I was obsessed with these cinematics as a kid. I remember my friend telling me all about the Kodiak mech and how beefy it is, and being so excited to see it in this opening. We used to play Mech Warrior on the playground field, running around with our arms bent at 90 angles like mechs.
Next time I walk around the mall with my wife I'm going to play as a Kodiak with my arms bent at 90 degrees while making pew pew and boom boom noises. She will enjoy herself.
Lol, well if you brush up on Clanner society you'd know this. But obviously the people who did the voice recordings for these games didn't get the memo about Clanners not using contractions.
Seeing this clip again really brings back the memories of the good ol' days in the 90s when I loved playing MechWarrior on my crappy old PC! Wish I could play again, but, ever since I had a brain tumor the size of a lrg. orange behind my rt. eye that caused a stroke which paralyzed the left side of my body back in 1996, I haven't been able to properly enjoy any computer games that require having both hands at 100% ;-(
+JarnBjorn72 Aw man.... I'm so sorry man. I just hope you can at least enjoy watching others play. I hope in the future you'll be able to play games again.
My 'Mech of choice was an Executioner with dual PPCs in one arm, an Ultra Autocannon-20 in the other, and an anti-missile system. Saw that configuration in one of the novels and it was devastating.
On tabletob you could probably make that config if you remove some of the excess heat sinks on the gladiator and reduce it to the base 15 on the chassis. Might run hot but it’s a scary one no doubt.
They even had the voice actors use clan words like "quiaff," "aff," and "neg." So to be "correct," the voice actors would not have used contractions if the pilot was in a frontline 'Mech. Like I said, they almost got this right, there's only one contraction in the entire video. When the Mad Dog pilot says: "Nothin' on scope.." that's an aesthetic thing, he should have pronounced the whole word, but I digress.
In MW4 the Kodiak is often used as a missile boat. It got jets, wich means it can jump out of hill cover briefly to unload its salvo. Also its got a ECM, making it quite steathy to radar. And when i am talking missiles i mean triple Cluster Arrow IV, thats artellery missiles. Its formidable, and earned the nickname: "the plague". It has a terrible punch and AMS won't help you against missiles of that size. It had an armor bug exchanging front and rear armor, wich sucked. But that got fixed.
The Clans did eventually join Devlin Stone's coalition and helped destroy the WoB. The Ghost Bears absolutely mauled a few units, saved the Combine's ass and took out an entire Shadow Division. The Council of Six, which included Warden and Crusade alike (Crusader Wolves, Jade Falcons, Diamond Sharks, Snow Ravens, Ghost Bears and Hell's Horses) provided key warship support and helped retake a good portion of the Sol system.
Obligatory Remembrance quote: None stronger, none more fearless Than the Ghost Bear. None can hold against him. What we know to be true: The Ghost Bear conquers all.
@Specter86 Actually, "MechWarrior" was the name of the roleplaying game that grew out of BattleTech, and which used BT as the combat engine. The computer game is an adaptation of MW. They all exist within the BattleTech universe.
As far as I know, the video shows how Clan Ghost Bear idolizes the "Ghost Bear" that hunts it's prey this way, by hiding in the snow to pounce on prey animals unlucky enough to wander too close, yes. ;-)
@Ironeagle 777 The mech is effectively shut down, and radar is passive, so there is no "Ping" in the books a hot start up is entirely possible for ambushes like this. The Mad Dog pilot suddenly had the radar signiture because the Kodiak Pilot was powering up because the trap was sprung.
I’m new to the mech warrior/battletech series but what does contraction mean? I can’t really get a solid answer online (yes I know this comment is old, I’m really curious)
K1LLAGHOST A contraction is a shortening of a phrase, usually for convenience's sake. Example: Instead of saying "I am going to take a shower," I could say "I'm going to take a shower." This is a little smoother, quicker, and, in today's culture, sounds proper, whereas the full form sounds oddly formal in normal speech. An exception to the "oddly formal" idea would be when someone is angry or upset, in which case it is common to lengthen the utterance in order to more fully express the emotion: "YOU ARE *NOT* GOING TO THE DANCE WITH HER!" In the video, the Smoke Jaguar pilot says "Jag Base, this is Jag 12, I'm approaching the reported radar signature," which goes against the Clan cultural practice of never using contractions. According to the lore, he should have said "I am approaching the reported radar signature." May I ask your native language?
@@CodeineRadick While Melee is sort of frowned upon by the Clans it's not uncommon......there's a reason Kodiaks have those claws. The bigger issue is among the Clans it's seen as VERY Taboo to aim for a cockpit on purpose......and DFA is doing just that...
***** I feel I should finally explain what meant by my last comment - Since the beginning of the Clans, Clan Snow Raven monopolised a vast majority of worships, frigates, cruisers etc etera, while all the other Clans focus on Armour or BttleMerch manufacturing so when the war of 3050 began against the Inner Sphere, a lot of Clans had no option but to use the Clan Snow Raven transport, because all the other Clans just did not have the Naval ships to be able to transport their invavson force into the Inner Sphere.
+Devin Deatherage Yep, ever since my buddies and I used to play the Miniatures game, Ghost Bear was always my favorite clan when the clans first showed up!
I notice there is no ending video for GBL on UA-cam. That fact might be related to a certain underwater mission... ;-) (No, I never got past that one, either...)
@Dumpstermuffin1 it all depends on what your definition of 'powerful' is. Clan Ghost Bear could have had the superiority on the field of battle with its 'mechs, but Clan Snow Raven ruled the skies with their domination over Clan warships.
Ditto, Maddog/Vulture and the Timberwolf/Madcat was pretty versatile, and the Madcat Mk II used in MW4 with the extra beefed up armor/weps was nice too. The Bushwacker was fun too., with the AC it packed! Wish they'd make MW5 already....
obviously the creators wanted to illustrate DFA on this vid but your right, the correct strategy with the mad dog is hit and run with its long range weapons... expecially going againts with the Kodiak, the only long range weapon it has on its standard loadout is the Large Laser.
I wonder why did we never get an introduction to Clan Ghost Bear, like how we had the movies introducing Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon in 31st Century Combat.
You have to purchase the Clan Pak seperately from MW4 to get the Kodiak. It was my favorite Mech to jump and snipe with in multiplayer. The Inner Sphere Pak was worth getting too, because it contained the Heavy Gauss Rifle.
Although I have since hung up my neural helmet and place my CRB-27 Crab (aka Sakuya's Ice) into mothballs, this still gets the adrenaline flowing from my days as a Capellan citizen on the battlefield. Alas, after more than twenty years, I have decided to leave the battlefield for the younger generation to prove their worth. I am happy enough as a training instructor for the future Capellans to prove they have what it takes to become citizens and serve the Great Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao.
@Cantemes Well the Clans usually fight according to their honor codes among themselves (though they consider the Nova Cats traitors and go out all against them) but they were basically forced to adopt more pragmatic methods against the Inner Sphere. I can't really blame them, if you enemy does not abide by your rules than why should they protected by them?
Autocannon made short work of that appendage. Boy I used to love this game! I outfitted my Warhammer with 4 PPCs. You needed extra heat sinks tho or it would explode after three simultaneous blasts. :-D
I did something similar with a Timberwolf. It was only good for the snowy climate of GBL because evven with extra heatsinks and cycling, the friggin arm would melt off. Could drop an assault lance single handedly though if done correctly.
Is there a 95 tons mech in this game? a 95 ton mech can have 4 PPCs and enough heat sinks to keep on firing those PPCs non stop without the fear of shutting down if you know how to build them and they move faster then a fully deck out 100 ton mech. Mech like Executioner/Gladiator.
No, there's not any video runs or the ending from Ghost Bear's Legacy. Wish there were any other videos, I wanted to know what it's like. A friend told me that game is so clean (clean as in awesome).
8 tomahawk on a stone rhino all shot at one on a cluster of ennemy at long range lock. 1 shut down 30 secs of radio static from massive explosion (EMP) Then once back online, no more ennemies on long ranged radar. That was sweet when you actually had that lock from that far and actually blowed up 8 mech all in one sweep witought them even seing ya.
I was going to protest the implication that even softies like the Ghost Bears would let a Freebirth into an assault mech, but the Kodiak *is* a second-liner, and a non-omni.
I mean that this video and the original Mechwarrior 2 intro depict clan pilots in frontline 'Mechs, and the videos have the voice actors using contractions. 9 times out of 10, it's Trueborns who are assigned frontline 'Mechs, and Trueborn pilots do not use contractions. That's a freeborn thing.
Did anyone else have problems modifying 'mechs? In the titanium version of GBL, I can never use my personal variants because I get a message saying that I'm above the 'mech weight limit when I'm not.
MadCat, Vulture and Thor are all Clan Mechs. The Clan invasion takes place roughly 35 years too late for the MW5 time, and the Clans were unknown before that.
Yup, they might not be so good for fast in/out incursions but would you want to assault anything that's being guarded a couple of them? Designed like their namesake: They're big, tough, mean and lethal if you're stupid enough to get too close. The addition of jumpjets to the Kodiak 2 (or a custom) variant makes DFA a fitting maneuver for them.
It seems games have shifted from the oldschool brand of mechwarrior, under a killing moon, wing commander, etc - to games that sacrifice rich and innovative plotline for innovative and rich gameplay dynamics and graphics, which is a shame since both would be nice.
Ohhh.. ok that I didn't know! Awesome man. And yah well no Bushwacker, that's what they have expansion packs for. Haha. I mean if the game's good and true to MW2 MW3 style fun then you know what? I'll take 10 GOOD mech designs over 30 half-assed clones. Also, As long as they have Madcat, Vulture, Thor etc I'll be happy. ;) I'm not really a buff so I have no idea about the different ages, but man a reboot is what we need. Eh?
@Kakashi3854 The Ghost Bear Legion was much, much different from the other clans. But, I think only Jade Falcon, Cloud Cobra, Smoke Jaguar, and Diamond Shark worried about honorable tactics in battle.
Two great mechs fighting, unfortunately for one the other is basically the clan version of the Atlas, which even into the IL Clan era is one of the most feared mechs on the battlefield.
I was obsessed with these cinematics as a kid. I remember my friend telling me all about the Kodiak mech and how beefy it is, and being so excited to see it in this opening. We used to play Mech Warrior on the playground field, running around with our arms bent at 90 angles like mechs.

