Sadly, the Warhammer is a medium/long range brawler. It's main guns (arms, PPCs) have a minimum effective range and arn't very good in the city. All it has left is an assortment of 2 Machine Guns, 2 Small Lasers, 2 Medium Lasers, and a Short Range Missle 6 Pack and all those would generate heat like a bitch, and you don't want to be a standing target against an Atas.

Well MW4 wasn't the most perfect game out there, a few balance problems (ie the lord and savior the Clan ER large laser, Did nearly as much if not the same or more damage then gauss rifles while only being 4 tonnes...) but it was my childhood and I loved that game to bits, I am hopping to see a hybrid between MW2:M, MW4:M, and MW: O for this
The original Warhammer design, a great Atlas redesign, the weight and feel of the mechs, realistic sizes, great effects and sound and we got nothing like this right here 10 years later... It's so sad we never got to play THIS game...
And then they got hit with a copyright lawsuit by Harmony Gold cuz their player mech was a Warhammer. Thus they had to scrap everything. And allow the release of MWO as placeholder, before MW5 was finally able to launch.
@@MrTBSC 2 years late to your comment, damn. I just rewatched the trailer and noticed, sorry :) I'm not saying it was easy, but I do miss the more hand-tailored missions of games like MW3 and MW4 by comparison. I still like 5, don't get me wrong, but I like the old ones better.
@@AyoxinBlake well MW 5 clans will come out, at first glance to be a pure single player game. So who knows the campaign may have primarily hand taylored maps/missions this time around unlike MW 5 mercs
With gunnery like that, it's no wonder they couldn't hold. A Warhammer will absolutely end an Atlas if you can get enough shots on the head and CT, or flank left and take off that side torso to cut it's damage output early.
Yes give those Flea and Locust Mechs melee attacks, so they can troll heavy Mechs even more by running circles around them while cutting their legs off. ^^ :P
Personally I am of the belief that the original MW5, if it wasn't wrecked by Harmony Gold, would have pushed Battletech into the limelight if it came out like it should have. At least from the trailer it seems that it would have been a perfect final vision for the franchise as a whole. Rough, gritty, lumbering war machines only capable of doing anything because the both crazy and talented pilots inside. Mechs in MWO and the actual MW5 we got feel far more like heavy soldiers running around with perfect execution, rather then the stumpy walking tanks that are easy to mess up that they are.
Such a fucking crime. One of my favorite series is gonna be ruined by fucking shitty first person adaptations when they had the answer nearly ten years ago. Fuck so frustrating. Battletech (2018) was a step in the right direction tho, but the series always takes ten steps back. Just make us a fucking good game already.
The narrative is fun... Too close to use the Whammys PPCs effectively and getting torn up by the autocannon, but when he backed up he was no longer within the minimum range of the AS-7s LRMs.
why wold you have en edjection seat that dosent even take you out of the danger zone of you'r mechs nuclear blast wen it goes critical. you might as well throw out the ejection seat.
Stackpoling - blowing up your reactor for any reason - isn't a thing anymore. It's called that because it was 'invented' and used quite a bit by BattleTech novel author Michael Stackpole. I know that in Total Warfare (Da Rules), they explained that it can't happen with the nuclear reactors in the BT universe. At all. Ever. But this was in 2007-ish, and Stackpoling has been around since the 1980s in BT fiction and in the rules themselves! So.... RETCON! The most recent trailer, from Piranha Games, shows a downed Raven going BLOOEY! from her ammo cooking off, but otherwise, she just... burns.
Like many trailers they are way better than any of the actual games produced by the actual companies. After MWO, I refuse to give any more money to Piranha Games. On a side note the war hammer was screwed. They got blitzed by the op-for, and he was shouting for backup that was never going to arrive in time. He should have used cover and speed to drag the fight out.
