Who is psyched about this? Another awesome-looking F2P.

Lots of other good vids there in the media section, and they have a dev blog section with a beta coming up sometime soon as well.
Some might have seen the
reboot reveal and the
teaser trailer already. The cockpit-view stuff from the videos isn't just fluff... this game will be a simulator that will actually allow you to look around your cockpit interior and activate / manage systems by flicking switches and punching buttons.
I was a huge Mechwarrior fan back in the day... really hoping this game lives up to its predecessors. It looks like they're trying to make light / scout mechs useful in matches by allowing scouts to spot targets for bombardment by fire support mechs.
That makes me happy; I have a special place in my heart for the Vulture and Catapult... I've always just loved raining LRMs down on my enemies from afar.
I'm also loving some of the concept art, as well as the repaints done by the community. Something about seeing these mechs again, somehow familiar yet reworked to be even more awesome, makes me feel like a teenager again.
Really looking forward to the beta and seeing how the game turns out!
