Nice pilot story there.

41+? Really? Man, you're being harsh. I don't know that I've ever been in the top age category ever.

Oh well, I can drink while I play, I pay all my own bills, and no one tells me that it's bedtime because it's a school night, so there's that.

I am 24 and I do the same. Maybe we should change the poll to "I earn enough to make a living" "I have kids" "Retired" "School " "Uneployed" etc

Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway.

Wow a lot of old people play this!

See a few others have chimed up already... but...

Watch who you're calling old... LOL

Not saying anything, but IMO from past jobs... it's the "old guys" that usually get the job done while the "young guys" show up and expect to get paid for taking breaks...

Now... Where'd I put my cane!!

I actually prefer having an older target audience for the game. I like to pretend that it means I get to play with more mature team mates.

In my day we had to walk 20 Miles in the snow to get to our mechs and they didn't have Armour like you kids today our mechs where wooden, and we didn't have lasers or any other witchcraft our catapults were catapults! and you could buy a whole ham for a nickle...

Are we suppose to add or subtract anything for fudge's sake? I don't know many younger folk who want to cop to the fact that they are under sixteen, but then I also don't know many folk over sixteen that would freely admit to being this involved in a video game. I got some weirdo peeping my profile who claims to be nineteen, but then he lists a lot of interests that seem to fit a pissed-off thirteen year old a lot better.

I just don't know what to believe.

I consider myself a kid, but confess to have played the table top as well as Car Wars and Ogre (if you know them).

There is no age limit on being a "kid". And yes I was an "experienced" gamer when both of those came out. Use GEVs to take out the treads of the Ogre and it's just another pillbox...

[TomTheBomb]

26.... wait no, 28... crap, I have to do the math again

[Luighseach]

Everyone talking about age thought I would chime in. Usually at 22 I'm at the older edge in gaming. Most of FPS games I play I tend to be older than most.

In World of Warcraft and Starcraft I was on average with most people I played with.

But I always had a soft spot for Mechwarrior. I remember walking through the store and seeing Mechwarrior games but knew my computer was too old to play them(MW3) until I finally bought MW4 with some Christmas money just to again realize my computer was too bad(family was always 8 years behind on computers) I remember running a win95 computer till 2004. I also didn't get and XP computer till 07 But luckily I had an uncle that had a computer to run it and a joystick so he installed it and let me play. I didn't get much time in but i learned a little about setting up mechs and stuff didn't get much in the story since I would usually only have 30min at a time which would be twice a month if I was lucky.

Also I didn't own a Xbox so I didn't play Mechassault except when a older friend of mine showed it to me(which was funny because I tore him apart).

So now that I saved up and bought a okay computer I was ecstatic when I found out a new Mechwarrior game was on the horizon.

All I can say is some of you might have a longer and better story about this game but mine is just remembering the days of telling my mom I DON'T WANT TO GO YET.

So Comparatively to the rest of you I might be younger and less experienced in the Lore and the all that is Battletech but I've got history with the game. A history I didn't and haven't forgotten cause really when a game sticks with you its just sticks.

On a side note my uncle didn't have internet so I never played online.
