  • Remember all the epic Opening Cinematics from the popular MechWarrior Games?
    Did some work to cut most of them together into a single 30 Min. Clip, from classics to the latest reincarnation.
    .. and as Special Bonus i added an awesome Fan Trailer. Credits to wauweli :-)
    Enjoy and remember the time, when we were all young kids and played the classics!!!

    I like how MW:O touches the one part of the lore. The 29:24 bit is a recreation of Phelan Kell encountering TimberWolf omnimech for the first time in 3049 on "The Rock". His mechs computer did not recognise the machine, but due to visual resemblances it kept switching between Marauder and Catapult as target designations. Then it bugged out and displayed MadCat, hence the inner sphere designation MadCat for TimberWolf

      Want to keep playing untold battles as a mech commander? There is a tabletop game. Your experience is not complete without it. It comes in two flavors. Beginner box, 2 plastic mech miniatures, simplified rules. Battletech a game of armored combat. 8 miniatures, standard set of rules, including heat and internal damage. I usually recommend to buy both.
      If you feel standard rules are too intimidating, you may view the videos of "Battletech fan" youtube channel. A visual guide that shows that rules are common sense to simulate what happens with stompy robots.
      If you are a parent, Battletech game is like chess with math. So if you want to keep your kids sharp for STEM and spend some quality time with your family, try Battletech standard tabletop. You may love to watch the educational power of tabletop Battletech. Watch this:

The Timber Wolf even killed the Hunchback first because he knew the AC/20 was the most serious threat. But I love the MW2: Mercs cutscene for its brutality. I still get chills every time I hear "Look on the bright side, kid. You get to keep all the money."

      ​@@mortyjhones4068 The Mad Dog is a 60t Heavy mech though, and the only way it could fit that much weaponry is if you basically took a vast majority of its armor off, and while that's not THAT big of a deal since it is meant to be a Fire Support LRM machine, I think you'd do better with more ammo since firing 60 missiles a go will drain your ammo stores after like 10 or so shots.
      Standard config is Dual LRM-20s, Dual Large Pulse Lasers and Dual Medium Pulse Lasers, which I just can't help think would be a little bit more versatile than your set up...

      There's a million things wrong with the MW4 intro in terms of details, but in terms of effects and graphics it does look the best. They would need to hire someone who actually gave a damn about the lore to make a movie though. This war is supposed to take place in the Inner Sphere but almost everyone is using Clan 'Mechs. MW4 always confused me when I played it as a kid because I never understood why anyone wouldn't use "Clan extended range" versions of every energy weapon. Only much later did I find out that the Clans and Inner Sphere haven't shared technology for 300 years.
      I don't usually get bothered by one-hit kills because there are almost always edge cases in BattleTech where that happens anyway. Through-armor criticals that hit ammo bins and other such shit.

Biggest thing I miss from those days is playing with my buddies who many now have kids and all and competing in MWL. My skill set was in light mechs using speed and electronic warfare to scout and harass larger mechs. ….miss doing the circle of death dance dearly.

    I love how everyone's busy talking about stuff like MWO and MW3, yet hardly anyone has mentioned MW1, or the fact that it was the SNES version that was shown. A lot of people don't know this, but MW1 and MW2 actually were ported to consoles, though MW1's SNES port was so far removed from the PC version that it's practically a separate game. MW1 for SNES is a damn good game, if a bit simple.

    I guess you could say I love the series. Should a new solo game come out, I am going to be all over it. I would love a new clanner game.

    • @badbeardbill9956

      I think it would be cool to start a year or so before the invasion and have the first season feature the crew of the Outbound Light along with others like Victor, Phelan Kell, and so on. Then the season finale can end with the arrival of the Outbound Light over Huntress. Season 2 can then feature the Clans planning for the invasion along with Inner Sphere storylines (maybe even have flashbacks to events from the 3020s like the battle of Misery) and then end season 2 with the Clans showing up in the Periphery. Season 3 then has the invasion proper and ends with the death of the IlKhan, then the next season is all about the period between invasion waves. Followed up by the renewed invasion. Feature the Battle of Luthien and then the Battle of Tukkayid in the final season.
      I don’t know, you could do a lot.

      And after that a spin-off / prequel; starting with the Amaris coup, and Alexander Kerensky kicking ass and Saying 'No' to the great houses before taking the SLDF fleet onto his exodus into unknown space to keep the warships out of the Houses hands and ultimately start a new civilization. The failings of mankind that follows them and how this great leader just gets worn down by the human failings around him. With his son taking up the mantle to form what ultimately will be the clans. Maybe do a bit side-by-side highlighting the clans reflecting the motions of the Inner Sphere under a misguided leader (who thought a caste system was a good idea)

    I played so much the demo of Mechwarrior 2 in my PC back in 1994. It was so heavy for my computer that it used to lock everytime I finished the only mission avaliable at it. I bought the game down the line, loved it so much. Mercenaries was also incredible, I remember that when I played it in 1999 a mission that blew my mind was one I could refuse to fullfill a contract mid mission. Had never seen such interaction with a game mission before. In it the guys we were attacking asked us to back away and they would double the money our original contractors were paying. I did that and it did actually work for real, the guys with me got pissed and the original targets helped me out. Was insane back then.
    In Mechwarrior 3, the moment where the madcat stares at the Atlas still give me chills, amazing.

The very first cinematic we got from Piranha that was initially suppose to be MW5 was also really good, man was I ever stoked for a new Mechwarrior game but ultimately disappointed that it turned into MWO. MW5 Mercs is fine but sandbox games just don't hit the same as story driven games do, here's to hoping MW5 Clans delivers.
