  • Who wants to talk about Mechwarrior 5?

    So if you haven't heard the news, MechWarrior is back. Honestly, I think this site would be a good one to talk about it on seeing as the previous Battletech game was involved in... stuff and I don't want to get into that.

    If you've never heard of MechWarrior, don't worry, it isn't some Japanese BS, these are western style mechs. (if you have you can skip this)
    GIANT
    FUCKNG
    WALKING
    TANKS
    we're talking from speedy little fuckers like the 20-ton locust that can rip your face off with a laser at 130 KPH to 100-ton MONSTERS like the atlas whose arsenal rival that of the Yamato. MechWarrior lets you pilot these mechs (its based off an old board game called Battletech, which had a game released a year back or so). Mechwarrior 5 is a Mercenaries game, so while there is a story, you mainly start out with small mechs, do contracts, get money, and upgrade etc. but this game will have full blow co-op multiplayer. So I really want to grow a community for this. This game looks really good so please ask any questions if you're interested.

    I'll put some links here:

    Release Trailer with gameplay from different weighted mechs': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16FT94GTEzo
    Destruction Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqtebt0DBOo
    There are more out there but these 3 are the ones that give you the closest look.

    There has been a bit of a resurgence of Battletech products, with the new starter kits releasing, to the Battletech game, to MWLL getting updated more, and now this, so I hope we can expect more.

    Now for those who do know, I want to know your thoughts? Do you think Phirahna will do a good job or screw it up? What do you think about the hangar bay and multiplayer features, what do you think about the destruction, what do you think about the targeting reticle? Do you want to see the ability to pilot vehicles? Do you think the gameplay looks too slow (i think it kind of does)? Honestly talk about anything I just really want to talk about this game.

    Oh man, I had a demo of one of the earlier Mechwarrior games when I was a kid! Can't for the life of me remember which one it was, but it had access to a skirmish sort of game mode so I would spend ages customising my mechs in different ways and trying them all out to see what was the coolest. Thanks for posting this, I'll definitely be checking this out.
