- EnTaroTassadar, on 07/13/2009, -1/+99MechWarrior was always one of my favorite games as I was growing up. We need more games like this; robots just battling each other for no real reason other than the fact it looks ***** cool.
- Hraes, on 07/13/2009, -0/+74The what? New MechWarrior? How is this the first I've heard of this? ***** YES.
- inactive, on 07/13/2009, -1/+70I was soooo the first to submit the reveal trailer, but no one likes me and I'm a sad panda.

- DiggsUnder, on 07/13/2009, -1/+35BattleTech FTW
- duncan202, on 07/13/2009, -0/+30*****.. I'd written this genre off as dead...
This. Is. Awesome.
Finally a reason to start dusting my joystick off. - YME1280, on 07/13/2009, -0/+26I have to say that I'm pretty excited for this game and the last time I played one in the series was the first one for PC and this tickled my brain in the ancient memory department (in a good way.)
- Mankind121, on 07/13/2009, -0/+23Watching the trailer it says in-game footage
- SomeRandomGuy, on 07/13/2009, -2/+20Here are some things from the full interview that I found disturbing:
1) The way they keep saying "This isn't your father's MechWarrior". Uh, hello!? WE'RE the ones you're making this game for. If this game was going to find a new audience, Microsoft would still have the rights to it.
2) The way this, once again, dredges up the same early history. This is going to lead to Clan War. We know this. I'd much rather have they re-write a bit of the later history. Maybe the Clan gets a portion of the planets, the IS guys have their planets, you have plenty of room there for an epic, epic showdown.
3) The plot. Adrian's a hard-partying, boozing kid who shirks his responsbility, until tragedy strikes, and then he gets angry, and kicks 31 varieties of ass. YAWWWWWWN. How many times has this happened? I love how people think that this will be a great way to show character depth, the way that the kid has to learn to suck it up, and accept his responsbility, but in reality, it's so hackneyed and cliched that it's just terribly uncool.
4) The fact that they want to allow PCs and 360s to play together means that there's a 95% chance of getting a stripped down game in the controls department. - inactive, on 07/13/2009, -0/+17If you look at the bottom-mid-right during the 1st person segments, it says "ingame footage".
I really hope there aren't THAT many interruptions to the combat. That said, I came when I watched it for the first time. - mountain1488, on 07/13/2009, -0/+13Any word on a release date?
- Daxx22, on 07/13/2009, -0/+12Sympathy-Dig!
- SomeRandomGuy, on 07/13/2009, -0/+12I'd love for it to happen someday, and then when the PC owners just own the ***** out of the 360 gamers because they don't get auto-aim, they'll never ask for this function again.
I just don't want it to happen on a game I actually care about! - Daxx22, on 07/13/2009, -3/+15Give me all your candy or I'll alpha strike your house!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiMQTbdab7I - Daxx22, on 07/13/2009, -2/+14He's being buried for referencing the ***** "Mechassault" games for X-Box.
Those were not true Mechwarrior games. - SomeRandomGuy, on 07/13/2009, -0/+12He's not getting buried for referencing them. He's getting buried for hoping this turns into another one.
- Titan615, on 07/13/2009, -1/+12Its because he's talking about MechAssault the Xbox bastardized version of the true old school Mechwarrior games.
- AWBoy666, on 07/13/2009, -1/+12Looked in better condition than Detroit.
- AndrewDB, on 07/13/2009, -0/+10I cannot ***** wait for this.
The day after the trailer for this went live I drove down to Chicago, and got my ass to Dave and Busters for an all day Mechwarrior / Battlemech fest.
So much ***** fun. - AWBoy666, on 07/13/2009, -0/+10Holy crap I loved Mechwarrior. I cannot wait for this!!!
- AWBoy666, on 07/13/2009, -1/+11Couldn't agree more.
Now we just need a new version of Descent. - z7z1z0, on 07/13/2009, -4/+13Is this gameplay?
- dalittle, on 07/13/2009, -2/+11PCs and 360s to play together is a kiss of death
- oriondr, on 07/13/2009, -1/+10/me drools
No Omnimechs is sad, but I'll get over it quickly. - bjornski, on 07/13/2009, -0/+9Please, for the love of a digital God, don't give it to EA.
- Daxx22, on 07/13/2009, -0/+9The combat in the trailer is likely "Dramatized" for the sake of the trailer, but I'd say it's a safe bet that those are in-game graphics.
