"Attention mercenary: This is the Dread Legion. Whatever the Draconis Combine is paying you, we'll double it. Just turn around, and head for your dropship, and we'll take care of the rest."
I always on purposely failed the mission before it (the one with the dropship and/or traitor catapult). Doing that gives you an alternate version of the mission you're describing. In that version, the combine has fucked off, and you discover the reason the Dread Legion betrayed the combine to begin with: That boat holds a star league cache. In the alt last mission of that campaign, there's no such exchange. Why would there be? You both know why you're there. This isn't about the combine anymore, this is just about a huge payday that isn't big enough for the two of you. There's no one left to betray, no bribes big enough to make the other turn back, no words to be exchanged. There's only the cache, a huge payday for whoever gets it, and death for whoever doesn't. Winner takes all, loser dies in the dirt.
IAMELIPHAS really? Never tried... So it's the same boat mission but without the betrayal offer message right? And what about the payment? Omg I want so bad to go back in time and play this game for first time again
Yeah, same boat mission, except no betrayal offer and no combine help. Plus there's a cache inside the ship you have to inspect. Although it _says_ you don't get any payment out of it, you actually walk away with 5mil c-bills, PLUS some very high tech weapons.
OMFG thatr was some of the best dialogue in the game. I seem to recall the Draconis guys getting terse when I looked like I was gonna take the offer saying somn like "Hi there Merc 1 (or whatever) this is your employer...?"
Works with the Modern Warfare 2 radio too. You can replace certain names with 'Mechs if they share similar names. Sounds like a fight against either Taurians or Capellans.
@Sanguivore Luna Saying PGI has an agenda involving politics implies they have anyone with more than 2 brain cells in charge. Their only agenda is to do as little with the IP as possible while keeping it away from others.
All this guys music or remixes are incredible. I was playing Mech 5 recently and like others in the comments said, if this music was in the game, it would automatically make Mech 5 a 10/10.
This is top, great to hear the old MW2 music getting love. MW2, GBL, Mercs, and Interstate '76 all lived in my car for years so I could play the music while driving.
Great work as always Tim. I've been listening to your stuff at least every couple days for years now...And always mute Battletech's OST, while playing a mix of yours. Thanks for doing my single favorite track in the Mechwarrior games as well.
Old comment, I know, but BattleTech's soundtrack was just "meh" for me... There were one or two songs that I liked but they got old after a while. I put on the MW2 OST for the final mission and muted the in-game music. That was the right call, gave it a lot more gravitas
YYYAAAAASSSSSSSSS. Your Mech 2 Mercs covers are probably my favs of your work (your take on Freedom Fight is killer). Remember watching the closing cinematic that has this track and getting chills.
Already supported once for the first album. Is there a second album confirmation? Would be absolutely pleased to support this CONTENT in order to get moar. Need moar.
Warning! Lyran scout lance coming in hot! Forward elements report it is indeed a scout only lance! 2 Hauptmanns with one Atlas and a Fafnir! Classic LCAF scouting tactics...
*Scouting* for other factions: send in a light lance to gather information... *Scouting* for the LCAF: send in the heaviest lance you have when they expect a light lance gathering information, and maybe gather what's left...
Remember there is a Battletech tabletop game. Your experience is not complete without it. In 2018 they revamped the tabletop so miniatures are top quality and other materials are great too. No more cheap miniatures and cheap materials. There are 2 flavors: * Battletech beginner box. 2 greatly sculpted plastic miniatures (Griffin and Wolverine). Simplified rulers for casual players. One two sided map. * Battletech a Game of Armored Combat (BaGoAC): Standard rules. 54 pages of rules. 8 miniatures. Commando, Catapult, Locust, Thunderbolt, Wolverine, Shadowhawk, Battlemaster, Awesome. If you find the standard rules intimidating, look for "Battletech fan" youtube channel. There is a visual guide that helps to see these rules are common sense to turn your tabletop into a simulator. With beginner box you move and you destroy mech armor. With standard rules you have critical hits, heat management and one great feature... Phyiscal attacks. Wanna jump on top of another mech, punch and kick or use a loose arm from a damaged mech or a tree to hit another mech.
@@Andrewlik 2 things happened. Global shipping crisis disrupted restocking for Battletech and many other tabletop games. And also warhammer 40k migrated in masive flocks to Battletech.
Is this the start of a new album or EP perhaps? Incredible work as always. You really revitalize the MW2 OST, so much so that I much prefer your work to the original.
"Children of the Bear, hearken to my words: Be always vigilant.

