Canonicity
Computer games are explicitly excluded from the list of products that contribute straight Canon to the BattleTech universe while at the same time it was stated that the IP owners are "not in total denial about these sources either"; it has also been stated that fluff from certain official, licensed products (namely certain computer games including those produced for Nintendo) can be assumed to be part of the shared universe as long as it is not directly contradicted, and makes sense. On this premise, MechAssault: Phantom War is considered to be an apocryphal product.
