Knight at Arms
Looks like something's being done, and it's not the ******* of gaming that was Mechassault.
Check it out.
I'm just glad that it's not Mechassault, but I don't even know if it will be better than Mechwarrior: Living Legends.
I hope they give us the customization that MW4 had (at minimum) and hopefully add tanks and planes, or VTOLs. "What's the point of tanks in a Mech game?" you might ask. Well, tanks have 360 degree rotating turrets and they also have boatloads of armor, in the BT universe. For example, a Mad Dog might have 20 points of Center Torso armor while a Brutus, a sort of run-of-the-mill tank, would have upwards of 30 points of front side armor. They also typically carry a much heavier weapons loadout than a 'Mech played out for a similar role. Said Mad Dog is a Clanner Heavy, and it carries two LRM-20s and two medium pulse lasers, along with a couple of small pulse lasers I think. The Brutus is an Inner Sphere Heavy and has two large beam lasers, an LRM20 - these three weapons are mounted on the turret, making them much easier to use - two SRM6s and an SRM2 mounted on the front side. Tanks are quite useful in a long range slugout. Fast and annoying 'Mechs (the Arctic Fox comes to mind) do make jokes out of them, however, as soon as they run up behind them and shoot Inferno SRMs like the wankers they are.