To them a debt is owed, repaid through loyalty undying and character unflinching." - Oath of Acceptance Clan Ghost Bear
The trumpet could stand to be a bit more distinct-the blander tone worked well for the original because it was practically lo-fi to fit on the CD with the program-but otherwise freaking excellent.

Now THIS gets my LBX20 in the upright and locked position.
How’s the choke on that thing?
Playing this with military radio chatter overlaid in another tab is a great background ambiance for a game of tabletop battletech.
I went and did this and holy hell are you right. BF3 radio chatter + this is like "READY TO WAR" music
Works with the Modern Warfare 2 radio too. You can replace certain names with 'Mechs if they share similar names.

Why PGI didn't hire you to do some of their MW5 music I'll never know. Great stuff dude.
@Sanguivore Luna I would just say out of touch and cheap bastards.

Because mech 5 is allergic to quality
Currently making a mod with this music so...either way, you get the money.
Because it was not good enough.
Started video with expectations high, standards high.
Started listening.
Sir, you fail...
At disappointing.
Subscribed.
ITS BEEN SO LONG!!! I THOUGHT YOU HAD FORGOTTEN US!!!
now we need to figure out how to support him? Twitch? Patreon? something! XD
I'm willing to hand money, but I also would like to buy the Bred for War EP. Shame NGNG Store went down.
i was looking for classical music and found this i like this
welcome to battletech, friend
Well, it IS a classic. XD
The original is so classic, untouchable territory. And You still delivered quality. :) My trashborn heart is ready to fight again.
I'm ready to fight for the glory of Rasalhague Dominion.

Piranha Games needs to hire you.
MrSleepy677 I better be hearing the Timberwolf remake on my first dropship landing in MW5!
With the music of Timothy Seals, MechWarrior 5 gets more awesome.
Best music ever
Next to NieR Automata's soundtrack, no offense.
Fun fact: there's a mod for MWO that adds a bunch of these songs. It's a night and day difference.
You have got to do a remix of the entire Ghost Bear's Legacy soundtrack. Would really love to hear that soundtrack remixed in your style.
The goosebumps are real! Amazing rendition!
This is top, great to hear the old MW2 music getting love. MW2, GBL, Mercs, and Interstate '76 all lived in my car for years so I could play the music while driving.
Now that's what I call heavy metal.
thats heavy
That's from MW3 lol.
Brilliantly done as always!
And I tought you've been gone forever. I'm glad that I was wrong. And you even put in the magical violin part. Best part of the song with the piano

