If you're expecting a great 3D mech game in MechWarrior II you may really be 
disappointed. According to an article in Computer Gaming World month before 
last they tossed the whole team and original concept out and are doing Mech 
Warrior II as a 2D (maybe a forced perspective...anyone know??) game.  Big 
disappointment. Apparently the design team for MWII bit off more than they 
could chew.
