Let's Play MechWarrior 2 - Mercenaries - #2
Ойындар
In which we fumble about in instant action missions for a bit and play like we want to make money. And also get shot to hell.
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries is a stand-alone game that really kicked the MechWarrior franchise into overdrive. Now the campaign is dynamic, because you're the one choosing the contracts, and it all plays out just before the Clan Invasion. You get to play a role in various conflicts of your choosing, and it's all so full of BattleTechness it's probably out of critical slots. A few quick notes to get you up to speed on what I'll be doing, after all, speed is life. You go slow, you die. I'll be playing the original DOS version with my original Mercenaries CD, so you'll be getting the real authentic experience as if you'd just opened the box like it were September 30th, 1996, just like I did because I'm friggin' old! I'll probably be saving and dying a lot, I'll try to play out as many missions as possible, because I don't want this to just be any other run-through. Mercenaries was a stand-alone game, so there are some gameplay adjustments. You have a new EVA, the weapons all sound new, you can have up to five groups of weapons, mechs can fall down (that's bad, by the way), and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.
Also super special thanks to Sarna.net for providing the various extra graphics and such.
And also it wouldn't be a proper Mercenaries video without me selling out so check out my book at www.rabbitvalley.com/item/957... or Amazon at www.amazon.com/Foxhunt-Rich-H... and you can read the first chapter for free at www.writing.com/authors/l1011... as well as some other stuff, if you like BattleTech and MechWarrior you will definitely love my writing!

All systems om nom nommable.
Been looking forward to this one.
Also, if you want to be a bit...fancy. You can actually enable Enhanced Imaging in Mercenaries. :) If you watch the MechWarrior 2:Mercs video by Ancient DOS Games (ADG), he talks about the game in general and talks about how to enable it. Supposedly the reason it was disabled was less about it being similar to Clan tech, and more about it not being 100% finished before the game launched. It's an interesting video.
"Synchronizing neural helmet interface" oh man the game immersion even then... I think it's better than many games put out now...
Glad to see you're still making videos. Feels like an eternity ago when I first saw your stuff.

Thank you so very very much!
Oof, your 'Mech took a pounding. I guess it's to be expected in a 1v6 scenario.
That Quickdraw is a 60 ton heavy (probably the 4G with 4 Medium Lasers, 1 SRM4, and 1 LRM10), so they aren't playing too fair this mission. I thought the Kuritans had a little more honor than that. Lol, who am I kidding, especially in 3025 era, it is do whatever dirty trick it takes to win. :)

They're perfectly fair. What you're "supposed" to do is just run through scouting all the stuff and not stick around to kill everything. Just the AI was derping all to hell so it chose not to kill him.

@@GregAtlas I meant the comment to be a bit tounge-in-cheek, but you are right. It's scouting and not base assault.
you need to use Auto cannons and not lasers

Let him use what he wants. Plus with his accuracy he would have ran out of ammo somewhere between the 6 and 9 minute mark. Plus he's piloting a commando.

Autocannons were bad in this game. Hit registry was poor so more often than not you end up wasting ammo.

@@Deltaworks23 I disagree about autocannons being bad, but I will agree with the hit registry. There was also apparently a bug in mercenaries with lasers where they did more damage than they were supposed to that also carried over into the titanium pack versions of the other MW2 titles since they used the same engine as MW2 Mercs and made the lasers over powered. From what I've heard, and this could be totally wrong, the hit registry was so bad because their hit boxes acted more like circles or spheres rather than boxes and they would overlap so even though your weapon went to where one location would be, it could potentially hit an overlapping hit location. This is probably why Urbanmechs and Jenners take head shots so often.