Amazing! I missed hearing your work!
Its been sometimes Timothy and as always its awesome, thank you.
You totally rock for continuing this work. I've missed your MW2 tracks :)
Love it! I'm consistently amazed at your quality, even though I really should expect it by now!
super amazing! his revamps are magical!
Welcome back, I hope you stay for a while. Amazing work as always I do hope you continue to make these.
Glorious, thankyou!!! My MW5 mercs playthrough's immersion factor has just tripled with this in the background!
Awesome! You never cease to amaze. :)
Love it! Well done!
god I wish for a mechwarrior movie with that music, epic that's what it is
Good to see you back in the horse!!!
its almost making me cry! XD
Already supported once for the first album. Is there a second album confirmation? Would be absolutely pleased to support this CONTENT in order to get moar. Need moar.
Great stuff. Love the slow build up into that surge 😊
This is beautiful. Brings back such good memories
"Look at the bright side kid, you are keeping all the money..."
Excellent work on this.
Welcome back, Timothy!
Götterdämmerung translates to "Ragnarok". Amazing. :D
Well, more literally, "Twilight of the Gods."
Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal!
You sir, as always, are godlike when it comes to MW2 Soundtracks. :)
Added to favourites and shared to friends!
awwww yis. My favorite Mw2:M soundtrack!
The glory of my childhood made anew.
This, good sir, was my favourite track of the original game. And you just managed to make me re-install MW2:Mercs.
Warning! Lyran scout lance coming in hot! Forward elements report it is indeed a scout only lance! 2 Hauptmanns with one Atlas and a Fafnir! Classic LCAF scouting tactics...
Bit late in the timeline to see those designs.
@@InkySquid17 What are you talking, heretic? ATLAS IS IMMORTAL!!! *triggers AC\20*
The Steiner Scout Lance?
@@arcadeashdown3579 average weight of 95 tons... because if everyone's dead no one can report that you were there
*Scouting* for other factions: send in a light lance to gather information... *Scouting* for the LCAF: send in the heaviest lance you have when they expect a light lance gathering information, and maybe gather what's left...
These are all so dope, i missed so many of them....need a mw3 remake!!
My favorite MechWarrior song of all time. This remake is amazing!
Looks like it's time to update MWO music mod! Finally!
Hey-Pi-Ron the hedgehog yass please do
Absolutely amazing
I think I'm about to update my whole Mechwarrior album collection.
90 seconds into the song and already liked!

I'd love to buy and play this.
Unfortunately, its sold out across Canada. waiting for it to be in stock again

@@aquarius5719 I wouldn't say "massive" but still a sizeable amount to affect availability
@@Andrewlik For the amount of available boxsets it was massive.
These are so good. I've missed playing Mechwarrior since I have no one around me. Would love to hear one made for the Grizzly 2.
Yass! this!!!!@ i needed badly. TImothy is the best at making Battletech music!
Keep it up. Great remixes
Just the right music for a "Steiner "Scout" Lance" encounter.
Is this the start of a new album or EP perhaps? Incredible work as always. You really revitalize the MW2 OST, so much so that I much prefer your work to the original.
Would love to buy if you put it up on bandcamp like the previous album!
*I would love to see your music on Spotify as well!
one of my favorite songs from the original album; love this remake... simply wow; gives me Atlas lance vibes

I'm curious on when this will go onto Soundcloud.
I can't wait, not again I'm not strong enough.
This is VERY good :)
Amaaaaaaaazing!
EARGASMIC !

This really sounds like you're willingly marching to your death, then you dive headfirst into the thick of it, and only barely make it out alive...
Masterpiece
Nowadays a track best known for it's alternate title: "Get Focht'd Theme".
Thanks Tex.
Wooooooooooo! \o/
Yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!! It's been too long!
Here they come! Stand ready, Mechwarriors!
Timothy, please do a CD or release. I want to endorse you and your work.
where can I buy this cover? It's incredible, inspiring, endlessly loopable, and essential MechWarrior 2
the best mw2 song without a doubt
finna better pop up in mw:5
Ghost Bear, my favorite clan
Btw, Timothy, please redo the MW4 soundtracks.
Armed, 100%

Hunters ftw
Album?
AYYYY

It is here at last
Christmas came early
This soundtrack is an absolute must! Where can i get this??!
OH YEA
GOTDAMN RUN!!!
Commander, did you really sign us up for this Steiner gig because of their tunes?
Absolutely bad ASS!
Adding more metal to battletech . . . I LOVE IT!!
The Warden Wolves,keepers of the legency of the Kerenksys.
Proctectors of Terra
On god!!!
What tracks are used in this? I recognise parts of it as the music that plays during the final Tukayyid cutscene.
Badass
hell yah
Is there a possibility for a cover of the Mechwarrior 4 main menu music?
Personally, the gongs could have been more prominent. That's what always gives me the willies.
But still awesome to hear!
Ah. Music.
Seems to be
MrJohnnyBQuick Good music too.
amazing music
Reminds me Dune Fight for Power.
InstaLiked!
Whatever they're paying you, the dread Legion will double it. All you have to do is turn around and walk away...
Oh no that star league cache is mine.
This is easily one of my favorite things on youtuve
I wish Mech 5 Mercs' story was more like Mech 2 Mercs
I wonder what the mech on the right is called?