To bad none of this ever really happened... 1. No Drones 2. No jumping up on buildings (that I've seen anyway) 3. Mechs don't move like this in the current game 4. No ejection 5. Crit explosions are underwhelming to say the least
even in the games when you get hit by a high-caliber bullets or shell you don't really get a kick back and it doesn't really knock your omnipod targeting computer lock anymore then you get a shaking special effect filter and particle effects which is all superficial this trailer was misleading in some aspects
That's such a good trailer and really got me hyped for MW5 back then. But damn... what's that Atlas loadout? It says "Atlas-C" on the display, but the "AS7-C" was only released in 3050 according to Sarna and this trailer takes places in 3015. Also, the weapons... what's that? An AC2 (maybe AC5 with boosted RoF), 6 small lasers in chainfire, dual LRM10's that don't even have min range, plus whatever is in these arm pods that the pilot doesn't even fire... with a loadout and pilot like that, even the crappy stock Warhammer should be able to take it down. There's a bit to much Micheal Bay goin' on here, but on the other side, Mechwarrior intros have always been cheesy (yet awesome) and all over the place, so...
So far, amazing for 2009. And my biggest gripe, because when Piranha Games finally brought this game to fruition, it's weirdly lacking in chaotic radio chatter. Just pretty mechs quietly smashing each other and no Infantry to bamboozle you either.
Great trailer. Shame about the (long-going) legal action. I doubt Battletech/Mechwarrior will ever shake-off people thinking their fusion engines will "go critical" (which actually means "nuclear reaction is stable and self-sustaining" and do not apply to fusion power) in a glorious nuclear blast (which nether nuclear or fusion engines are capable of doing) by an engine hit or by super-charging the engine like a Star Trek phaser (although, putting a hole in a fusion chamber would cause the plasma to react to the cooler air, creating a spectacular fireball). Folks might say "Its just a video game! Why are you being so nitpicky?", but I counter with "The board game it was based on always tried for hard realism, and picking apart hard sci-fi is fun!"
Malcadon actually, you might be wrong. You might have to do your own research, but it might be possible for it to "go critical", but not the way you'd expect. You see, if a Mech's reactor is destroyed, it's obviously not really gonna blow up. But, when a mech overheats, the heat causes the "coils" of the reactor to become unstable, which not only vents heat to the pilot, but also has a chance to cause the reactor to go critical, and literally blow up. But you are right in the fact that it wouldn't be a whole "mushroom cloud" explosion like we usually know, but I think the only game that really gets the reactor explosion right is MechWarrior 2. No mushroom cloud, just the mech exploding and parts flying.
@@Oppetsismiimsitsitc I think it is totally fair to have both. "Gigantic Battle Robots" with well detailed skeletal and muscular structures, detailed weapons and systems, and lots of details on how those machines were used in combat.
Subcritical: Atoms cannot achieve a Reaction. No Fusion. Critical: Atoms have achieved a perfect Reaction. Fusion. Supercritical: Atoms are reacting too much. Things will explode.
Still holds up. THIS is more like the table top game to me and that's what I want damit. What we got was bullet sponge mechanics and locked weapon hardpoints, even for Omnimechs......sigh eject eject eject My only gripe about this trailer is the combat computer's voice sounds like it's wearing cat ears lol
The floating 'eye in the sky' is the only thing that does not exist in BattleTech. I have a playtest group in England that 'invented' one of these in-house (and quite independent of this video) and started using it to break the indirect fire rules. Launch these and you don't need an observer with line of sight anymore. It breaks the 2-d environment of the game (as far as 'Mechs are concerned) in a very bad way. Although, to be honest, they might have made them easy to shoot down or something... something to balance the damn thing.
If the Warhammer used his brain and fired through the smoke he could have gotten 2-3 free shots on the Atlas before retreating back to cover to cool down using it's superior speed. Afterwards it could finish off that Atlas at it's leisure. Then again in the actual Mechwarrior game it takes like 20+ PPC shots to kill an Atlas far more if it torso twists.
He's in panic. someone in panic resorts to his baser instincts, and what, according to his unconscious brain, worked before. He must had been in similar situation before, and he prevailed. Not so lucky this time.
no, the Warhammer was a particularly infamous mech for mid range combat, 70 tons of fun.Also, one of the msot famous people in the Mechwarrior Universe/Battletech is Natasha Kerensky aka The Black Widow and her Warhammer. The sad thing is that this mech is probably the reason it was canceled in the first place until recently, because it had another name in another universe, The Tomahawk Destroid mech from Robotech/Macross product line. Harmony Gold that had robotech allowed FASA to produce those miniatures but a certain date, after that however Harmony Gold and several other companies that provided mech designs to FASA went on a huge lawsuit. So I believe the same thing happened to these people for why MW5 was canceled, however Piranha Games are having MW5 have a come back for the hope of mechwarrior fans around.
