Hi! The game has a steep learning curve, so ask around, check the videos, the community is very friendly. Have fun!

Also, forget everything you might've learnt from Mech Assault as far as gameplay goes - Assault was more arcade-style while this is leaning more towards being a simulation.

everything is wrong in mechassault...i mean playstyle/gamestyle wise. Arcadey and simulation-orange to apple. Better you watch some youtube/streaming for better info.

the battletech genre is 30 years old, many games under it's belt. mech Assault was the one game that didn't fit in. Good game in it's own right, but completely different from all other battletech games.

You'll like this one. =)

[Procrastinating Gamer]

Yeah. Mechassualt played a lot like a normal third-person shooter - this plays more like a tank game.

Hey, your welcome. I was an artist for Mechwarrior4.

I gotta say Fallen Devil is spot-on about Mechassault, that game embarassed true mech fans.

Also, I was told a long time ago that MWO sucked and not to try it. BOY was that guy wrong, I can say, This is a mech game that you can be proud of.

I have never ever had so much fun with a Locust before.

now, If I can just figure out the best controller set-up, I'd be rocking

[:WTF: Grendel]

I remember running a clan on MechAssault2 for Xbox Live, Clan Tru Chaos

But yeah, OP... I've been hooked on BattleTech/MechWarrior since '95. MechAssault wasn't my most favorite because of the style compared to the other MechWarrior and MechCommander titles, but overall had great fun playing those MA games on Xbox.

Why Microsoft just not port Mechassaults to PC?

Not enough of a market - it's nowhere near as well-regarded as the MechWarrior games. Some people might get it out of curiosity or because they enjoyed the gameplay, but there's just not enough potential customers to warrant the work involved in a PC port, especially considering the games' age.

Age, lack of community (I would guess it's a bit smaller than MWO's in porportion to the people interested in anything battletech/mechwarrior which I in turn project to be very small), the fact "one does not simply port" games designed for another platform without the above factors being suitable, that Mechassault on PC might as well be rebuilt into Mechwarrior anyways as Mechassault is Mechwarrior COD/Hollywood/Arcade Style, relative unpopularity when regarded by "pure" Mechwarrior fans that would give about as many reasons why not as a fan could say why, and possibly less related, because people are asking on a steam forum where PGI, let alone microsoft, simply do not care to look, and would not respond to prompting to.

[that guy strife]

There's nothing wrong with Mech Assault, so long you consider it as what it is - a spinoff.

Like Metal Gear Revengeance - it has nothing to do with Metal Gear Solid, yet is a solid game.

People playing Mech Assault may even get in the real MechWarrior games like we see here !

Good stuff Derrick Moore, Mechwarrior 4 was a beautiful game.

Mechassault had very little do with 'normal' third person shooters, which is why it was so successful.

The second game wasn't very good, but the first game was a huge thing from release until they stopped supporting it. You should, like, go read about it before you start talking out of your rear.

MA1 was also way more of a mechwarrior game than MWO every will be. Sad, isn't it?

I'm sad to agree in the context MA1, for its arcade-like gameplay and content that wasn't really mechwarrior (well, it was in the name :p), did a better job to sticking to mechwarrior roots.
