When I played Mech4, it was surprisingly more like Counter-Strike than I thought it would be. Stealth and ambush was the name of the game. Anyone who peeked over a hill crest at the wrong moment got a face full of lasers and particle beams and died fast. Most chilling moment I ever had was snaking through a valley with my team, only to have the other team ambush us from both sides. We all died in about 20 seconds.
Thank you Piranha. You have no idea how it feels to finally have a new mechwarrior game after it layed dormant for too long. I spent my entire childhood playing mechwarrior 3 and the disk finally died 2 years ago from me still playing it haha
the lighting on this map looked so much nicer back then (i know the contrast/brightness is boosted in this video), but it also seems like there's way less fog and more shadows, i dunno. looks nice.
Yeah.. I definitely don't like the glass glare/fog up. Seems in the future they'd have specialized glass that wouldn't do that 'specially given the certain atmospheres.
I love how there's finally a feeling of being MASSIVE in these games. I love Mechwarrior, but you never really felt like you were in a giant death machine before. That's clearly not the case with this game. Can't wait!
HEY GUYS ive been out of date and i want to know is mechwarrior created or has the same concept of the original mechassault for the xbox. cuz i been clueless wondering if mechassault was ever going to come back.
What you are describing is basically what the MechWarrior: Living Legends Crysis Wars mod is. I would advise checking it out, while development has stopped, last time I checked the community was very active.
I would really love to see a full game played out start to finish (assuming you guys have "game winning" mechanics in place) from several different perspectives from each team, like at least 4 different videos (two videos for each team, if not more) I know not everything is finished, but I'd still love to see a full game. Hell, even if there's bugs I can always distract myself with the absolutely stunning environments
I really hope that light Mechs will also be viable as an offensive option.. I remember rushing around bigger mechs, constantly staying behind them with medium lasers and a gauss rifle :/
Because the armor can be adaptive to the weapon hitting it, reflective armor vs energy weapons for instance. Btw it's AD not BC, we're talking anno domini not before christ. Energy weapons can do a shit ton of damage to mechs, you just need to know where to shoot at, hence the Stone Rhino for instance can field a Railgun, if used properly it can 1 shot a mech. Missiles in mechwarrior are designed to do area of effect damage to Mechs, whilst AC rounds do the penetration.
do i need a high end pc to play or will my intel pentium dell inspiron laptop work i can play other really good quality games but i was wondering since it will be f2p
If this could use the Steel Battalion controller... Game looks great and I can hear the Mechwarrior 2 (the last Mechwarrior game I played) screams in my head. "KODIAK, KODIAK" I hope there is a snow level. Can night vision be engaged? Satellite uplink? Tell me more please!
ok. but if armor has developed, why hasnt weaponry? i mean if a missile today can take out a tank (mech of today) then cant a gauss or ppc or missile take out a mech in 3000 bc?
i would argue it's well-balanced rather than average. a solid weapons package with a decent amount of ammunition and superior speed augmented by jump-jets.
Think of it this way, its free to play with your friends online in matches on a game that they spent all their extra manpower not used on things like AI, campaign design, or story telling, on making the maps and game play as balanced and smooth as possible. And there is a story in a way, its just following the main battletech canon timeline year by year. So next year is 3050, the year the clans arrive. They have thought it out. Just gotta stay positive :)
MechWarrior online, Hawken, and perhaps Virtual On online would cover a large spread of all the different styles of Giant Robot games. They could call it Virtual Online XD *fart*. Either way, it seems like it's quite a good time for giant robot fans. I'll be playing them both.
@Minimeister317...I dunno. I get your point but I've enjoyed all of the COD games, in addition to Quake and Unreal Tournament. Different flavors of the same thing, i.e., competitive, real-time online multiplayer.
Actually, there have been tons of additions to MWO which pushes a lot harder on your machine. I've had to upgrade my computer completely because of this, but It looks much better now. The amount of content, host-state rewind, 12v12 (not 8v8 anymore), etc has a lot to do with this. If you ask me, the game looks much better than It did In CB. I now have 67 Battlemechs (+18 more with Project Phoenix and Sabre Reinforcements), so you know that I've been around since the beginning.
Yeah that's spot on, the clue here is definitely in the genre... Science FICTION. See? It's like science, but it's FICTION. So yeah, a direct missile hit would probably waste a complicated piece of tech like that in RL, much like Iron Man being hit by a speeding "space sled" at high speed would probably be turned into so much puree inside his invincible armor. But it doesn't happen in the movies cause it's fiction. Ditto for missile strikes in MW.
And by the way, MW:O launches tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that It surpasses the amount of content "at lunch" than most of the other MechWarrior game titles.
I am so stoked for this game...Jesus Christ. They haven't done a proper mechwarrior/battletech game since the AOL version from 96-97, imo. This looks legit. Sign me the f*ck up!
Jesus man I apologise!, I'm such a Mechwarrior fan I lashed out without reading(or thinking)properly and missed the NET WARS part of your comment, you're right,for some reason the same thing is going on now about Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World...two totally different games, my apologies again.
This is made on CryEngine 3, but the visuals feel like it was developed on Unreal Engine. Haha, funny... I hope they allow you to stomp over trees in the final game. I don't like ghosting through them.
I dunno, kinda the whole point of the Atlas was to wade into combat and brawl with pretty much everything point-blank. Everyone freaks and shoots the big zombie battlemech, and its lancemates close in like a noose.
If the wait for this game is killing you, play Mechwarrior Living Legends online, a Mod for Crysis Wars on PC. I just started playing it today, its pretty epic.
i understand what you're saying, but in their defense you ARE in a cockpit. i know the other games let you do third person, maybe this one will in the final product. you have to admit, it looks pretty damn impressive.
IGN: "you could give you mech a ton of lasers" really, that seems like a lot of laser are you sure? is that 1 or two laser (if they are small) J/K mwo humor. nice gameplay video
The person he was responding to was using the KPH numbers as MPH. He said a light can go 170 MPH. Thats not even remotely true. Read all the comments before responding.
They are playing out the major events in history in parallel to the current date. The clans should be invading in the next year or so. Clan tech all the way
tbh, mad cat mkII didn't give a proper justice to the mad cat name. a pretty much average assault class, and could be match with Awesome when brawling or even Longbow in long range battle
i keep buying the damn armored core games hoping they'll be a little bit more realistic :(((( THIS game is what ive been looking for. now all i need is a PC that can run it >.

