Sorry about Ghost..

But Chuckie is now registered....

I have a feeling this will be to Mech Commander what MW:O will be the Mechwarrior Mercenaries series.

But both from the same publisher...? Both F2P....?

Whats even more curious is at GDC Piranha looks to be exhibiting with IGP... I would assume now the creator of MW:T will be as well..

I guess this also clears up any confusion as to if PGI and IGP were the same people.... Seems a lot of saturation of one license. Seems to be some sibling love at least between the two games. I wonder if the two "universes" will intertwine.. ?

BTW @MWTactics is thier twitter to quote:

mwtactics will not be a FB Game, no worries

What forums.. I couldn't find any.. ??

BTW do I hear a bit of sibiling rivalary there Paul

Don't fret.. all you guys at PGI are our first (person) love

Chuckie, perhaps you do hear some rivalry seeing as both PGI and the "new" (and by new I mean we just found out) studio are in the same city.

I am calling it now and I want to see it. PGI vs Roadhouse / A.C.R.O.N.Y.M in a best out 2 out of 3 match for both MW:O and MW:Tac with the final battle being a quick game of the table top? (or Megamek?)

This wold be after both respectable products have been released of course

Well potentially might not be as simple as a facebook game, looking into the "Unity" games development tool (appears both Acronym and RHI are very clued up with it) it appears it can create fairly complex online games, i.e. Battlestar Galactica Online and Interstellar marines to name only two.

Work with Unity almost daily, it can indeed create complex games if the people building it know how. Now that it can port out to Flash you might not even need plugin downloads to play this if that's what they want to do with it. Though I'm seriously hoping that Tactical means Tactical and not some sort of really large scale nation building like game... I didn't even really read to much into Battleforce.

Still...that makes 3 Mechwarrior games in one year so far, not bad...much more than usual. Toss in Hawken and we have a lot of robots to deal with.

That would be Mechwarrior Tactical Command

Mechwarrior Tactics is a F2P for the PC..

Gah, the field is too short for my handle, and shortening it was too short, had to go with my name.

[Jaegerwolf]

So my dreams of a lance of Vikings blotting out the sun with LRM fire in a hex based tactical setting can finally come true?

[Jack Gallows]

The implications are massive!

It could just be a Mechcommander type of game...which would be EPIC in an of itself! It could also be designed to eventually tie into MW:O as more then one way to influence the IS as a sort of cross game faction map.

In any case, just excited to see more Mechwarrior games, and looking forward to whatever they want to bring to life as Mechwarrior Tactics!

Best of luck and praise to the team creating it

[Cattra Kell]

It seems that we will be getting a big information update in 6 days (as we know already) but I don't think we will get much else before this. Keep an eye out though folks, I know I will.

[CoffiNail]

CoffiNail will be there too... IF this is anything like MechCommander I am damn excited. Freraking played that to death and back. I remember upgrading my parents PC from something like 4 gigs or ram to 8 to play the game. They had no 4 stick, so they had to switch out the 4 stick and pop in four 2 gig sticks. I get home and the game does not let me zoom. I only had a 1 mb video card when the game needed 2. Fiddled with my driver settings and presto. Ran like hell, but holy founders it was amazing,

[sadamle]

MechWarrior: Tactical Command v MechWarrior: Tactics.

MechCommander was a golden game once
I guess a fps is good but cant cover commander line.
So its better making 3 games 1 rts 1 fps and one mobile
It would help saga itself

[Burned_Follower]

Ok, i've been waiting 10+plus years myself only to "discover" MechWarrior: Online back in January by accident via a youtube video because somebody mislabled the old trailer that came out a few years ago that involved that Warhammer, Jenner and Atlas and called it "MechWarriorOnline" instead of just plain Mechwarrior. I googled the term "MechWarriorOnline" and that's how i stumbled onto this site. So now there's TWO other MW games i'm just now discovering? Arrgh! How can i miss this? lol.

Ok, my next project after making building an awesome PC game just for MWO is to get an ipad. I don't know squat about ipads and the only reason i'm interesed is these MW games. Back when MechAssault first came out, i got the xbox just to play MechAssault 1 and 2. Yeah i know they suck compaired to the MW sims, but that was the best that was available graphics-wise until MWLL came out.

Who here knows exactly what to look for when shopping for an ipad specifically for this game? I don't have a clue what ios means. Is that the OS for ipads or something?

[Exilyth]

Yepp, iOs is apples operating system for mobile devices.

Mhh... makes me wonder... will that other game (the iOs one) get ported to android later?

No that would be Tactical Command by MekTek, this is a all new entity being produced by IGP, the same guys publishing MW:Online

MechWarrior:Tactical Command is being made by Personae Studios out of Singapore, not MekTek. Studio MekTek is working on Solaris Assault Tech.
