GameSpy.com Previews Multiplayer BattleTech: 3025 taking a look at the upcoming installment in the BattleTech series that adds the joy of massively multiplayer combat in a persistent world to the joy of driving your own giant robot. The article features a brief history of the MechWarrior computer games that have come before it, and offers their positive impressions of this one, saying "needless to say, it looks fantastic" (though if it really were needles to say, we wouldn't need a preview). Along the way they look at how the rich BattleTech storyline plays a part in the new game, describes the economic system, compares the visuals to those found in MechWarrior 4, and gives brief first-hand impressions of gameplay after getting to check it out at a press event at EA's offices, saying "The game encourages teamplay and planning, which was often ignored in online play with other Mech games." Also on tap in the preview is an interview with Tony Van, the game's producer, which covers a good deal of detail about how the game will play out, and the story also features eight new screenshots.
