Title: Mechwarrior (the reboot!)
Post by: Takiro on October 13, 2011, 10:39:43 PM: Hey folks, in case you haven't been following Twitter or CBT it looks like the Mechwarrior reboot might be back in production again.

It has been a few years since we saw that fantastic trailer of a Kurita invasion of a Davion world in 3015 were a Warhammer battles it out with a few Mechs. It looks like things might have changed if you put credence in the twitter feed which has several reports from 3048 which could indicate a change in setting. We are getting fragmented pictures of a poster which is an obvious tease but for what?!

I'm getting my hopes up and wanted to let you all know. ;)

Pretty sure the teaser pics are an Atlas.

Mechwarrior Online

Kinda disappointed as I'm not that big of an online fan. It will be available on the PC I also hear.

Thoughts? Comments?

...Um. Yeah, come to think of it, the box is 4 years old this year. Damn. :'(

Post by: Knightmare on November 08, 2011, 09:00:02 AM: Well, it's also not entirely free. There are pay options that will enrich your account for limited period of time. Like say, upgrading your IS 'Mech for a Clan Mad Cat, etc. Still, I registered my pilot name. Why not? At the very least I'll be on the ground floor to see how the game develops.
