Multiplayer down and singleplayer iffy

I've heard a lot about the multiplayer being incredible, but whenever I try and get on it it says the server is unavailable. As for the single player, it's pretty good but doesn't exactly bring me back fond memories of Mech games. It just feels a little off. However, it's still fun and customization isn't bad, though it's hard to make a good Hound without making it look like a gelatinous oversized and awkwardly designed wheelbarrow. And it's best to remain the suggested class in the campaign lines, but near the end it's better to just switch to a combat based mech. On the scout, there's four gigantic Hounds that are after your face. On the Sniper, there's just too many smaller Hounds flying down the road. On the Artillery, it's pointless to try. The only time it's a good idea to stay as the suggested class all the way through is in the Commander class. Otherwise it's pretty fun, considering, but doesn't keep the old Mech games alive, for certain. And its hard to find a decent, stable mech. Not to mention the lack of a firefight sort of arena mode is upsetting. All there is is the campaign and multiplayer, which as I mentioned before, seems to be down forever.
However, overall, it's a pretty entertaining game, though things can get boring quite fast once you've beaten the campaign, and as I mentioned before, making your own Hound can be a little frustrating.
