Realizing the power that could be had in controlling the planetary resources, the OCC quickly launches into action a plan that will erupt in civil war and completely destabilize society for their own evil gain. AC unit customization, a core element of all the games in the series, has been addressed. Players now have access to over 400 different parts that can be used to construct literally millions of different AC designs. Weapons and parts have been completely redesigned from the previous titles and new part types have been added, thereby allowing longtime users to build completely new AC designs.

    The baffling story and incredible difficulty are likely to repel all but the most ardent and devoted players. [Sept 2004, p.110]

    It has more of the same clunky controls and general lack of fun for which the series is known. [Oct 2004, p.92]
