NO!!! Not another frakking reboot!

This is set at the end of the 3rd, and beginning of the 4th, Succession War.

No MadCats, no Elementals, no clan streak missiles ...

If I wanted to play classic Battle Tech, I would have bought in on BT 3025.

I'm sure it's going to be a great game, visually and gameplay wise, especially if they got input from the guys at BattleTech.Com and MekTek, but I'm going to miss all the Clan technology and lostech.
Hopefully they will make it a full armored combat simulation, not another FPS.
Hopefully these guys will make the game moddable, so MektTek can rip it apart and rebuild it like they did with MW4 Mercs.

Yeah I'm kind of wishing it'll either be modable or at least user extensible, especially into a MMO for team v team play...
