I found this bit of info to be most interesting.

I suspect that this will only be taken by those with open minds. I understand that many BT devotees see only one color, but I am a man of many tasks.

For those of you who may not already know, Day 1 studios was responsible for the award winning XBOX Live Battletech games, Mechassault 1 and 2. Mechassault 1 was a smash hit and launched XBOX Live. A true masterpiece of a game.

I'm sure that many people here will disagree with that statement.

Perhaps. Not every BT fan is so closed minded, however.

Indeed, but do not expect that many to actually agree with you.

Not to mention that the term 'masterpiece' is highly subjective to begin with...

if we just forget the battletech part for one moment and judged mechassault purely as a 'game' it was a decent game, pretty good simple fun for it's time, when we just want to blow things up and don't want to think too much...

a masterpiece though? Xbox can do better than that for what one might call one of it's 'masterpiece' title...

well...

then again consoles in general don't really have that many titles they can really call 'masterpiece' to start with...

That's the one where PPC's could track you from across the map right?

At least they had explosions which could kill other mechs. Half the fun was trying to get other's in the blast radius.
