@TheVoiceOfTruth That was the story though. There always needs to be some type of "gate" to the good tech from the start. I could be remembering wrong, but the premise should be about right. In 3 you were part of an invasion force that got bad intel and got ambushed. All you have is what you crash landed with and you need to capture enemy supplies to replenish and strengthen your own while still attempting to complete your original mission basically blind. Pretty much the same idea in 4 but with a bit of a longer story attached to it that just made sense for those games. Same for MW2:Mercs, except instead of capturing enemy tech, you just salvaged and bought better tech as you progressed. You were still "gated" from the good tech/weapons/mechs until you earned it by whatever means the designers put in. Basically the same for almost all the games out there lol. With the exception of MW:Online, but even that has those elements to it. MW2:Mercs holds a personal spot in my heart due to nostalgia, absolutely loved that game as a kid. I was blown away by 3, it was way ahead of it's time, really wish I could play 3 again reliably. And 4 was just really, really fun and I will still replay it again every now and then. MW:Online was boring for me, never played it for more than a couple weeks. BattleTech by HBS is freaking amazing, but can get boring late game or after the main campaign unless you start modding. MW5:Mercs...well...screw Epic Games and screw Piranha Games too for releasing it there, and even if the game eventually releases on Steam, still not sure if I'm going to buy it. Depends really on the modding community and how far modding can improve the game. Original MW and all the mechwarrior games on nes/snes were more like arcade games, played them here and there, but they were pretty meh. Never got into the MechCommander series either, probably good games, but I wouldn't know, never have and probably never will play them at this point lol.

MW3 was the first one of the series I played, and wow the jump in graphical capability was amazing. I mean, it had destructible environments, real-time damage inflicted upon enemy mechs with every shot. Almost ahead of its time.

MW2 had the best soundtrack and the best Heads Up Display for a Mech game. Not only that it was my frick'n childhood.

It would be cool if they redid Mw3 and Mw4 (with all the addons) with new graphics. They great games and I believe a lot of people would play them. These games are much better than CoD, Battlefield, or even Team Fortress 2.

@lumpy1space2princess

That would be amazing! But, they aren't in the same genre as modern fps. The mw franchise is a much more slower paced game. One cannot simply stand in a corner and wait for some sorry fuck to walk by and kill him in one hit. Nope, instead, one must follow a VERY specific role, and rely on his/her teammates to cover his/her weaknesses. For example: One using a close range build must rely on long range missle spammers or "archers"/ long ranged snipers "riflemen" to keep the enemies heads low, so the brawler can get to the enemy. And the riflemen/archers rely on a scout to spot targets. Scouts and strikers (assasin mechs) rely on brawlers to keep the enemy distracted. Everyone in the game relies on eachother to win.

The gigantic leap between MW1 and MW2 was really impressive. 1 is unplayable by today's standards, while 2 is actually acceptable, even if looked at as a retro getaway. 2s soundtrack is pretty epic even today.

I'm back to the Battletech universe after many years away. Gaming wise, I started with Mech Warrior 2 and now I'm using Mech Warrior online. The one thing I noticed and it bothers me to no end is the power of the light mechs these days. On MW2, if you tried mounting heavy firepower like ER PPCs or ER Large Lasers, you'd get off one shot maybe two before overheating. Nowadays, they can take out the heaviest of mechs. What are you thoughts/feelings on that aspect of the game that has changed?

Mechwarrior 2 and Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries were the best.

It is amazing to think that games - not only mechwarrior - have been developed this far. I mean, back in 1989, that was top notch gaming, and look at what we have today! And development are still going strong. Cant wait for the future!

Love this video! i've played every mechwarrior in the franchise and this pretty much summed them all up :) thanks

That i can recognize the silhouettes of those mechs from the first game speaks volumes to the timeless design, my first introduction to the franchise was 3, and I never got onboard until online. AND STILL I knew when a Locust, Marauder or Hunchback stepped up

jamie kennedy To be fair, the first mechs in MWO were almost exclusively the ones that come with the BattleTech box set (which has just been reprinted). From there, they've pretty much been adding mechs from the 3039 Technical readout. So, if anything they're more original than the original video games.

Good on you for putting MW:LL in there. It's an epic and awesomely fun Mechwarrior game, license or not. I wonder if I'll ever see my dream realised? A full MW2 remake with the MWO engine. A man can dream, right?

I like how MWO made you buy the most iconic mech of all time, the Madcat.

MechAssault they forgot bout that one lol

MechWarrior 4 was a step back from the excellence of MechWarrior 3...MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries had some of the best missions though, including fighting on top of an ice-transport ship in space, where you could jumpjet into another mech and send them hurtling into the void. Also, running your own mercenary company and having to pay for everything yourself was awesome as you were always trying to scrape together some extra cash...MechWarrior 3 had the best feeling of scale, especially when you could walk over someone on the ground and crush them (unlike in 4 where the people on the ground were sprites, and it felt like the tanks were toy cars rather than simply seeming small because you were in a towering mech, instead it felt like mechs were the normal size of a human and everything else was tiny), and 3 felt the best gameplay wise. I especially liked being able to aim the guns with the mouse independently of the torso, and the HUD was better.

Great short showcase, ¡Congratulations!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but that first game definitely looks like Mechwarrior! It's heartwarming to know that as soon as technology allowed it, someone made a battletech Mech combat sim and the world is better for it.

