Mech Assault - E3 Preview

Xbox goes online in November with MechAssault.

What better way to kick off the Xbox?s online component this November than with a mondo mech melee? Developer Day 1 Studios? ultimate battle of the giant robots will enable you to control 12 BattleMechs?or walking tanks?armed with the latest 31st Century weaponry, including lasers, particle cannons, and magnetic rifles. Of course, you?ll be able to modify your steel soldier?s items with equipment upgrades, armor, and jump jets, then fight in the field for ultimate online supremacy. And if you play with teammates, you?ll be able to relay strategies and taunts with voice communication.

Day 1 promises that your battles will take place in totally interactive environments?for example, you?ll be able to meticulously blow away high rises bit by bit. You?ll also be able to damage the side of a building to expose hidden troops or blow up the entire edifice to take out a whole platoon inside, thus saving ammo. Controls will be similar to those of Halo?turn with one stick and strafe with the other?and the view will always be a third-person perspective.
