Battletech pre-alpha footage released

Battletech by Harebrained Schemes. Looking immensely promising even with a lot of features still missing/unfinished. Not sure if many are following this game or have backed it, but it's looking to have some decent potential if they can get all the details down.

Made by the creator of Battletech and Mechwarrior, Jordan Weisman. Full story campaign, PVP multi, and (I believe) open to mods.

Anyone else looking forward to this?

turn-based tactical RTS set in the Battletech universe?

I'm sold!

@mrbojangles25: yea same, this is one of the few games I've backed on KS. Hopefully they'll ratchet it up a few notches in the presentation department (meaning make the combat look more visceral and hard hitting), but I don't know when that's done in development. I think this is releasing late next year so it has a ways to go still.

Turn-based makes it look slow and boring :(

@FelipeInside: yea turned based tactical games tend to move slow. I'm more worried about how the combat will appear more than I am how often it will.

Pfffffft. When has Battletech ever been turn based? I put a hex on this game!

They should have just made the combat like mechcommander, this looks too slow and boring.

Combat in front mission looked way more intense than this for a turned based game...

Mechcommander-style gameplay would have defeated the purpose.

Looks good to me, I'm currently enjoying mw online. Any new game in that uni is on my radar
