Although I have fond memories of MechWarrior 2, I would have to pick Heavy Gear for my remake wishlist.

And this is how that trailer should have gone:

That Atlas was at point blank range, but kept its arms locked completely at its sides. Why? Why does it even HAVE arms!?

Seriously, bring on the melee mechs.

@Chaz – Unlike Battletech, where they fly around with giant axes! Unfortunately, due to the Mechwarrior games deciding that mechs should handle exactly like tanks, all the punching, kicking and tackling have been lost.

It makes the Atlas a very sad mech, as it has these huge robot arms with huge robot fists that can never, ever be used.

The CG trailer looks pretty spiffy. Mechwarrior was always my favourite mech series. Never could get into those silly jap ones where they fly around with giant swords. Here’s hoping they make it similar to Mechwarrior 2&3.

I… I… I think.. I think I… We’ll that’s …

*sniff* It’s so beautiful. Free MW4… MW5 in production…. It’s…

It’s… It’s just wonderful. Even screwed as far as it was, MW4 was the best multiplayer I’ve ever played, when I played in a clan.

@Undead Dolphin Hacker – Plant a det pack in between the Atlas’s neck and shoulders to blow its head off?

Silly Ghost thought he could take on an Atlas. That’s pretty much the point in which you run away.

Better have Elementals and they better play exactly like Tribes and be exactly to scale so you can jump up on some Atlas’s shoulder and… well that’s as far as my strategy has gone so far.

I’m the proud owner of a steel battalion controller (in perfect shape for only 40USD!). I shall go forth and play some MW2/3 and 4 when it’s free (’cause that’s all it’s worth sadly) with 2 sticks, a throttle, pedals and 40 buttons! The way mech controllers should be!!!

I hope the new MW buttons will map well to the controller.

*prays it won’t be simplified for console use, and it remains a PC exclusive*

prays I remain elitist and fail to see where gaming is heading and that console support helps developers achieve wider audiences that will help future projects such as this one.

2 whoops for MW5 and MW4 re-release. MW2 Merenaries is the only game (only MW game that is..) I played right through but it was totally splendid.

I rememeber seeing the CGI intro for MW2 in Virgin Megastores (if it was even called that then?) and being totally awe struck.
