They say they are making it as close to the tabletop as possible, so does that mean turn based combat like MechCommander? Will there be roleplaying elements like leveling or characters and skills, as well as out of mech gameplay?

So will this be Battle Ground Combat, or more MMO style?

It appears to be first person real time, From the trailers and dev blog.

I suspect it's more like a World of Tanks kind of thing .... but it would be great if it morphed into something like this: http://mwomercs.com/...namic-campaign/

I suspect it will be real-time, but that to-hit calculations, damage rolls and such will be done server-side to prevent client-side cheating/hacks (that plague many FPSs). I'd be surprised if it was a true point-and-shoot FPS-style game.

If it's not a FPS or 3rd Person.. I'm not playing. Simple as that.. my loss but Mechwarrior to me is all about POV - feeling like I'm there.

It's already been officially stated the game will start as first-person only.
