Wow I've been a really big fan of the mechwarrior franchise since I was little. I really enjoyed playing Mechassault on my old xbox and now I see that Mechwarrior online, which looks bloody amazing, is not coming on 360. Why is that?!?!

Frankly, why would ANYONE bother making any mmo simulator on xbox? I am not saying it sucks (it does, compared to my PC, but it only sucks because I need what PC offers me and xbox doesn't), but the difference of genres and and progressivity of development speaks highly for the PC platform. On Xbox, which is right now ancient and painfully outdated, playing any MW title would be a suffering which wouldnt even pay for itself (e.g. the very reason why MW5 was cancelled, not enough people would buy it).

Well it is a GOOD thing its not on a bloody console. Mechassalt SUCKED. As for reasons that have already been stated by people, mouse and keybord are MUCH more congruent to FPS titles and most sims. Very rarely do you ever find a game that works better on a controller then it dose a computer.

If you REALLY want to use an xbox controller just get a wired controller and plug it into your computer, Windows already knows it and how to use it no added drivers needed.

Can some one please explain to me why having a completely different game -mechassault- on a console would, apparently, automatically make Mechwarrior suck? that's like saying because Spyro the Dragon is on a console, Call of duty would suck.

...annnnnnnnnnnnnd we're done

This thread has gotten a little crazy and realistically serves no purpose other than to rage feed each other.
