Let us hope these MW5 guys get it right, otherwise MW:LL will be the only game for true Mechwarriors.

PS: Notice my screen name. I grew up in Battletech and don't take any of this lightly. I came up in Always Faithful battling the Grey Death Legion on Starlancer.com in the first Mech Commander game online with a 28.8k connection. Before that I honed my skills in MW2. I've fought for both the Clanners and the Inner Sphere as a mercenary. I am MECHROMANCER!
I still have several of my Pewter Battletech Mechs and game set. It's not surprising to see such a strategic and tactical game watered down through the years as its released over and over again as a video game. I love the Mechwarrior franchise and will definitely purchase MW5, but IMO this is just one of those games that's better left with the map and pieces left on the table than a virtual reality on the computer or console.
