    Apparently, we have a serious developer in the PC world. Turn based, officially licensed, by the man who made Btech.

    Color me interested.
    Seems like they are likely going to use art and mech models from MWO, which I don't actually mind.
    Oh, and Harebrained didn't ring bell immediately but they are peeps behind new Shadowruns. Bueno.

    I was hoping this was their next project that they were teasing, and not Crimson Skies

    All they need to do is make 3D Megamek with a prettier interface. Please don't screw this up.

    That will be the test won't it, is this going to have a multi-player sandbox or a single player only experience (I'd still play the shit out of that)

    The little bit I read about implied an ongoing mercenary style campaign with RP elements. There is some serious potential here if they do it right.

    The correct answer would be both.

    Would also be nice to be able to choose eras to play in as well.

    *Insert some corporate talk about how 70% of cash is spent on marketing and why simply having alternative spreadsheets for various eras would be impossibly difficult of a feat to accomplish.

    And definitely both. I'm so saddened by not being able to arrange time for megamek etc. :sad:

    Will back.

    I even liked the idea behind tactics, but i never really seemed solid enough for me to invest in... In hindsight a good idea.

    Well at the very least the shadowrun games were well made and got better over time. If they apply that to these games, they will be solid. I really hope the make at least a single player and a multiplayer after that.

    subscribed. I was in on tactics closed beta (never put down money though), it had potential, but execution was poor to say the least.

    Ok, so ...... most of the discussion in this thread seems to be about a multiplayer game first and the hope for a single player but I have not see any mention there is anything other than single player. Is there a different announcement/info page I missed?
