Battletech nerds rejoice? Mechwarrior 5 being worked on?

[Reverend Joe]

Y'know, you can release your nerd rage all over me if you want, but I always thought that Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries was the most fun (not the actual Mechwarrior 4; that one was kinda dull.) I mean, granted, playing with a real joystick is fun, but I never had either the money or the room on my desk for a joystick, so the second and third games were really hampered for me; plus I never got Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries. The fourth game just worked the best with what I had. Personally, I just wish that the Mercenaries missions had been more extensive and possibly sandboxier; I wouldn't mind playing a few hundred missions per game, even if it meant many of them were "stock" missions randomly created (hey, war is hell, and it can be kinda boring too.) I guess the 'Mechs could have also been "clunkier" as Whacker so eloquently put it.
