I found out that a Battletech MMO is being created.

It uses all 3025 technology. This isn't Mechwarrior.

Those graphics look like ass... but it has potential...

That looks just like the beta for MechWarrior:3025 that EA was putting together to be a MMORPG as well. They scrapped it years ago. The graphics weren't even great then, but the way that the game worked in regards to the houses was cool. You could basically decide where to drop based on where the fighting was. Your house got more exp based on what you possessed in the way of territory. It was cool, but I think that these people are just using the same code...which needed a lot of work at the time.

A lot is mentioned about the old EA game in the forums. The thing here is that the game is being built by fans as opposed to company coders. The estimated Open Beta on this is in August. I am moist with anticiaption for this.

Wow. That looks terrible.

I guess you have to really be a Fan to overlook the poor graphics. I can't blame them because like I said earlier this is being put together by people who love the game, not M$ or FASA or Whiz Kids.
