Looking forward to this!

BATTLETECH - Tactical 'Mech Combat Returns to the PC this April!

Loved playing MechWarrior 4 20 years ago (MechWarrior 5 coming out this year!), and I like turn based stuff like this (XCOM2).

Got my keyboard, mouse, and monitor upgraded, as well as my CPU and video card.. :biggrin:

It's looking good. I'd still like to see a sim style Mechwarrior like the old days too though. However this could be a good PC version of the tabletop game.

hmmm...looks like a mix of FPS & RTS.

could be interesting! :thumb:

edit - I miss Mech Commander. wonder if I could get that to work on Win 10... h34r:

90% downloaded.. Hearing about lots of bugs, like GPU running at 100% (memory leak, whatever that is)..

Finger's crossed!

I'll keep an eye on this. I'm still working through Xevens X-mas gifts right now, but I was a Titanfall 2 fan (and Mechwarrior back in the day).
