The improved graphics are nice.

This is what I wake up to each morning!

Those first three reviews are pretty amateurish and insignificant. Only the NGNG review is useful.

I can not wait to play the game.

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

PS: I really hope each DLC is focused in a different Clan. That would be terrific.

EDIT: I saw a Timberwolf punching a mech in a gameplay - that's not ideal. I would disable melee for the Clan AI. Also, I hope there are Elementals and the Firemoth.

Excited about this. Will wait until we can see a bit more of it, but this already smells like a take my money moment.

Everything is fine, the videos are amazing. But the interface... Why is it so big? Why is there a bunch of lines and circles in the center of the screen? Because of them, the game itself cannot be seen.

[Noishkel Hauptman]

Anyone got any idea if the game will be for sale on GOG? I notice that Steam and Epic are mentioned at the end of the trailer, but not GOG. That's where I bought Mech5 after the Epic games exclusivity ended . Seems silly that it wouldn't be for sale over there too.

[w0qj]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly... why no mention of GOG.com ?
I try to buy my games from GOG.com where possible...

I would be seriously annoyed should PGI omit GOG.

April Fools?

[Reno Blade]

I'm looking forward to this new game of Mechwarrior!

[Praetor Andreas]

In terms of the visuals and effects, the game could easily be 17 years old. Is that enough for a PC with the performance of a Playstation 3?

[Hawk819]

In case anyone wants to know: The Firemoth is not the New Mech being released for MW5 Clans.

So forget it.

[PeacockBassSVT]

Very excited. Hope to see some sort of "Clan extension" incorporated into MW5 as well. Cannot wait to see!

[Thorqemada]

Very very nice Trailer!

No GOG no buy!

Mechwarrior forever! I'll buy them as long as you keep making them

[ShootterMcGavin]

Tremendous

[AnAnachronismAlive]

Hold your horses, ladies and gentlemen. Although the story-driven approach is much appreciated, the trailer does not offer enough substance to judge the general quality of craftsmanship regarding story-telling, creativity/variety of missions / objectives, meta-goals (capture, upgrade, clan-trials for potential assets during the campaign etc.) yet. We better take it easy until we get more detailed information / a general feel of campaign play.

[Croaker Munin]

Pre order where???
I want to throw money at PGI!!
