Too awesome.

Virtuality and I were recently talking how a new mech warrior would be great.

I am so getting this. I didn't really grow up with the series, but I managed to play a few of the later ones.

Massive robots with lots of guns are fucking cool.

Lovely!

I've still got my old Mech Warrior discs lying around somewhere. Was my first introduction to a 'LAN' with three of us playing against each other. Was sold on it and have never looked back (but I don't go to LANs cause smelly computer nerds are there) :asian:

Recycle your red poppies, paint them white, and wear them throughout the year.

Reading the interview on IGN its pointing towards the game being everything Mechwarrior fans wanted. They're fixing the "assault" problem, beefier graphics (even if it is brown'n'bloom UE3 crap). Mixing sim with arcade, to make it playable in both ways. The trailer there gives away a lot more detail than you would see at first glance, like how the weapons heat up to fire, and overheat, the audio messages are useful, etc. Looking very good.

Also, hula girl on the bottom right of the cockpit displays.

Looks promosing, but I would like to see more, especially some actual gameplay.

Judging by that explosion at the end, the Mechs are going to be carrying mini nukes :chuckle:

Yeah, the ejects all not that useful if you just end up parachuting into the resulting mini-nuclear explosion of your exploding Mech. Get a cool front row seat to your death though.

*Crosses fingers and prays* Please dont be a failure please dont be a failure..

*Hardcore mech-head.. still plays MW2, 3 & 4.. has a huge collection*

When i heard they scrapped this a few years ago, i was devastated.. i just hope they keep with the original Battletech and not go into the "New" ways of it..

ANd i hope they dont dumb the controls down for console! BRING BACK JUMP JET MANUEVERING!!

I liked jumping on heavy mech's heads with the light mechs.  Good chance of a critical!

Standing in a water hexagon, firing your ppcs, and those mean autocannon 20's

Oh my goodness.. this is looking awesome ..I remember back in primary me and my mate used to walk around like mechs :D I was always Timberwolf! :D

and we would take screenshots and print them out (which would take for ever on the oldschool printers XD) even though they were pretty much just a single plane of ground/grass and a bunch of lights and a mech or two :P

good times :D
