We'll we're set in the 3rd Succession War, so Clans are a LONG way off so you can forget those Mechs. However since at this point we're well into the "salvage whatever you can" stage of the Inner Sphere I'm imagining some interesting customization options. Also looks like it will be more simulator based, but probably around where MWIV was and not so much as III.
Mechwarrior Reboot Still Rebooting

So ... goodbye to lame shit like Urbanmechs? Good riddance.
Although, classic battletech did include a bunch of silly mechs.
Personally, I want to pilot a Charger.
"What the hell is an 80 ton high speed scout mech doing armed with only 5 small lasers? Oh right. This stupid thing is supposed to use its XL engine to punch you with its fists."

Not terribly reassuring on the marketing front, but it's good to know that at least one of the original FASA crew still cares about his stuff.
Between Battletech (well, mostly Mechwarrior for me) and Shadowrun, I owe a great deal of early fandom to them. Sad that they had to cave to WizKids and Microsoft, who has conveniently buried the Shadowrun license for all eternity.

As long as it isn't like MechAssault I'm interested. Hopefully they'll include more mechs this time 'round. Give me Commandos, Banshees, Archers, Marauders, Centurions, Cyclops, Jagermechs, Hunchbacks, etc.
edit: Also would be nice if every Mech didn't go critical when they get downed.
I hated the Urbanmech so much. I can only imagine that the MechWarriors who pilot those had to have pissed off someone high up to get that walking trashcan.Danceofmasks said:

This is awesome new!! I so can't wait for a proper Mech game. Mech 3 was my favorite of the series; I have so many nostalgia-waxed memories.
Hopefully they won't screw this up.

Can not fucking wait to pilot a sexy Dire Wolf.
Wait, there aren't any Clan 'mechs? Dammit. Hopefully they'll have more 'mechs outside of the campaign.

That's what I wanted, sadly we're pre-Clan Invasion.SODAssault said:
I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. I really hope this turns out well. I'll be busy playing MW Living Legends in the mean time.
I really hope this pans out.
I have very fond memorizes of the old MechWarrior games from when I was young, it'd be awesome to see a proper reboot of the franchise.