I really wanted to see the Mad Cat (I'm an Inner Sphere scrub, sue me) because the Mad Cat is pretty much the icon of Mechwarrior (you can say it's the Atlas but most of the Mechwarrior games had the Mad Cat featured prominently and used it as their logo), but then I found out I have to pay something like 50-210 dollars for it?! What kind of BS is that? NobleSeraphim I was really missing all the ER Medium lasers (those were my go-to weapons for MW3 because they had about the same range as a Large but weighed less and made less heat), the LB-20-X ACs... What makes MWO worse is that they said they were going to go with a 1:1 scale timeline of release for mechs, meaning if a mech came out a year after the time the game is "set" in, we'd have to wait a real-life year for the mech in the game.

I among many have noticed, and even some respectable critics like sidestrafe have noticed, that the map development and performance quality is needs a lot of attention. Props are recycled, the colors are bland, and some maps give one team a critical disadvantage. Now, the most compelling thing to me is the HUD. I usually get around 30 fps on a good amount of maps. I turn the HUD off and my framerate increases dramatically. Why? It's just a heads-up display, how could that possibly take half of my potential performance? Many people don't know why they claim MW:O is bad, but these are points I happen to agree on.

Mad Kiyos At least IGP is off their backs now. We are finally seeing good progress in MWO compared to the abysmal year of 2013.

I don't like the balance choices that to stop boating is to implement Ghost Heat. They should just go back to the classic 30 point heat scale, make Double Heat Sinks dissipate Double the heat (not have double the heat capacity), etc. Clan weaponry being nerfed (like doubling the burn time of lasers) without the ability to modify base chassis attributes like the Engine completely misses the point of them being OMNIMechs, they're supposed to have superior weapons and mounting ability while the Inner Sphere eventually will get OmniMechs of their own (Black Hawk-KU, Owens, Strider, Avatar, Sunder, BlackJack-Omni) and be able to use both omnipod technology with specialized weaponry like Rotary Autocannons, MRMs, X-Pulse Lasers, T-Bolt Launchers, Inferno Rockets, Light and Heavy Gauss rifles, Hypervelocity Autocannons. It's also the fact that the animations aren't convincing to me. 'Mechs like the Raven or Mad Cat never run even though they did in the rest of the games. The cockpit bob is a generic back-and-forth movement with no difference on torso twist and Head location (like the Thor's cockpit should be bobbing asymmetrically) and your viewpoint is just suspended in midair, never bobbing around. MechWarrior: Living Legends 'Mech animations may look a little stiff but that makes sense in an in-universe perspective, you want to keep the MechWarrior inside as stable as possible to make accurate shots and the cockpit movement looks a lot more heavy and great.

the good news is MWO is finally adding some of those weapons, oddly in the upcoming Civil War update, i think clan tech gets the short end of the stick for new weapons, the only real new things they get are Heavy Lasers and ATM missiles which seem like their gonna be a bit too technical for alot ofp eople since their damage will be based on travel distance, not sure if that means their gonna be like LBX ACs aka "closer is better" or something like "farther is better" but IS on the other hand gets the full range of LBX and Ultra ACs, Rotary ACs, Heavy and Light Gauss, Light PPC AND Snub-Nose PPC (and 1 other i beleive) and of course MRMs, Rocket Launchers, a new Stealth Armor which has benefits aimed at units that can use ECM...and other stuff i cant remember basically IS gets a huge boost in weapon variety with this update, clan not so much, but heavy lasers could very well be VERY scary to fight

lol that last bit with the catapult may have been me, Founders Cat 2x LRM 15s with 4 ML and 2 Jump Jets, That's the hill I sit on every match to Rain LRMs back in the day.

1:49 That brings back memories...I remember I got that game in 1999 when I was a kid and it was the first game I played on a computer. I played that game so much...

Reactor online, Sensors online, Weapons online - All systems nominal -> moment of goosebumps for a mechwarrior fan when i saw the first trailer of MW online

It really is crazy to see how much of a difference there is between MechWarrior and MechWarrior 2.

I got into Battletech with second edition, but as far as video gaming it was Crescent Hawk's Inception that got me hooked to this day.

MW3, so amazing. Stomping and gibbing infantry and vehicles was the best. great video!

It's part of the MWLL soundtrack. I don't know what its name is, and you wont find a whole version uploaded anywhere (if you do, tell me). I pieced it together from its use in numerous trailers in official videos.

Consider the dact that MechWarrior Living Legends never was an official Title, but a fanmade mod for another game, it´s impressive how much they managed to get out of it.

Oh the memories contained in this single video.

We have come such a long way.

at freaking last, welcome back

i think so, too. it was the first one i played (sort of) so it will always have a soft spot for mechwarrior 3.

I didn't realize these were so old. But I guess I do remember playing MW3 around '99. I still have my discs.

I think control + 0/Ins on the numpad. It gives you direct control over your arms and look direction. Combined with a full torso twist in some mechs you can shoot behind yourself.

Far too much time was (and still is) spent playing all these games - including the original MechWarrior. Brings back a lot of great memories!

Mechwarrior 2. I loved that game. I sucked at it, but, I was only 3 when it came out, and 6 when I first played.

+jayive34 Same here! i was pretty young for that one, but i played it a lot.

I came into Battletech/MechWarrior through the Battletech cartoon, and now I've become and avid fan of everything related to it and have a better understanding of what went on in that universe. Fighting in it, is another thing altogether.

brings back alot of mech 2 memories, the game that got me into pc gaming in the first place

Holy crap seeing mechwarrior 1 just blasted me full of nostalgia, what an awesome represetation of the BT univers for the time that was, all the way down on how you could not repair everything because parts were not available.

Nice vid. MW2 was the big game changer. It was really ahead of its time.

Memory fills in the jaggies, which is why HD remakes of older games are still popular: it looks like how you remember the original.

mechwarrior 2 was incredible. the music and the graphics at the time were amazing.
