for all the fans that I know are on this forum
my bro told me earlier. i hated the console ones, im pretty excited now
there have been rumors for a while, pretty much ever since that company bought the rights to produce a mechwarrior game. I'm not surprised in the least. In fact, I am not even that excited. I want a new mechwarrior, but I've been waiting so long I've grown bored of waiting. I just hope it is good.
Oh please god... make it like the originals... PLEASE... make it good... you know kinda like how I want Deus Ex 3 to be at least half as good as Deus Ex... FINALLY! WOOT! There are 3 teaser trailers on ign too... but soon everyone will have it so ya...
I used to be a huge fan of the Mechwarrior series, but alas, I've been spoiled utterly rotten by Steel Battalion: Line of Contact.
I wish I could say I was excited about this news, but I'm sure it'll have that same watered-down "mass appeal" they tried to achieve with later entries in the series and Mechassault.
Here's hoping for a full-blown sim, with the deepest customization options yet!
/wishful thinking
I hope this studio in Vancouver can do Mechwarrior justice. I'm a bit skeptical even if it is true.
I hope to god they make the Ui like that of mechwarrior 3, the roaming reticle was the biggest thing I felt that separated the series from other FPSs, and mechwarrior 4 ruined it by making the reticle fixed. And the customizability of 3 was sweet.
A new Mechwarrior game would be frickin' sweet (provided it's at least halfway decent)! Please, please, please....
I'm stoked!
Those 3 videos made me bubbly in the pants!
I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of the MechWarrior games - I hated the Xbox versions which didn't quite understand why MechWarrior was awesome - however I'd love to see another one. I still remember MechWarrior 2 blowing my mind.
Look at my avatar and my nick and go figure.
Eh, Star Adder. You so could of picked a better clan. =P
lol, just picking on ya.

Hopefully the new game is a simulator game, rather than arcade like MechAssaults. MA2LW was fun really, but it wasn't BattleTech :/And hopefully there is a console version too (i know 360 pad is a bit limited for a sim... but it would work).
ToSWS is deep... but its not a sim :/ Commanding mechs is fun, driving one around is far more fun. Too bad MW4Mercs doesn't have players anymore really... even if MekTek's making yet another MekPak.
I would also love a new Mechwarrior game. I actually hope for two diffrent games (probebly not going to happend):
1. A simulation style game with RPG content like the earler series.
2. A turnbased "tabletop" game focusing on tactics and stragety. There was one RTS like Mechwarrior game but I can't remember it's name. Like that one but turnbased instead of realtime and much more complex gameplay.
Although any Mechwarrior game will be great aslong as it isn't arcadeish or shootemupish
HELL YEAH!
Everything after Mechwarrior 3 sucked. I hope they won't make it as arcade-style as Microsoft did with Mechwarrior 4.
The Front Mission series was the best example of this. Although I haven't played any since Front Mission 3, they were really well done back then.

Mechwarrior 1 wasn't a very good game at all. It wasn't particularly bad, but it had little to do with the actual battletech game. Mechwarrior 2 on the other hand was awesome. Every release since then has been pretty good as well. If they make a new one, I would hope it would be a first person game that follows the FASA rules like MW2 and later, and not a top-down view that used none of the FASA rules like the original.
Also, here is the status of the Crysis mod: Mechwarrior: Living Legends.

I hope that it gets finished enough that it actually gets released.
Anyone played the BattleTech TCG? I have over 1000 cards and no one to play with lol.
I'm a bit perplexed why so many people who liked mechwarrior hated mechassault. Personally, I liked 'em all. Nothing quite like creating mayhem with a giant robot. Mechassault WAS Xbox live for a bit there. Mechassault 2's campaign was ok, but way too short. The online stuff, though, rocked. So much diversity. So much fun. Just hope the next installment brings justice to the series name.
As long as it isn't MW 4 or MA, I'm in.
As long as it more like MW3 than MW4 ill be happy. I believe (thursday?) ign is going to have exclusive details on the game.
Because it wasn't really a "Mechwarrior" game. It might have been ok for a console shoot em up, but it had none of the depth , stat tweaking or customization of the mechwarrior games. If you were hoping for an actual Mechwarrior game, its easy to see why that would be disappointing.
Yes on IGN on thursday night they are showing a world premiere so... Im there when that shows up!
Few games that old could be classified as "good" by most standards. However, as a mercenary game, it still had the best mechanics. No other game since actually had you freely piloting a dropship and actually negotiating contracts. MW4: Mercs kinda got one foot in the door there by giving you options of which missions you took when but it wasn't quite there.
Now speaking of the new game, I sort of doubt that it will be a full blown simulation. I'm sure the basics and MW essentials will be there but I think it won't have the same feel. I guess we'll see. Either way, a new MW game is better than none, even if it's not all we hope for.