One of the few things I remember from this game when I played it as a child was the loading screen with that red/white missile with the text A.X.X.A
the lighting on this map looked so much nicer back then (i know the contrast/brightness is boosted in this video), but it also seems like there's way less fog and more shadows, i dunno. looks nice.
Yeah.. I definitely don't like the glass glare/fog up. Seems in the future they'd have specialized glass that wouldn't do that 'specially given the certain atmospheres.
Like today, HUD is ON the pilot helmet. You can see it in planes or helicopters (like Eurocopter Tiger).
I love how there's finally a feeling of being MASSIVE in these games. I love Mechwarrior, but you never really felt like you were in a giant death machine before. That's clearly not the case with this game. Can't wait!
finally......i'm been waiting for PC mecha games for as long as i can remember, i can't wait any longer

In game wil be only mechs? Or another vehicles like jets, heli, tanks, infantry and others?
I would really love to see a full game played out start to finish (assuming you guys have "game winning" mechanics in place) from several different perspectives from each team, like at least 4 different videos (two videos for each team, if not more)
I know not everything is finished, but I'd still love to see a full game. Hell, even if there's bugs I can always distract myself with the absolutely stunning environments
oh wow, i really thought mechassault was a big success until the 2nd one, so is mechwarrior for the xbox360 or only PC?
they seem to be trying to set it up for full company on company fights allowing all size mechs to get a proper role and be battlefield effective
I really hope that light Mechs will also be viable as an offensive option.. I remember rushing around bigger mechs, constantly staying behind them with medium lasers and a gauss rifle :/

when will this game finally be open beta because i registered for a closed beta key like 2 months ago but my status is still pending :(((
@1:23 and 2:35 What *is* that? I can't tell if that's a Kurita-pult or something different...
I remember running in circles a lot in the old mechwarrior.
do i need a high end pc to play or will my intel pentium dell inspiron laptop work i can play other really good quality games but i was wondering since it will be f2p
If this could use the Steel Battalion controller... Game looks great and I can hear the Mechwarrior 2 (the last Mechwarrior game I played) screams in my head. "KODIAK, KODIAK" I hope there is a snow level. Can night vision be engaged? Satellite uplink? Tell me more please!

пацаны ребята подскажите фильм вроде американский, старый-престарый про мехи, по телику показывали еще 2001 где-то году, кто то помнит?
hmm will this be for pc? steam?
He was naming a few games of different playtypes from the fps genre and how MW will be different.
The game comes out Aug 7 for people that pre purchased.
30 tons of aromor on the hunchback would like a word with you. an abrams tank has like 2-5 tons, and could hold up to being shelled.
i would argue it's well-balanced rather than average. a solid weapons package with a decent amount of ammunition and superior speed augmented by jump-jets.
So will this work well with a joystick?

random jinxing and separate trajectory's make it harder for counter missile fire
FREEBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRTH-
Myself, I still hear Colonel Holly Harris screaming, "NO-" from the MW2: Mercs intro =3
lasers are the workhorse weapon in Mechwarrior universe.
you don't need ammo. just install tons of heatsink.
have a favorite mech?
MechWarrior online, Hawken, and perhaps Virtual On online would cover a large spread of all the different styles of Giant Robot games. They could call it Virtual Online XD *fart*. Either way, it seems like it's quite a good time for giant robot fans. I'll be playing them both.
Great, because im a huge mechwarrior fan, i have played MW4M over 10 times :)
@Minimeister317...I dunno. I get your point but I've enjoyed all of the COD games, in addition to Quake and Unreal Tournament. Different flavors of the same thing, i.e., competitive, real-time online multiplayer.
Well, they say that March or something will have our Clan Mechs, but I haven't seen them yet, oh well, it will be this year.

