MechWarrior 5 2009 Debut Gameplay Trailer

IDK how many of you played MW4 online, but this very closely resembles the city map. The action seemed pretty accurate too, so I have high hopes.

Man, I am PUMPED for this game. You can't imagine how long I have been waiting for this. I was a massive MW4 fan as it was the first game I was good at.

Here's to hoping a release date is announced and it is more balanced than MW4 was!

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.

You may be right about that, but MW4 was probably the most strategic fps/3ps I have ever played. The ability to customize your Mech brought tremendous differences. Each Mech type had different things that made them good or bad (high armor, speed, jump jets, what weapons they could use) but then they also had the various weapons you had to put on your Mech, each with their own merits and faults. The amount of customization in this game is unparalleled in any I have seen. I probably spent about as much time thinking and making my Mechs as I did actually playing.
