Games you miss and want back

[caravel]

I can only echo some of my fellow "Mechwarriors" here. Basically M$ need to sell the franchise off to someone that can do more than just make pretty arcade games. From MW3 onwards the series has been a complete mess. Mechwarrior 2 was quite simply the pinnacle of the Mechwarrior games and none of the later titles have surpassed it.

What is needed is a new MW sim based on the old MW2 with greater flexibility and improved physics. There is no need for crap animated cutscenes and an RPG style interface with silly characters engaging in personal struggles. What is needed is better chassis customisations, a greater range of chassis, more involved controls and piloting, better single player campaigns and vastly improved MP play modes.

Mechcommander was a great game, had great potential and could have been developed into something much better, instead we had the substandard Mechcommander 2...

There are so many.... I sometimes think they are so hung up on graphics these days that they have forgotten how to actually 'write' a game.

Shogun... and Medieval, too... I lack access to both.
