Apologies if I missed a thread but anyone seen this and looking forward to it?

I used to love mech commander as a kid, adored it and this sounds like the sequel that never was with large parts of the same Dev team.

Anyone getting it?

I always used to replay the first mission loads as there was a secret path and if you took it you found a base and fought a Mad Cat, defeat that for salvage was a huge boost.

I hope they keep the pilots with some character as well, that added a real sense to want to save your mechs to the game

I remember when the pilots died, it felt like a high loss. TBH they could re-release mechcommander 1 it 2 with better textures and I'd be happy.

Amen. I always hoped GoG would pick it up but they never did

Damn you!!

If you buy it today can you get EA? If so might just punish my overdraft a little more

It may just be the terminology of people getting mixed up and not remembering the old games properly but for my piece of mind; this is more mech commander (tactical overview and control of multiple units) than mech warrior (piloting a single mech, FP view etc) correct?