Haven't played this series since MW3. Hope this turns out good.
nice choices. i like the mad cat mkII, shadow cat (i have a gauss-fetish), and the celestial series of mechs.
similar to hawken, right ?
And by the way, MW:O launches tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that It surpasses the amount of content "at lunch" than most of the other MechWarrior game titles.
So this means no mechwarrior 5???
i hope this game will support the hawken mech-fu controller.
is this the same guy who does the minutephysics videos?.. it sounds just like him.
I am so stoked for this game...Jesus Christ. They haven't done a proper mechwarrior/battletech game since the AOL version from 96-97, imo. This looks legit. Sign me the f*ck up!
У меня с детства даже книжки про этих роботов остались :D Battletech Клан Кречета
true. i love the franchise. wouldn't want them to screw it up like alot of other companies do with their games.
why are you saying this to me and not the guy asking the question?
So far it looks like WoT with mechs... and that is awesome.
Jesus man I apologise!,
I'm such a Mechwarrior fan I lashed out without reading(or thinking)properly and missed the NET WARS part of your comment,
you're right,for some reason the same thing is going on now about Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World...two totally different games,
my apologies again.
yes that was decided months ago
they have pc's?
I agree completely, thought it can't be helped because it's apart of the mechwarrior "lore", so to speak.
Только что перепрошёл MW4: Mercenaries. Дождаться не могу, когда уже выйдет MWO и я смогу обкатать Atlas в сетевой игре.
cmoooon. i want to get started on building my catapult of mass destruction! :D
This is made on CryEngine 3, but the visuals feel like it was developed on Unreal Engine.
Haha, funny...
I hope they allow you to stomp over trees in the final game. I don't like ghosting through them.
What the heck is up with the nasty contrast boost in that video?
it looks different from the trailers shown last year
I dunno, kinda the whole point of the Atlas was to wade into combat and brawl with pretty much everything point-blank. Everyone freaks and shoots the big zombie battlemech, and its lancemates close in like a noose.
If the wait for this game is killing you, play Mechwarrior Living Legends online, a Mod for Crysis Wars on PC. I just started playing it today, its pretty epic.
Охренеть! это ведь Планетарные бои от 1го лица из Space Rangers!
haha. i dont know why i put BC lol.
I mean the internet and forum wars.
people will try to put 'Hawken VS MWO' thread everywhere, just like 'BF3 vs MW3' thread.
Anyone know system minimums for this game?
Why do we have to argue about the possibilities and logic? It's a game. Just fucking enjoy it.
i understand what you're saying, but in their defense you ARE in a cockpit. i know the other games let you do third person, maybe this one will in the final product. you have to admit, it looks pretty damn impressive.
Overall if u dont wana spend money on mwo then its not worth playing as every new mech needs mc points meaning pay to win. Thank u and pls dont reply.
IGN: "you could give you mech a ton of lasers"
really, that seems like a lot of laser are you sure? is that 1 or two laser (if they are small)
J/K mwo humor. nice gameplay video
The person he was responding to was using the KPH numbers as MPH. He said a light can go 170 MPH. Thats not even remotely true. Read all the comments before responding.
They are playing out the major events in history in parallel to the current date. The clans should be invading in the next year or so. Clan tech all the way
mechwarrior veteran never considered MechAssault a canon. They won't even called it a Mechwarrior spinoff
So is it pay2win then?
i love mechwarrior. just saying a jdam or a big gun would take out a mech or a tank easy.
ok. check out the navy's railgun. awesome, eh?
Anyone remember loading all machine guns and chewing through the opposition like it was toiletpaper?
why are both top comments in russian?
why this loks beter then a game now? it is old and game graphic is better then today with maximum detail.
good thing pgi removed this awesome daylight mode on forest colony, laser effects and ballistic projectile speed.
is this game free?
Couger, Timberwolf, and the Demios
Where is my Daishi?
Every game that contains shooting is copying cod to you?
I know, i'm trying to work on it though. =[
Good, my child, revel in the humor of your defeat.
Pfff. You're just a kid. I used to play Mechwarrior all the time back in highschool. This was the bomb.
This game requires a joystick doesn't it?
they obviously are not, they have to have models for the other players anyway
у avgna на канале есть обзор на старые фильмы про мехов
FREE MECHWARRIOR FPS ONLINE. You know what I like most about that statement? All of it.
SOLD!
tbh, mad cat mkII didn't give a proper justice to the mad cat name.
a pretty much average assault class, and could be match with Awesome when brawling or even Longbow in long range battle
I hate how it is force FPS, I would rather see the mech from third then feel like the Developers are trying to hide somehting.
i keep buying the damn armored core games hoping they'll be a little bit more realistic :(((( THIS game is what ive been looking for. now all i need is a PC that can run it >.
It is beta.....what do you mean???Try it now and you'll see!!
Where is my timberwolf?
point blank? try to fight their 2x large laser and AC10 in point blank...
Hope my application get in Beta Beta :)) me and my son RAWR!!
русский серв будет?
If you want a fast paced mech game, then yes. If you want a deeper game, no. Time will tell of course.
