As someone who games on both, I can tell you they both have advantages.

So.... only 3 sims have ever come out? Poor Rise of Flight.

TrackIR yes... clickable cockpits is a fetish.

Which I enjoy.

Mechwarrior is my game. As an Avid Battletech player, league MW4 player, someone who flew across the states to meet their Clan, I can say I have been monitoring this since the Twittered getgo, and since the 2009 teaser.

I'm very optimistic that they will take the BattleTech route. I think they know that league game play is where its at. This has a big chance to be the Mechwarrior that Simmers will love. They could totally blow it. But the way they speak, if you're a BT or MWarrior lover, you hear it going in the right direction.

Think RoF, with buyable chassis. I'm hoping that's what we get.

This is PC only I believe.

Let's hope that they learn the lesson from the Mechwarrior 5 and keep the disputed Mechs out until the game is up and running. I would love to operate the Warhammer and others but there's a lot of models available so that we can get them the money required to get those disputed models in.

I've always wanted a mechwarrior Arma2 mod. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills or time to make one myself. The game engine just screams for big mech tactical mayhem.

As for the MWO, I'm thinking that it may possibly be the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise. If this flops, I probably will not see a mechwarrior simulator again in my life time. Let's hope that they do a good job of it.
