This mentions that the company kicking out M5 also have the rights to CRIMSON SKIES.

A new 360 version of that would be EPIC.

A new anything version of it would.

This is true.

Considering I bought the original on a total whim it turned out to be a little gem. Even the version on the original xbox was great (although didn't do it for me as much as the original).

Something about the setting just did it for me. I would love if they could somehow make a sequel free roam, pirating and trading and ports and stuff.

Aye. Playing through the sequel it was getting like that, but more in a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 type way. If it can go that little bit further it'd be awesome. Actually, it'd be MORE awesome.

I've never played a Mechwarrior game but FREE sounds like a good time to start. When will it be available?

I remember buying TIE Fighter back in the day and MechWarrior 2 was on the shelf with it at a local place called ComputerWare, they sold only Macintosh stuff. I had a Performa PowerPC with Dark Forces, X Wing, Tie Fighter, Rebel Assault 1, 2, it was awesome. Too bad Apple just sucks now.
