BATTLETECH Screenshots

[HBS_Dagger]

A sneak-peek at some shots from the game's opening cinematic, which introduces the BattleTech universe.

Kamea Arano, leader of the Restoration and rightful heir to the throne of the Aurigan Reach, at a pivotal moment in the story campaign.

Director Santiago Espinosa addresses his troops during a story cinematic.

Screenshots from one of the early missions in the campaign. (Check out a full playthrough of this mission here!)

Your Mercenary outfit's Leopard-class DropShip, and your starting base of operations in the campaign.

An early conversation with your command crew. Things didn't go so well on that last mission...

Docking with a JumpShip for passage to a nearby system. (Hopefully the contracts are more lucrative there!)

The contracts board - where you'll decide what work to take next, and negotiate payment.

The MechBay and MechLab, where you'll spend plenty of time refitting and customizing your BattleMechs.

What's this, a bigger ship? About time! Here, the Argo has already been partially repaired and upgraded - its hull is even more ragged and exposed when you first acquire the ancient ship.

When you look into the detail in some of these screenshots, it isn't that they look fantastic that gets to me, it's that I see so many parts of the campaign just sitting there, tantalising me with their titbits of information and my desire to know more is rising.
Thanks.

In that second-to-last screenshot, of the Blackjack in the mechbay... I really wish I could make that tooltip window move to the side a little so I can see what the difference is between the Diverse Optics laser and Intek laser. I don't even really care what the differences are, I just need to know.

I think everyone is just hoping for a release some time soon. I rather wish we could still play the old beta till the full release.

 

[Fox the Apprentice]

I tried to play the videos, then realized that the play button was for the campaign continuation (in the screenshots)

 

[Axlatl]

Wooo! it's getting closer..... Now just need an exact date hopefully at least a couple weeks in advance I have vacation time and definitely plan to use some when this releases!

 

[Smerkr]

Weee can’t wait!

 

[Samskara]

Has anyone noticed the pictures of the Leopard have a time stamp of week 54 day 3, while the Argo is time stamped week 3 day 5?

Does this mean it is possible to complete the game without getting the Argo?

Maybe the Argo is just a temporarily/starting ship before moving onto bigger or better ones.

The Leopard is our starting ship. The Argo is acquired later in the game (we don't know exactly when, but presumably not too far in) and is our merc unit's permanent home.

Haven't really gotten into depth on which or what we get in the end or start, but that's helpful.

It's probably not total time, maybe amount of time in system or something?

I assume the Argo is embedded in the campaign. The only way not to get it would be to ignore the story campaign. I'm not sure how much you can expect to do with only six mech bays though.

Talk about the ultimate Ironman mode.
Hey, someone let @Prussian Havoc know. I’m sure he will want to try at some point.
