Hell Yeah ;D Looks like a remake of Phantom Crash. It even has the side dodge ^.^

The environments and models look really good, smooth animations too.  Almost looked like cry tech, till I saw the block particles.  I wonder how their physics are and controls?

Be interesting to see what the final product comes out like.

I can see some hiccups every so often, most noticeable when in flight. Hopefully they can iron those out, because otherwise at the very least it is a lovely looking game.

That being said, not much was shown but combat. There are many aspects I would like to be able to control in a mech game, such as armaments, equipment, etc. I certainly hope they allow you a nice level of customization.

Also, I wonder if this will just be a pure multiplayer title or if they will take the time to carve a single player or co-op experience. Co-op would be an awesome thing if they could wing it.

Take into account, it's not even in beta yet, so it's still got a ways to go.

This is one of those games I'm all "OMG WANT TO PLAY", but because of development times in games, I usually fanboy over it for a short period then forget about it until the game Launches.

A real shame Mechwarrior 5 never came around.
