I would like both , but as I'm now in the mech phase it would be interesting to get a single player mech game , of any kind ( commander , warrior , table top ) but Russ twitted when shadowrun was coming out too , so it's hard to say exactly what's going on , so

Rumor mill go!

I'm just going to assume it's bad news.

Not setting myself up for disappointment. Even if they did make something like a new MechCommander game, I'm sure it would just be diluted and horrible. I know a lot of people are bitter because MWO isn't a real Battletech game in their eyes, but for my money, I consider it surprisingly faithful to Battletech, in this sad age of gaming where there are few really genuine games out there, built on real artistic integrity.

Even if they did make a Battletech game - which I doubt - I'm sure it would be something like Mechwarrior tactics.

I'm betting on a 'Battletech' title. EA's owned the electronic rights to that name forover a decade and done nothing since MPBT:3025 shut down. Wiesman has said, in the past tha he'd like to revisit MechCommander. I'm kinda hopping for a MegaMek/MW:T/MechCommander like game where the player controls several mech in a top-down Game.

A MechCommander style game would make such an outstanding MMORTS...

For some reason this does sound rather tantalizing, if done right...

Well, Harebrained has made a minimal viability product out of shadowrun and it was fine, a bit lacking in some areas , but it had the meat of the idea ( just not the tehical side of it , heh no real inventory or ability to have drops in the world .. too much code at that point , I hope the expansion gets that in ).

They might be able to create something that works and could be built upon later , though I wounder if they will start with there own money or start some kind of crowd funding as I'm sure some ppl are not as willing to pay after the whole mech tactics deal if it is a BT project...

Personally, I'd love for Crimson Skies to reappear. I really enjoyed the game on PC when it originally came out.

Maybe they are the ones that bought what was left of Tactics.

Hm MWO reddit seems to be talking about Aerotech , the spacefighter part of BT , might have something to do with that too.
