But since you can't customize your Battlemech, you will have to use those horribly refitted SL tech Battlemech, possibly against Clanner with potential no needing due to single player combat.

Sounds fun.

EDIT:

Also, considering customization isn't availabe, I wonder if they will give some quirks like in MWO for some mechs with mediocre build to give them a slight boost or just have it so that terrible mechs are terrible but they are easier to get.

Sure it isn't the most practical 'mech ever designed, but it's a hundred ton axe-murderer. If loving that is wrong I don't wanna be right.

Stock Mechs are less terrible when everyone runs stock. I believe the description is of the campaign, so balancing should be much better. i.e. superior numbers of IS machines vs Clanners (later on). MW2 Mercs had serious limitations and was a great game.

The exact extent to which your 'mechs cannot be customized wasn't incredibly specific, last I checked. Not everything will be stocktech.

There is precisely one aspect of MWO I would like to see duplicated in MW5. Will they implement the cockpit-mounted warhorns that make a celebratory noise each time you get a kill?

Yes, translation from board to computer requires changes.

Why?! i would play the living hell out of a proper Battletech game for PC. Anybody can give me Battletech (and I don´t mean that HBS stuff that has Battletech written on it for show) without crunching numbers? I play it! This way, here!

Have you tried MegaMek? It is a pretty literal interpretation of the boardgame on PC

Guess we see what the systems specs are and how much will be needed to run at this pretty level.

Wow that looks good. I'll need update my computer by the end of the year so it can run that thing.

I hope the mercenary system works as good, if not better, as the game looks. If it does it should be the best Mercs to date.
