We are still eagerly waiting for the release of Mech Warrior 4. However MekTek have released there distribution software MekTek X for public beta which will be the platform for Mech Warrior 4 and other Mech Warrior games. Released with MekTek X is AssaultTech1: BattleTech a classic Mechwarrior2 remake. It currently only has an offline instant action mode that gives you the basics of the game. However online play will be available some time in the future. Playing it last night was fun once i figured out the controls and gave me a taste for more future Mech Warrior updates and releases. Remember this game and MekTek X is still in very early beta stages so expect some bugs and huge improvements over the coming months.

Mektek.net surely has gotten an overhaul yesterday --- the site now has a brand new interface; it even shows a short animation clip of a Vulture (if memory serves). It also has a link to its YouTube channel.
MekTek.net Releases v2.3 of its Downloadable Mechwarrior 2 Remake - Assault Tech 1: Battletech [IMBACORE]
Celebrating our 10 year anniversary (and BattleTech's 25th anniversary) MekTek.net is pleased to announce the immediate community release of AssaultTech1: BattleTech version 2.3.0 (better known as AT1:BT). Mechwarriors, the wait is over, choose your mech, choose your map, and choose your battle in 'instant action style gameplay, featuring classic BattleTech rules, in this latest standalone installment of MekTek's MechWarrior action-simulator. Since our last AT1 release, 2.3.0 features more Mechs, new weapons, new singleplayer maps and dozens of upgrades to our ICE engine including water, weathering, and vegetation rendering updates. AT1:BT is not only sure to satisfy the Mechwarrior's thirst for battlemech action but is also sure to satisfy any gamer's appetite for mech havoc.
AT1:BT, a classic Mechwarrior2 remake, developed entirely from scratch, combines 'stompin elements from the entire Mechwarrior series. AT1:BT was initially developed by Benzine Studios, later adopted by Studio MekTek Inc. in conjunction with our community effort MekTek.net. For more information about AT1:BT, including new content and previews, visit MekTek at: http://www.mektek.net/.
MekTek.net was founded in 1999 to provide free downloadable content and tools for the Mechwarrior series. In the past MekTek.net's developments were entirely reverse engineered because Mechwarrior3 and 4 are closed source engines. Recently, Studio MekTek Inc. was established in 2006 as a private software development studio specializing in 3D development and provides development support to the MekTek.net community. MekTek's commitment to this project is to continue the ongoing AT1 effort and follow through with the direction set forth by Benzine Studios and continue developing AT1 with these interests aligned.
