Yeah I was personally thinking a hidden Star League cache would be a perfect plot device, assuming they did it correctly and not at all like the ones in Mech Assault with the data cores and mystical energy shieldsMajor Tom said:

no, not necessarily. the keyboard is fine, but the controls take longer to grasp. A joystick makes it easier.Simriel said:

On a similar note, it's a damn shame we won't be able to see a Daishi, it being a clan mech
I'm not sure whether I want them to have all the Clan mechs in multiplayer or to just stick to the era, but I'd be willing to wait for reboots of the other games
Oh yes. There's usually more than one reason for any given product's failure. But really, I don't think you can break the BT universe in the ways necessary to make a Starcraft/Red Alert style RTS, without calling into question the game's setting as a part of the BT universe. It would be like giving Kirk force powers and a lightsaber. See also: Mechassault.Khell_Sennet said:
Hows this? They are concentrating more on the console port then the PC port. So expect a dumb down control system, dumbed down mech mechanics, basic FPS play with a few neat hud concepts, and from what I have seen, a lack of heat indicators meaning this may be pure reload time for weapons, which means you can't do the fun option, link all your weapons to one trigger, overheat to near explosion while smearing liquid metal all over your shiney robotic feet.. and according to the developers theres a good chance we won't be seeing clan mechs...Cousin_IT said:
I'm more pissed that with the rise in RTS games that MechCommander 3 is not in production...apoktaino said:
Canon helps to keep a game more immersive though, otherwise all that text is rubbish and the missions are meaningless shoot em ups.McNinja said:I just play the game, I don't pay attention to silly things like dates...Aenir said:...Um, while I too love the Fafnir, I doubt they would have a mech that was built in the 3060s in a game centering around 3015...McNinja said:

Yes because no mechs before the Clan Invasion used the reverse-jointed leg system. You know, except forWhiteTiger225 said:
Yes because mechwarrior 4 Had a large use of physics and a modern physics engine... oh wait.. nevermind... I guess next you will say Khajitt being straight legged was a lore decision in oblivion because Morrowind's "Physics" could handle them collapsing XDAceDiamond said:Yes because no mechs before the Clan Invasion used the reverse-jointed leg system.

Marauder

There are probably others but I'll stop there. Because really, what kind of silly thing is it to say "physics limitations" when we've had mechs with reverse joints since, oh, I dunno, every Mechwarrior game?
