Anyone else hyped about the new BattleTech strategy game?
Molvanian
MW 4, Mercenaries was mine. I did play 2, and it was good, but 4 Mercs is the best.
JimSkaven
Hell yes. Bushwhacker all the way.

Brilliant multiplayer, fantastic soundtrack and some of the best solo missions of any game I've played.
RootAccess
multiplayer you say? eh
theuberkevlar
The soundtrack was epic!
familiarlunch
The disc could be played as a music CD, I used to listen to it all the time.
theuberkevlar
Yup. We made movies and used the M2 music for our soundtracks. :D
tentaclefriendly
The CD had the soundtrack as playable tracks once you skipped the long data track that contained the game. It rocked
SlyMrFox
Earth Siege 2 for me
PocketCleric
this is still my fav game of all time. i just last week got it to work on my windows 8

I played this shit on dial up. Soo much lagg
ScottHitz
Me too! I was one of about only 10-20 regulars who played it. I was probably ranked 10 in the world lol.
jellis45
playing in a party and then you lock up. I called it a day after that lol
Cobaltios
At least 5 looks like it's finally returning to what made the series good.
zooeyfooey
Shogo, Heavy Gear, Armored Core 2, MW4 Mercs, and Hawken were the mech games I spent the most hours playing.
severin681
As a former Radio Shack employee, I spent long lonely mornings in the store playing this.

I did homework at school just so I could play this game as soon as I got inside. My grades went up that year which soon lead to my first PS

Mine was mechwarrior4. But the whole series was awesome. I hope 5 is amazing!

Check out Mechwarrior Living Legends. Awesome. A full Crysis conversion. Player base is only scheduled matches now but still worth playing.

MechWarrior 4 was the best - still think it has one of the best opening videos

Did you play it through Zone.com!?
PeePeeFrictionPleasure
Fuck yeah MW4! I always mained Daishi and Atlas mechs no matter whose side I chose
LaughingSeraphim
oh ghost bear legacy. I have it on dosbox on my pc, but it and gbl wont launch...
mattimer55
Yes!! I was thinking about this game the other day. It's only been like 15 or so years since I've played it...
YouTwoStayHereAndMakeSureHeDoesntLeave
I tried to install it a few weeks ago. Windows 10 was like nope.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing

I liked this game so much I now draw mechs for MWO.

I used to hide my locust behind a rock and take out battlemasters that way, what fun.
HiddenSanity
I went for a weird sniper build for a bit, but that was kinda dull (Give up everything else for heatsinks, and long range firepower/aiming)
CrouchingSniperHiddenCamper
100% of the time, it works every time.
HelloToe
My friends and I called it the bulldog strategy.
siler7
50 ton mech, two medium pulse lasers, lots of heat sinks. Fools looked like fool-ass fools
ScottHitz
Shadowcat with small lasers
JeffGodofBiscuits
I'm trying to remember what I used most of the time... 50 or so tons, jump jets, and I can't remember the name.
valen00
A shit tonne of machine guns would kill anything and not overheat ;->
JeffGodofBiscuits
I think I tried it once, but was pretty disappointed at how effective it was.
itshammertime66
Max out PPCs, one shot then nap time for the mech
iAmNature
Direstar

Marikhen
Or just chain-fire them at a reasonable rate and wreck anything in just 200 meters. ;-)
Marikhen
Or just put an ER PPC on a Firemoth and run around like a little bitch. :-D
Zyntherius
basically my strategy in mech warrior online get an artic cheetah and fill it with pulse lasers
JeffGodofBiscuits
Pulse lasers just generated too much heat for the damage benefits. I remember trying both builds and going back to regular lasers.
Evilwall
Hitting something with 16 flamers is an instant reactor meltodown kill.
JeffGodofBiscuits
I never tried it with flamers, but it was really surprising how fast a ton of small lasers would turn heavy armor into pegboard
iAmNature
works in MWO as well.

MW2 was good, but Tribes there, that's the game that took up more hours of my life than any other.

Countless hours spent planning an assault in R6... only to have my team wiped out over and over.

This definitely needs a reboot.

Mechwarrior Online is pretty damn good. It feels kinda pay-to-win, but the game play is there.
labyrinthconvention
I think it's the least pay to win of any ftp game I've tried. There is, in fact, NO advantage for buying content, however 1/2
labyrinthconvention
it takes a while to figure out HOW to play. I think new players should be forced to start with meds or heavies.
strviking
Or grind to win. But they do get ya going with bonuses for your first 25 games

Mech warrior online
goblue142
The most recent one or for pc was awesome multiplayer. Unfortunately my computer could never hope to run it at a reasonable frame rate.
KinginCrisis
I felt like the new one was too fast paced. It felt more like quake in robots than proper mechwarrior.

IT IS comming! Actual in progress to set a new great singleplayer campain after mech online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUdUP4WobSU

We didn't have a lot of money, so I got a knock off called EarthSiege. Was super grateful regardless and played the hell out of that game.
HelloToe
Did you happen to get into the StarSiege Tribes series? (Same universe, but totally different type of game.)
datpo
Unfortunately not, no. I believe they came out with Tribes around that time, and I'd go play that at a friends house.
Sifernos
I preferred 3. I loved 3. I still have 3 somewhere.
barnwolf
I heard people didn't like 3, but I loved it. Nothing better than sitting on a hill with a Madcat just raining LRM's on people.
barnwolf
The latter games really nerfed LRM's. They are basically only good for softening things up now.
SpartaWolf117
i haven't been able to get 3 to work since windows XP
cheeseguy3412
It runs pretty well in a VMWARE instance of Xp