I still walk like that sometimes, nobody has to see it.
I’m 37, and I still do when I think nobody is watching
That KDK-2 pilot was torso twisting the damage pretty well.
Yeah, wonder where he got those jump jets though.
A year later. But the kodiak 2 has jump jets as its design. Ir was a variant made to be more mobile, while sacrificing a little firepower.
Kdk2? That's a kodiak 1 brah
@@mr_ThreeEight_1776 Can't recall 100% but I believe the original kodiak variant had JJ's built into the structure
@@mr_ThreeEight_1776 No its a Kodiak 2, not to be confused with the Kodiak II. It drops some lasers and one of the SRM launchers for jump jets.
I used to put these games in the CD player and just listen to the great music tracks.
Did the same in my childhood!
Same here, especially when playing Quake since it pulls from the CD.
Same!
YUPP!!! Heck yeah.
Same here, would actually put it on when I went to bed to fall asleep to that music
When I was a kid I was obsessed with these mechs lol, it was like the coolest thing I'd ever seen
This is what you once were, Activision.
I love how the Kodiak rotates left and right to spread/absorb the damage. I just might have to replay this old game.... 😉
"you've come to the wrong neighborhood freebirth!"
Clanners don't use contractions.
The kitten in the video clearly does, who's to say the carebear wouldn't use them too?
Lol, well if you brush up on Clanner society you'd know this. But obviously the people who did the voice recordings for these games didn't get the memo about Clanners not using contractions.