They've also spent money getting the "Unseen" (that's the word for it and about 12-20 other model types) redesigned to be reminiscent of the original look without actually being the same as them, so they could sell models and include them again.
Still, there would still be contention because of the name.. but now that piranaha gaming is on its feet so they can do pretty much want they want because microsoft will back them... Harmony Gold isn't as powerful as it was back then.
Why didn't the Warhammer just PPC the Atlas' cockpit at that range? Or straight core it? He's got 2xPPCs and SRMs which would happily core the Atlas. Although both weren't torso twisting to mitigate damage.

There's a bit to much Micheal Bay goin' on here, but on the other side, Mechwarrior intros have always been cheesy (yet awesome) and all over the place, so...
You pick on the little kid.
Then his mean big brother shows up.
So far, amazing for 2009. And my biggest gripe, because when Piranha Games finally brought this game to fruition, it's weirdly lacking in chaotic radio chatter. Just pretty mechs quietly smashing each other and no Infantry to bamboozle you either.
if this shit get out as single player game that will be the first game i will ever buy
В 11-м году такая графика была мега-крутой.
Anything sounds bad ass when you use Sputnic as audio effect
Great trailer. Shame about the (long-going) legal action.
I doubt Battletech/Mechwarrior will ever shake-off people thinking their fusion engines will "go critical" (which actually means "nuclear reaction is stable and self-sustaining" and do not apply to fusion power) in a glorious nuclear blast (which nether nuclear or fusion engines are capable of doing) by an engine hit or by super-charging the engine like a Star Trek phaser (although, putting a hole in a fusion chamber would cause the plasma to react to the cooler air, creating a spectacular fireball).
Folks might say "Its just a video game! Why are you being so nitpicky?", but I counter with "The board game it was based on always tried for hard realism, and picking apart hard sci-fi is fun!"
Malcadon actually, you might be wrong. You might have to do your own research, but it might be possible for it to "go critical", but not the way you'd expect. You see, if a Mech's reactor is destroyed, it's obviously not really gonna blow up. But, when a mech overheats, the heat causes the "coils" of the reactor to become unstable, which not only vents heat to the pilot, but also has a chance to cause the reactor to go critical, and literally blow up. But you are right in the fact that it wouldn't be a whole "mushroom cloud" explosion like we usually know, but I think the only game that really gets the reactor explosion right is MechWarrior 2. No mushroom cloud, just the mech exploding and parts flying.
"Hard Realism."
Gigantic battle robots.
Pick one.
NEEEEEEEERRRRRDDDDDD!
@@Oppetsismiimsitsitc I think it is totally fair to have both. "Gigantic Battle Robots" with well detailed skeletal and muscular structures, detailed weapons and systems, and lots of details on how those machines were used in combat.
Subcritical: Atoms cannot achieve a Reaction. No Fusion.
Critical: Atoms have achieved a perfect Reaction. Fusion.
Supercritical: Atoms are reacting too much. Things will explode.
Um.... Why does this look better than the Mechwarrior 5 we actually got???
mechwarrior online mechs: glass
mechwarrior 5 from this trailer: mobile fortress
i love how mechwarrior manages to combine both a tank crew feel and the fighter jet pilot feel at the same time.
This old trailer vs the low effort shit they called the final product.
better than what we got.
1:00 the moment you realize the Jenner is an Atlas.xD
My poor Jenner
Too bad the warhammer missed half it’s ppc shots, it may have one that engagement.
that atlas looks way better than the new one.
no
@@hcy0772 Oh yes, last models of Atlas looks like a fucking japanese mech.
With Annihilator in this would have been a much shorter video.
