I couldn't help but make this post. I am a huge fan of the Mechwarrior 4 series, i still play the games now. I just need to say that though Mech Assault is kind of cool, it totally is ruining Mechwarrior, and the good name of Battletech. Microsoft needs to start production of Mechwarrior 5 and stop the Mech Assault series at 2 games, which is plenty enough. Mech Warrior is such a better quality game then Mech Assault, and if microsoft would go back to Mech Warrior, upgrade the graphics, put in new mechs, and pick a very good story line for a change, i would be a very happy child.

Sorry about my ranting, but it just had to be said.

Mechwarrior wont work on Xbox, imagine how disasterous that would be. Mechassault is a great game. Its not suppossed to be like other Mech games, its an arcade shooter, so if you go into it thinking that you are playing a Mechwarrior game then you will be dissapointed. And they never said they stopped making Mechwarrior games, there might be one in production right now.

First of all, i never said it had to be an x-box game, even so, look at steel battalion, that sure works on the xbox. And microsoft did say that they were stopping production of mech warrior to work on both mech assault and crimson skies. Not that they are bad games, i enjoy both games, im merely saying i wish they still continue the Mechwarrior franchise. PC would probably be the best choice for the platform, unless they come up with some awesome controller like steel battalion.

MechAssault is okay but will never even begin to be comparable to even MW3. Taking the entire element of salvaging out of the game was a huge friggin' mistake!!!!!

The only improvement was being an elemental and that was still -blam!-.

I agree MechWarrior is much better than MechAssault (the 2nd and 3rd were good, especially Mercenaries, IMO the 4th sucked in comparison). But Mechassault is suppossed to be an arcade game. Mechwarrior wouldnt work on a console, period. The reason Steel Battalion worked was because it had a huge controller and a $250 price tag. Acually it didnt work, because a small amount of people ended up buying it and it has horrendous gameplay and lag problems.

And franchises cant go on forever. If they were to make another Mechwarrior game it would be the same as Mechwarior 4, no new ideas. Every franchise has to stop sometime, so you might as well get your tears out of your system now.

MechWarrior is far superior to MechAssault. Assault was just a boring romp through the traditional sci-fi action game, they just changed the t-blam!-s is all. I'm so goddamn sick of games like that! Warrior was more like a sim, had more believable characters and stories, and didn't have music that sounds like a cat with a car alarm up its ass being scraped across a blackboard.
