I do not work for Westwood or anyone like that - so do not flame me if I am
wrong, but the "mechwarrior" you saw was only a cutscene from c&c2.  One of the
new units will be a mech suit (so I have been told).  I think that c&c2 will be
mostly the same idea as c&c.
  By the way, if Westwood could come up with a mechwarrior style game with
graphics as good as the ones we saw at the end of c&c - people would probabbly
need something around 300mhz to run it at a acceptable speed.