Still holds up. THIS is more like the table top game to me and that's what I want damit. What we got was bullet sponge mechanics and locked weapon hardpoints, even for Omnimechs......sigh
eject eject eject
My only gripe about this trailer is the combat computer's voice sounds like it's wearing cat ears lol
This trailer makes the game look bad, unless your a fan
IT only takes 10 jears to do it
"in game footage"
Yeah, we were so naive back the.
Pretty advanced tech for 3015. Isn't the Inner Sphere still in its stone age?
Atlas might be old but its still a beast.
old, but not obsolete - t850
you know nothing of battletech.
Stop pretending.
lmao.
The floating 'eye in the sky' is the only thing that does not exist in BattleTech. I have a playtest group in England that 'invented' one of these in-house (and quite independent of this video) and started using it to break the indirect fire rules. Launch these and you don't need an observer with line of sight anymore. It breaks the 2-d environment of the game (as far as 'Mechs are concerned) in a very bad way. Although, to be honest, they might have made them easy to shoot down or something... something to balance the damn thing.
When u are not in assault class and then u met an Atlas, only u can do is keep your distance with him, if the Atlas equiped with LRM, no match
someone needs to get the mechwarrior IP from PGI. i dont care who but they have to stop them from shitcranking this IP into the ground
The license expires in 2025 for PGI
Interesting that in a thousand years, on a foreign planet, they have cars that pretty much look like a current-day Nissan.
It's because future is more bland and boring. The cars would get uglier and boring more and more ,same with buildings
After 8 years it's finally happening
''I can't hold 'em off'' so sad bro, so sad...
That would suck to make it out alive only to parachute into the nuclear fallout.
If the Warhammer used his brain and fired through the smoke he could have gotten 2-3 free shots on the Atlas before retreating back to cover to cool down using it's superior speed. Afterwards it could finish off that Atlas at it's leisure. Then again in the actual Mechwarrior game it takes like 20+ PPC shots to kill an Atlas far more if it torso twists.
He's in panic.
someone in panic resorts to his baser instincts, and what, according to his unconscious brain, worked before.
He must had been in similar situation before, and he prevailed.
Not so lucky this time.
@@gendoruwo6322 can't blame him, seeing an atlas right in front of him like that. I thought it was gonna punch the the shit out of the warhammer.
Destroying a mech is not a good idea. You run the risk of getting destroyed by the blast
31st century warfare but still driving cars 🚗 😳. Are they at least electric?
No, they use alien oil. LOL!!
Calling for support, the true reaction to being engaged by an Atlas
whats sad is that the mech your seeing through the eyes of is a Warhammer
+Talis17118 One of the best mechs. I completed all the campaigns of Ghost bears legacy with a IIc
I say sad because that might have been one of the reasons MW5 was cancelled
no, the Warhammer was a particularly infamous mech for mid range combat, 70 tons of fun.Also, one of the msot famous people in the Mechwarrior Universe/Battletech is Natasha Kerensky aka The Black Widow and her Warhammer. The sad thing is that this mech is probably the reason it was canceled in the first place until recently, because it had another name in another universe, The Tomahawk Destroid mech from Robotech/Macross product line. Harmony Gold that had robotech allowed FASA to produce those miniatures but a certain date, after that however Harmony Gold and several other companies that provided mech designs to FASA went on a huge lawsuit. So I believe the same thing happened to these people for why MW5 was canceled, however Piranha Games are having MW5 have a come back for the hope of mechwarrior fans around.
They've also spent money getting the "Unseen" (that's the word for it and about 12-20 other model types) redesigned to be reminiscent of the original look without actually being the same as them, so they could sell models and include them again.
Still, there would still be contention because of the name.. but now that piranaha gaming is on its feet so they can do pretty much want they want because microsoft will back them... Harmony Gold isn't as powerful as it was back then.
Why didn't the Warhammer just PPC the Atlas' cockpit at that range? Or straight core it? He's got 2xPPCs and SRMs which would happily core the Atlas. Although both weren't torso twisting to mitigate damage.
Because the Warhammer pilot cheated to become mechwarrior and earned a Darwin award.
It kinda funny how they did the intro for this the mech POV is a Warhammer the other is a Atlas basically looks like a space marine
So this is where Titanfall got its self-destructed idea.
