Assault Tech 1: Battletech, or AT1:BT for short and as better known, is an independent, non commercial Activision's MechWarrior 2 series remake using a more advanced DirectX 7 graphics engine, BlitzBasic's Blitz3D ( Blitzbasic.com )
Not only it includes aspects from the classic game, but combines the best gameplay details from the three most popular MechWarrior games (Mechwarrior 2/3/4) as well as it implements new Classic Battletech rules that were long awaited by most die-hard Battletech fans, and looks forward to include even more control over other types of units aside from the well known 'Mechs.
Like in the classic game, the storyline-timeline is based around the refusal war between the Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf and also currently including its post-war expansion: Ghost Bear's Legacy.

Good looking! I am getting this later on. Demo was pretty cool.
will be relased level editor ?
and what about multiplayer ?
Yes to both.
it's been a while guys
Huh. I don't seem able to name or save custom variants. Otherwise, appears to be a worthy successor. Can't wait for multiplayer, already have three people lined up to play with.
To make "save custom variants" Load the base unit you want to Mod in the MechLab Than 1st thing push the "Copy" Button. This will give you a prompt where you can put in the Custom Name of the Unit. Then you can Edit the mech and Save it.
On a Side note Please read the Readme.txt for more info on the Mechlab.
That seems like a roundabout way to do it, but thank you.
It is worth noting that as an indie game developer myself, I've experienced the fact that people tend not to read readme.txt, or indeed, any text files included with a release. They seem to prefer formatting, or at least a default manual. Just a suggestion for the future - bloody things take forever to put together.
When I try to load up the game I get this error message:
Memory Access Violation
I've tried running it as administrator. Need help here guys!
Why did I lose my entire control scheme after an hour of play?
