What is MechAssault?[]
MechAssault is a spin-off series of MechWarrior, the lauded video game adaptation of the BattleTech wargaming franchise. MechAssault was developed by Day 1 Studios and released in November of 2002 exclusively for the Xbox gaming console. MechAssault was one of the first battlemech games ever produced for console play, and is best known for being one of the earliest titles to support Xbox Live online multiplayer.
Although the original Xbox live service went offline in 2010, online competitive MechAssault continues to thrive to this day through the usage of original hardware and emulation programs, and extensive use of the XLink Kai service. Nearly two decades since the release of the original title, MechAssault and its sequel Lone Wolf continue to be played online and enjoyed by people around the world.
What is BattleTech?[]
BattleTech is a wargaming and science fiction franchise launched by FASA Corporation in 1984, acquired by WizKids in 2000, and owned since 2003 by Topps. The series began with FASA's debut of the board game BattleTech and has since grown to include numerous expansions to the original game, several computer and video game adaptations, a collectible card game, a series of more than 100 novels, an animated television series and more.
Who created MechAssault Wiki?[]
MechAssault Wiki was founded on July 29, 2008 by Genral Heed with technical assistance from Wikia (now Fandom) Staff member Kirkburn.
Who runs MechAssault Wiki?[]
MechAssault Wiki is presently overseen by Bureaucrat MadMikeRyan also known as Mickey. Mickey adopted MechAssault Wiki with Fandom's approval on March 21, 2022. Mickey had also been acting as a caretaker for the wiki in an unofficial capacity for 5 years prior to adopting the community.
Past Administration[]
MechAssault Wiki was originally overseen by its Founder General Heed. Although General Heed is no longer an active editor of MechAssault Wiki, they still browse through wiki content from time to time and have spoken with current Bureaucrat MadMikeRyan. Following General Heed's departure, MechAssault Wiki lacked a Bureaucrat for several years until the community was adopted by Noble VI in 2012. During Noble VI's tenure as Bureaucrat, MechAssault Wiki saw a rise in quality and much of the framework that the wiki's current state has been built upon was laid by Noble VI. Unfortunately Noble VI is no longer an active user of Fandom after choosing to retire from the network, and following their departure MechAssault Wiki was left without administration for over 9 years until MadMikeRyan's adoption of the community in March of 2022.
