Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?

[caravel]

I bring you salvation and a firm reprimand.

Never played the 1st Mech game.

Neither have I. It's a very old game.

That said, I still think Mech3 was the best, but only by a small margin. It was everything I wanted in an updated Mech game. Better graphics, sim-like gameplay, same Btech type mech configurations and goodness, and the MFBs and lancemates added a personal touch to the game. I did miss the original bitchin' betty though, the new one wasn't that great. There was nothing nonsense or gimmicky about it. Bad Caravel!

It was awful. I actually think I still have it somewhere along with the expansion pack... or I might have sent it to the charity shop years ago...

The Mech4 games were arcadefests, BUT I still enjoyed them, just not nearly as much as the original 2.

It was quite simply craptastic. I have it somewhere but I'm less likely to play that than even MW3.

Now, for your salvation. http://www.warp13.co.uk/mech2 Just use MW2hook. You need the Win95 versions or Titanium trilogy versions of the game. PM me if you run into problems. I just got done beating all 3 original Mech2 games a month ago after I found that.

Well thanks for that. I will certainly give it a go, if I can come by the MW2 Windows 95 version. I wasn't actually a big fan of Mercenaries or even GBL - it's the original MW2 that is the best for me. I actually have the Mercenaries 3dfx edition, which was only available with 3dfx Voodoo Rush graphics cards...
