Mechwarrior 3: Opening cinematic

The opening cinematic for the splendid 1999 sequel to the stupendous game that was Mechwarrior II. This game was good but I believe that it was not superior to its predecessor. Certainly on a graphical level it was a vast improvement, but that old DOS game ran game play rings around this iteration.

    The best thing about this game was the narrator at the start of the game; the voice acting was superb, unlike every other game, completely believeable. The officer who gave your briefings and so on, completely believable. No MW title has matched 3, and it's been 13 years. How sad is that?

    This is definitely the best classic Mechwarrior intro cinematic. No goofy live action mixed with dated CG, or the bad acting that came with it. The combatants also displayed intelligent tactics that made the battlefield scenario feel real. The horrifying screams of the dying soldiers. Perfection

    I don't know, about the intelligent actions if it was reality the atlas should have fired weapons while closing fullspeed to put his battlefist in the mix instead of just walking out and standing but yes the rest is pretty good. I like the mw4 one more despite the much dumber choices the lanceleader makes

    If I understand correctly they were one of if not the most brutal clan. Even the canon books and games mention they were hard and brutal to those they occupied, especially to civilians. That's why they were target by the IS for total annihilation. Even Clan Wolf didn't like them not to mention the Nova cats

    +cv .echeveste A number of the Clan sourcebooks, including ones that speak about the origins of the Clans, explain the Smoke Jaguars in detail -- they were harsh to everyone, even themselves, believing in "survival of the fittest". Their training regimen was even more harsh than the Jade Falcon one (already considered one of the most difficult in the Clans). Only Clan Blood Spirit had a tougher warrior training program (by far, the toughest out of all of the Clans, hands down).

My favorite part is when the Summoner turns to look at the nuclear explosion of his lance-mate's Mech, then he just as easily turns away and continues on his original duties. He's like, _"Huh.

    Did they really? The defenders had an Atlas, Mad Dog and two Fireflies. The Atlas was destroyed fighting the Timberwolf and it's a small miracle that he even won that duel as the Timberwolf is an all around better mech. The Fireflies are effectively useless against the Summoner and the Mad Dog isn't armored well enough to beat it either. Had the stupid clanner not acted like a stupid clanner and chased the last Firefly straight into an obvious ambush he'd have wiped the floor with both remaining mechs.

    MechAssault games usually aren't considered canon to the original series' storyline. MechAssault was actually seen in the eyes of many old BattleTech fans as a bastardization of what the series is about. All the MechWarrior games take place before the events of MechAssault. Also; BattleTech takes place in the "Inner Sphere", which is a collection of thousands of planets that humans have colonized. If one world blows up- there's many, many more to live on.

    Clanners are warriors, not soldiers. They don't fight wars, they fight a series of single combat engagements for the most part. They likely underbid this one anyways, and they might've been dishonored pilots looking for an opportunity to get some honor back (by going on a suicide mission).
