target market almost everything, it's not even remotely fun for most players outside that core group. One is the separation of North American and European servers.

One is the separation There are two reasons this game is short of a 10/10 rating from me, and each is major enough to cut a full point away. There are two reasons this game is short of a 10/10 rating from me, and each is major enough to cut a full point away.
