BattleTech and MechWarrior 5 are excellent games, licensed by Microsoft. But why hasn't Microsoft itself done much with the franchise?

Owning Mechwarrior is like owning Power Rangers. Theoretically the IPs hold some value, but you ask for ideas for a game not immediately doomed to mediocrity and everyone leaves the room.
You all know what it is, this is Weekly Weakling and I’m here to show you four more awesome games for your terrible rig to get you by for another week. One of these games even requires a tiny bit more power. Let’s do this!

It’s really amazing witnessing the jump from 2D sprites to the 3D accelerated graphics that were powered by 3DFX cards, back in the days. SqueegyMackoy has also included Living Legends, the amazing MechWarrior mod for Crysis Wars. Enjoy!"

Interesting to say the least.
So at least this game can be made specifically for the PC and not get a inferior PS3 or Xbox360 port lacking DX11 effects/tessellation shader model 5.0 etc.
I usually won’t say this. But Mechwarrior needs to stay a PC exclusive. Mechwarrior is a simulation and there is no way a console could handle the complexity of this game.
I've been waiting for a new Mechwarrior game for years! Harmony Gold better not get in the way of this game!
I think the 360 could handle it. Imagine a Far Cry 2 scale of maps with MadCat prawling along, lol! MS should also bring back the MechCommander series, but only for the PC!
If they bring back Mechwarrior, there should be pitch battles this time around instead of the usual lonewolf type of missions, IMHO.
