Any mechwarrior fans here? It was recently announced that there will be a mechwarrior online game with fps sim aspect from the previous games. Clan support in the form of mercenary companies are a possibility. So far it will be free to play and no monthly fees so it sounds enticing, can't wait to step back into a Madcat lol. You guys excited? :)

I'm a big Mechwarrior fan myself and will be interested in trying this out. The MMO structure, 'unlocks', and 'leveling' are things that probably won't appeal to me in the classic sense of what a Mechwarrior game is, but I'll still give it a try and hopefully it'll be a fun game to play. I'll miss the single player option though as that was always a big part of the games in the series for me.

Ya, the MMO part and everything associated with it is lame, but as long as it retains the fps simulation, customization, and all the goodies from the single player games with the mercenary freeform part, it might show some promise. Happy to know the franchise still lives.

Somewhat late in here, but I'm a MechHead from way back...

I still do some missions in the MekTek updated version of MW4 Mercs. Which, BTW is available for $0 and runs on Win7.

I'd love to see an new Mercs type release of the hardcore sim variety... :cool:

its a shame that the original concept for the new mechwarrior reboot didnt go through due to the legal issues and im not a fan for "leveling" in a MW game where it used to be pure skill and loadouts from what you can afford but ill defo be trying this since i used to play MW3 MW3 Pirates moon MW4 mercs and vengence and mech commander gold which unfortunately does not work on XP for some reason ( very sad panda )

this is a link ot the original concept vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orhOvbfyyJw

I want to assemble a squad of evochron players here for the upcoming mechwarrior online game releasing this year. The knowledge and tactics learned from playing this game will prove valuable when you step inside the terrain walkers in the upcoming expansion. Anyone interested please post here or u2u me.:)

I'm a big Mechwarrior fan. I played to the point of carpal tunnel several years ago when there were plenty of online MP servers to choose from. You could jump into a MP game almost any time of the day or night and kill or be killed.

I still occassionally reinstall each succession of the Mechwarrior games and play through the campaigns. It was probably my favorite game of all time ... but that could change. Jumping around in a Thor or Thanatos with Gauss rifles and auto cannons... what a blast.

I have heard it was coming out but haven't kept up with the news. I'll have to check it out. thanks

purple jenner of doom here - or close and personal atlas - and my lance got sucked into planetside. meh.
for some not entirely clear reason i love this most manly game after warhammer as simple and nerfkilling as it currently can be and need a new one.
