Get ready to stomp through buildings, blow things up, and get swarmed by enemies ad nauseam.

Launching today, December 10, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a throwback to the days of old. Some of you may even remember MechWarrior 4: Vengeance from 2000, even if it's fleeting. From what I can recall from all those years ago, the premise here remains the same: walk around in a giant BattleMech and shoot all the things.

MechWarrior 5 takes place in the 3100's, and humanity has colonized a region of space called the Inner Sphere, but everything is in chaos, and there are constant Succession Wars between factions.
