This is the BattleTech game we have been waiting for

Harebrained Schemes LLC has released a video of a super, super, pre-alpha build of the Kickstarter-backed game. The BattleTech demo shows off where the game is at with combat gameplay, including MechWarrior special abilities, reverse movement, damage reporting, and melee. Note that this is more of a showcase video – a sneak peek of a single mission , rather than a good indication of the game’s final build or even gameplay.

Have a look (and screenshots below).
