It’s been far too long since there was a true MechWarrior game. I’m not talking about a third person action game like MechAssault. I’m talking about a real in-cockpit sim like the great MechWarrior 2. We’re finally getting it soon, but it’s going to be a Free 2 Play MMO and from the looks of it, the game is going to be a micro transaction nightmare.
The developer announced the Founder deals to net those who really want to be special some perks…if they fork out the cash:
