I have played some version of this game off and on since I was kid , starting with the table top version "BattleDroids" . Just wondering if there are any others interested .

There has been a bunch of discussion about this over on the SimHQ BBS and apparently the developers are headed toward the Mech Assault setup instead of the good old Mechwarrior side.

Hopefully they stay true to the old school course and continue building or rebuild the original to modern day graphics and all other associated content. I really enjoyed and still remember playing the first ones on the PC and put them right up there with X-Wing and Tie Fighter as games that need a rework and reboot.

MW5 is dead; from what I heard the lawsuit effectively killed any chance of it ever appearing before us.

I'm reading the associated developers blog and it appears that this game may be the same group that was working on MW5?

Living Legends is from a different group isn't it?  Or are these the same people?

If your gonna fail, do it in such a way that people will be wondering how you managed to do that.

If it cant be fixed with duct tape, it cant be fixed at all.

Was that the game that cost like $200 and came with its own pimped out controller?  I always wanted to try that, looked pretty sweet.
