Pilot the most powerful weapon of the 31st century, a 40-foot tall walking tank called a BattleMech. MechAssault is a 3rd-person action/shooter, where environments are not only fully destructible, they're your weapons. Get prepared for the ultimate multiplayer online experience.

If they're running low on ammo, they can drop a 20-story building on the infantry and save the firepower for the big guys.

# A powerful array of devastating walking tanks. To pilot the most awesome piece of military machinery ever created, players choose from unique and formidable BattleMechs, each with enough firepower to level a city — literally.