- L0NER, on 07/13/2009, -0/+8that trailor overloaded my heatsinks and shut my ass down.
- bossm4n, on 07/13/2009, -1/+9Makes me miss Starsiege.
- Titan615, on 07/13/2009, -0/+8I'm going over to my storage unit tomorrow and getting my old Microsoft Sidewinder 2.
- BottledViolence, on 07/13/2009, -1/+9Dugg for old school Warhammer. Unseen FTW.
- yocouchdigga, on 07/13/2009, -0/+8I dusted my joystick off while watching the trailer...
:3 - iMick, on 07/14/2009, -0/+8Please please please just remake Mechwarrior 2 with a modern graphics engine. You wouldn't need to change a thing mission or story wise!!!
Reactor Online, Sensors Online, Weapons Online, All Systems Nominal... - blackraven1425, on 07/13/2009, -0/+8Plus they can't play with a joystick. I can't imagine the hell that would be playing on a 360 controller...
- protogenxl, on 07/13/2009, -0/+8It seems the designers are working out of the 3025 tech manual so here is the possible Tech List
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Technical_Readout:_3025
But they are adding tech like the Drone and a lot of the original FASA designs were borrowed from Macross so who knows what will happen. - kejento, on 07/13/2009, -1/+9It's about time!
- themastersb, on 07/13/2009, -0/+7I've been waiting forever for a Mech game. I can hardly wait for this.
- Titan615, on 07/13/2009, -0/+6I've been waiting for this game for a long, long time. The mekpaks and what not were cool,
but the Mechwarrior franchise needed an update a long time ago. - Sheethappens, on 07/13/2009, -1/+7GIMMEE!! GIMMEE!! I want it! I used to love the Mech Warrior back in the old days and this leaves them for DEAD! How soon? Anyone know?
- vibrokatana, on 07/13/2009, -0/+6They stated it took place during the first succession war. The clan invasion (and hence the origin of omnimechs) didn't happen until the 4th (or nearly 200 years later iirc).
Due to how technology was obliterated from the endless fighting, mechs from the time of the star league are actually faster, run cooler and hit at a longer range then what you would see at the end of the 4th succession war/beginning of the clan invasion. - Kale27, on 07/13/2009, -1/+7Better not make me play as some freebirth scum.
- AndrewDB, on 07/13/2009, -2/+8Apparently it's using the in game engine, no word if it's pre-rendered or actual game play.
I'd assume it's an FMV. - Caedus, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5They are still looking for a publisher. So unfortunately, no. No street date as of yet.
I'm praying for a 2010 release though! :) - bjornski, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5Have to agree, I actually liked 3 better.
- GothAlice, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5I loved MechWarrior before Microsoft Game Studios bought them and turned it into a cartoon. My favorite combo in MW2:Mercs: 6xLRM20, two wingmen with linked sensors. Send the scouts on ahead, target lock on the head of your enemy, link fire, and fire away, straight up. In any reasonably open map, it was hard to lose. (In close quarters, 12x machine guns and watch the limbs fly.)
- blackraven1425, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5No Omni had been seen by the Inner Sphere until 3049. The trailer takes place in 3015. That's kinda like saying "We haven't seen the other country's tech before, why aren't they being used yet?"
- Langford, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5A small pulse equipped mech is effective against some large mechs, but it's size and arsenal gives it it's own set of weaknesses that you can play against. In a team you could buddy a small mech to defend a large one, because small pulse mechs die fast when ganged up on. If you are alone, the autocanon will tear through a small mech like it was made of tissue paper while also disrupting their aim. The possibilities are endless, you just need to be as devious as they are. It's war you know, and strategy is half the game.
- Hraes, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5Looks like you were the second counting indirect links, but I'm digging you for being the first direct link, and because everyone should also watch the trailer in its original, uninterrupted form.
- stonedgeek, on 07/14/2009, -0/+5Mechwarrior 2 was the game that got first got me into gaming. It was probably the first game I ever played. The moment my mech first touched down on that desert planet in the first level I was hooked forever.
The fact that all the mechwarrior games after Mercenaries sucked disappointed me, but I'm no less excited for the reboot now. - wedges, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5holy balls
- hallera420, on 07/13/2009, -0/+5Buyin it!!