However you can play the tabletop game. Search "battletech catalog".
One of my absolute favorite assault battlemechs. Intimidating and deadly
My 'Mech of choice was an Executioner with dual PPCs in one arm, an Ultra Autocannon-20 in the other, and an anti-missile system. Saw that configuration in one of the novels and it was devastating.
And UAC/20!!?!?!? Holy shit!!
Yep. That was a butcher configurations. Great combine
I'm a complete newbie with this franchise, but the one thing I know for sure, when in doubt use the PPC
Always liked executioner... mad dog and Timberwolf as well
On tabletob you could probably make that config if you remove some of the excess heat sinks on the gladiator and reduce it to the base 15 on the chassis. Might run hot but it’s a scary one no doubt.

Mechwarrior is the Pen & Paper roleplaying game set in the Battletech universe that the PC games are named after.
First time i saw that intro... i thought that was the coolest thing i have ever seen.

Between this video and MW2:Mercs, most amazing classic game introductions, ever.
I fucking loved the Kodiak.
Is this supposed to symbolise how the actual ghost bear in lore lays down in the snow and pounces on nearby pray?
As far as I know, the video shows how Clan Ghost Bear idolizes the "Ghost Bear" that hunts it's prey this way, by hiding in the snow to pounce on prey animals unlucky enough to wander too close, yes. ;-)
@Ironeagle 777 The same way Steiners can use Atlases as scout mechs.

I don't know why the Kodiak roars but I love it. Great expansion, I just covered it on my channel
I remember seeing this and always thinking that it wasn't nearly as intense as the first MW2 intro :P

How did those giant robots get in that moving picture.
I sometimes walk around and make mech sounds in my camouflage underwear. Unfortunately my neighbours do no appreciate this and have called the police.
Stupid mad dog. Do not move backwards so much, Turn and sprint. A mad dog can hold for quite a while if it opens up distance to a kodiak.
