Hooray! I love Mechwarrior!

I really like how you can see yourself in the Mech's cabin now. Very nice touch.

Also, apparently they're planning on giving away free copies of Mechwarrior 4.

Never really got into this series but that looks pretty fricken awesome.

Was that an in game video or a cutscene? Never know with the interactive cutscene/gameplay stuff they do in new games nowadays.

Wow that was actually pretty sweet. I never got into the MW series either, but I like! Funny how his first round of missles pretty much just destroyed buildings all around the actual target though.

Last I knew this new one was stuck in a legal battle over who owns the rights, may not be finished.

Looks pretty.

Looks boring as all hell, too. Lets stand still and fire at each other!

I don't see how it's any more boring than endless grinding in WoW.

woot!

I don't play WoW either. Nor is one boring game an excuse for another.

It's just a trailer. Is it even in game?

I hope they implement more combat aspects from the tabletop game. It doesn't even need to be more complicated. Not being able to aim your weapons independent of the torso is silly. There's a fanmade Mech 2 remake that lets you aim weapons with the mouse.

I remember seeing that several months ago. It fell off the radar. Ha. I made a pun.

JM, if you stand still to shoot at someone, you deserve to die anyway. Hurr.

The trailer was rendered real-time in Unreal Engine 3 but it's just a cutscene.

I remember a lot of people complaining about the pilot being ejected directly up.

i remember taking that huge mech...maybe called dashi? and just outfitting him with the mini machine guns, and when you fired like 30 of those at once it would obliterate anything

Daishi, 100t Assault-class omni mech. Boated ERLs pretty good, too, only the Nova Cat could hold more.
