ok so after like ten mech games(not all good) microsoft desides that it is done, WTF.  firstly mech 2 and 4 where great games, and though there were really great aspects to mech assualt 1 and 2 they had alot of room for improvements.  it's been along time, tech is hugely improved and you know what game i feel they need a sequel or a remake of, it's mech warrior/mech commander 1(2 kinda sucked i thought).  any way i really feel that with physics and graphics and AI being where they are there is no  time like the present to bring back one of the best mech franchises ever.  common microsoft and don't half @$$ it either.  the mech warrior/assault games never sold porely so the lack of developement interest is unwaranted.  common microsoft.  imagine playing online leading a squad of teammates through a city that is entirely destructable, but you can't waste precious Ammo or heat signatures to destroy for pure fun, your flee/raven leads the pack with sensor sweeps until he ID's a atlas, everyone circles the atlas as the flea pegs him with the narc beacon, the LRM's rip into the air and he is near finished before the barage is over, the flee circles him keeping in place by over heating him with two flame throwers while the madcat mak 2 moves into position to KO this sucker with a double blast of heavy gauss rifles.  that is why i want a new mech game.  because that and more is possible with todays tech.  and because i really really love the original mech games.
