Sounds like a great deal they made :)

 

 I would probably be a hardcore MS & 360 fanboy if they had not closed down FASA Studios and was still pumping out MechWarrior and Mech Commander games every other year.  It was such a shame to see them go. :(

 

 

ever heard of smith and tinker?

Yes I have heard of them,  I heard that they purchased the rights to the Battletech universe and all of the MechWarrior/Mech Commander naming rights as well.  But What are they going to do with it?   Is it going to be a console game?  PC Game?  If it is a console game, I just hope it isnt like MechAssualt,  it was poorly implemented in my eyes.  No customizable Mechs and a very limited number of them as well.  A PC game wouldnt bother me since I am in the process of getting a high end gaming PC, mainly so I can play the MechWarrior Crysis Mod.
