Haven't left. Currently playing MechWarrior Living Legends while waiting. <3
Unfortunately, my brother hasn't touched any mech games since that first one (MW2:Mercs).

I haven't had the opportunity to play anything else other than MechWarrior/MechCommander and MechAssault, as I know no-one with the tabletop or board/card games.

After posting this, it occurs to me that I -maybe- have posted in this topic once before...if I have..oops. most of my memory is pretty crap.

It wasn't long till I got into the TT and the lore, the awesome thing about the TT is that the MW2 construction rules were directly lifted from it.
Hence the reason why I want the TT construction rules to be present for MWO.

I still have all my Battletech Novels ,about 63 or so & loads of Battletech Mech models as well as all the games.More recently i got an old X BOX & i've been playing grinder solo or with my kids in the city.
To say i'm stoked about the mechwarrior online game is an understatement & i'm buying a new PC in a couple of Months so i can specifically play the new game when it's released.You can't beat playing against another human instead of a computer to test your skills?

Something that people often say about mc though, is that it's so hard. I dunno, I think it's quite easy, it's just that you have to, I mean if you're a perfectionist like myself to some degree (unfortunately), restart missions many many times to get some things done right. For example (or pretty much only) making sure you can salvage certain mechs and weapons. The most important ones to me are (well all of em but...) the first uller, first hollander IIc, first mad cat, first catapult, first vulture, first thors and lokis, and then all mad cats and masakari's you come across.
It's not really difficult but it takes many tries. I've finished the game with no ejects, no casualties and almost all weapons from buildings salvaged and all enemy mech chassis, I mean like at least one of each mech eg. timby. I finished it on hard IIRC.
That's why I'm planning on doing a playthrough where I won't retry any mission (unless I fail the whole mission) and try to finish the game and see how well I do. The only instance I would load my saved state is when I'm starting the game and continuing my game...

I now have approximately 2 regiments and 1 galaxy of Mech Mini's and run a game from time to time. We like starting pre-Clan invasion when we have new players. End up however gravitating to the Clans after busting the newbies Clan cherry(as it were)
Favorite Mechs enclude (But are not limited too) for the Clans : Timberwold, Viper, Shadowcat and Warhawk
favorite(But are not limited too) Inner shpere Mech's : Phoenix Hawk LAM, Firestarter, Archer, Warhammer, Marauder, and Highlander
The most fun we've had with the Game is putting experienced players on the Clan side and inexperienced (but supported by inner sphere enthusiasts) in a Double blind game. (doulbe blind for those not in the know is two sets of identical maps with two of each mech(one set for each map) putting the Innersphere side in one room and the Clan side in another room so that no out of LoS units are revealed till they are spotted) My best friend and I go back and forth between the two rooms and move the pieces as they are moved by the various sides and dictate any intercepted radio chatter for the sides. It's fun watching the Inner sphere side name the clan mech's off scans to make it possible for each other to know what the hell they were shooting at.
