Well, I though it looked promising. Although I found the playstyle utilized very frustrating to watch. It seemed frantic and very "ADD".

The guy playing was a terribad, Clydewinder. ;P I thought it looked promising, regardless.

Seemed almost like a bot playing.
I'm still looking forward to the game, that hasn't changed. Would still like to hear about co-op!
Battletech TBS game is moving along. Shooting for early 2018.

MW5 web site has updated.

If this thing delivers what they promise, I’ll be set gaming-wise for a very long time.

Woohoo! Sucks to wait a year, but Battletech will be out before long.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is coming December 2018, will have 4-player co op
By Steven Messner 2 hours ago
Return to the Inner Sphere and run your own mercenary company.

During MechCon 2017 in Vancouver, Piranha Games president Russ Bullock took to the stage to announce that MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, the return to a singleplayer sim-like MechWarrior, is coming in December of 2018.

MechWarrior hasn't had a proper singleplayer game for over 15 years, but MW5 marks a return to form. When I visited Piranha Games in the summer, Bullock said that this would be "the same kind of action simulator that people have been wanting for 15 years." Ditching the linear campaign of the main MechWarrior games, Mercenaries will feature a more sim-like campaign where players run their own mercenary company and can explore the Inner Sphere and fight for its Great Houses however they like.

MechWarrior 5 will also have Steam Workshop mod support and 4-player co op. Bullock says that, instead of using AI teammates on a mission, you'll be able to recruit a friend to join your lance.

I had a chance to play the latest build of MechWarrior 5 at MechCon yesterday and really enjoyed my time with it. Despite some weak AI, it's chunky combat feels extremely punchy and fun. Bullock even found me today to say he agrees about the demo's weak AI and assure me it was one of the highest priorities for the team.

4 player co op.

hell yeah

You went to MechCon, Kryptonite? What's your MWO name? 4 player co-op would be pretty cool.

No, I've never been to a convention of any kind. LOL
Haven't played MWO in a couple of years now, I just couldn't keep up playing once or twice a week and got fed up with it.
Defcon Won in the game though. There is an inactive Raw Kryptonite, but that was borked early on in the beta and I had to create a new profile.

Well hot damn!

Wow the sense of scale is impressive

So much potential for a game to play for years!
Get the campaigns, merc group, co-op and wars right and this could go on forever. Weekly MW might make a comeback?
I hope they plan on reeneacting events and continually offering new mechs and tech so you can play eras as you like.

Just watched that last video linked... At 2:00 the map looks just like the ones from MW3!

Honestly, keep the engine from MWO and simply port over the MW: Mercenaries whole cloth and I'll be happy!

Can’t come too soon! This and Battletech look amazing.

Cool!

Mechwarrior night needs to make a comeback when this is out!
