Battletech Revised

BattleTech Revised Project

Our mission is to resolve the issues that plague table top to video game conversions of BattleTech. We believe this is best done by putting gameplay and the spirit of the lore first and foremost in our minds. BTR is a complete revision of gameplay balance while adding economic, simulation, and map quality of life additions that you have come to expect. We are not beholden to the minute details of the table top,  but instead are revising all weapons as inspired by HBS's vision. The results of these changes provide the player with a real choice in every aspect of the game - making everything that was formerly useless actually good while reigning back overpowered and obvious choices.

Why BattleTech Revised?

We know you love the rich lore of BT and want the enemy mechs to keep the classic stock loadouts that we have played with for decades. Yet, the more we play with these mechs in a modern BattleTech game we inescapably conclude in our heart of hearts that these cherished loadouts are useless in a game rooted primarily in mech against mech combat. Our adjustments allow us to preserve the fundamental character and intent of these mech builds while giving them targeted upgrades to fully realize their roles and become truly fearsome on the battlefield! This balance was achieved by making particularly weak equipment and weapons lighter and toughening up stock designs, upgrades that are more important than ever when mech-based warfare is the primary order of business. Now you are no longer punished for deploying your favorite mech using its stock loadout, and the OpFor isn't just a pushover relying upon poorly armored and terribly specialized mechs.

Of course, creating value in the stock designs is hugely important for game balance, but having mechs feel different and interesting significantly adds to the excitement of acquiring a new mech from your hard-fought salvage. To really drive home their distinctiveness and aid in their competitive balance, we have handcrafted quirks based on the lore of each unit, strengthening weaker designs and weakening those that are particularly overpowered or meta. As a prime example, the Commando was a deadly sniper in the lore, but in the base game it is little more than target practice. We wanted to recapture the idea that this light mech had the cap
