Mechwarrior 5
-----------------------------------
It's been six years now since the last Mechwarrior game came out.  The license went from languishing at Microsoft to languishing at Smith and Tinker.  It looks like we might actually see a good community made game before we see anything official.

I was reading today about the project Mektek is working on.  They had a http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_MWLL_Catapult_vs_Elemental_02.jpg

If you don't know anything about it, it's a total conversion mod for Crysis.  It's combined arms, with infantry including power armor and elementals,  vehicles, tanks, VTOL and Aerospace.... but with a heavy focus on Mechs.  It seems like they are getting just about everything in that we expect in a mech game.  Customizable mechs, weapon grouping, damage / destruction of limbs and specific mech sections, locking missiles... even with http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_clannergroup_extremity01.jpg

They are releasing http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/albums/userpics/10001/normal_MWLL_LonginusSwarm_02.jpg
