MechWarrior Cinematics Collection [I, II, III, IV, MWLL, (V), MWO] 

That was stupid! He delayed them 30 seconds...🙄

Sigma Lead was a damn badass. I'm guessing he was probably one of Dresari's men.

Look at the bright side, kid. You get to keep all the money

@christine Le F

Artie the Swolest Man in the World He apparently did have a name. Tarquin Cardona. Learned this not too long ago and it’s never mentioned in game. Only on the MW4 Vengeance IMDB page.

Yep. gave me chills, seeing how the targeting computer kept trying to make sense of the machine. With the clanner eyeing him up for the challenge. We need Mechs, dammit, and we need them. Now! We need to get there, Yesterday. _(but maybe skipping the glassing of entire worlds, that'd be nice)_

What's The Story Of The Mad Dog/Vulture?

@@sailormoonfan692derekweter6 Vulture is the Inner Sphere designation due to its hunched looking posture. Mad Dog, if I remember correctly, was used purely as an insult to Clan Wolf. Can't remember which Clan first designed the 'Mech. Smoke Jaguar or Jade Falcon, I think, one of those two.

On this day, November 22, 2023, I give to you your one hundreth like.

I'm listening to the audiobooks at work and that scene played on Wednesday.

My intro to the series. Also: Sergeant Unther: I'm in the big 'mech in front of you. Shoot me even once... and I'll tear that beer can you call a 'mech into scrap. 7 year old me: Which one was the "fire everything" button again?

I believe it was running away from the ullers/kitfoxes

She isn't completely incorrect, the Atlas is technically the 'tank' of the lance.

ComStar is fake news.

followed by the urbies...owchie

@@Mitissa515 what are you talking about Atlas are scout recon mechs

Its that amazing soundscore, epic.

frustriert my favorite as a kid until today was the mech commander one, with meh warrior two right after it.

LONG LIVE KV! ~ Lord Spectre

@@feartheghus I agree, the mechcommander one is the best, followed by mechwarrior 2

Yes, it’s easily the best of all those here.

c'mon there were a bunch of Nova Cats nearby.

The Nova Cats were equipped with ER PPCs if I recall. I always wondered why they had one Uziel among three Nova Cats, but I'm glad because the Uziel is my favorite.

That Uziel took center stage on the box cover and everything!

I would say he just had many heat sinks build in his Mech so he has good heat efficiency

It wasn't clearly stated that the Uziel fired the shots More likely the Nova cats fired them

INDEED !!!!!!!!

yeah.......my love Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries

sometimes..simplicity..speaks way heavier then the alternatives...a tank dont need to speach to its crew for them to know when all systems says Go its ther decisions that will decide if the weapon at ther hands keeps them alive..or dies with them.

forgot to add OVERRIDE ENGAGED.

Want to keep playing untold battles as a mech commander? There is a tabletop game. Your experience is not complete without it. It comes in two flavors. Beginner box, 2 plastic mech miniatures, simplified rules. Battletech a game of armored combat. 8 miniatures, standard set of rules, including heat and internal damage. I usually recommend to buy both. If you feel standard rules are too intimidating, you may view the videos of "Battletech fan" youtube channel. A visual guide that shows that rules are common sense to simulate what happens with stompy robots. If you are a parent, Battletech game is like chess with math. So if you want to keep your kids sharp for STEM and spend some quality time with your family, try Battletech standard tabletop. You may love to watch the educational power of tabletop Battletech.

Christian Escudero they certainly could now, and with all the lore to work with it’d be comparitevly easy to make one that isn’t just a game rip off

Back when I was a kid and played Mech Commander all the time, I honestly thought that Mech Commander was a game adaptation for a movie for a short time because of the opening XD

MechCommander and MW2: Mercs always had the best intro cutscenes, easily. And the most lore-friendly ones as well. The Timber Wolf even killed the Hunchback first because he knew the AC/20 was the most serious threat. But I love the MW2: Mercs cutscene for its brutality. I still get chills every time I hear "Look on the bright side, kid. You get to keep all the money."

The mech commander intro is 10/10

I always like how you can see the Colonel smiling in 6:26 . She must not have liked Hardcase.

Yep, spent a lot of time on the MSN gaming zone with that one.

"i KNOW what you've got .. HOLD your position !"

True however that raven should have been toast getting hit in the back

there was a centurion on that lance

having played MCG (Mech Commander Gold) can tell you that it's not easy to pin a 75 ton madcat that moves just as fast as a raven. . . (using the Stiletto it's possible as that thing was the fastest unit available but you trade speed for weapons and armor so even catching one you still had issues killing it)

100% with you about it.

pirana games is making a mechwarrior 5 as of 2016

@@Lil_vara nope got withheld til early 2019

The Vulture's Leg Armour is rubbish for its tonnage, it is so easy to leg its silly, but then what else do you expect for a medium omni mech that fit's 4 LRM 15's, 4 tons of armmo, and still has room for 4 med lasers. its supposed to sit at the back and bomb the shit out of stuff.

@@mortyjhones4068 oh ok so it's the mech equivalent to a tank destroyer like in war thunder most tank destroyers don't have as much armor but have a lot of firepower and are normally in the back sniping (most of the time 😑)

​@@mortyjhones4068 The Mad Dog is a 60t Heavy mech though, and the only way it could fit that much weaponry is if you basically took a vast majority of its armor off, and while that's not THAT big of a deal since it is meant to be a Fire Support LRM machine, I think you'd do better with more ammo since firing 60 missiles a go will drain your ammo stores after like 10 or so shots. Standard config is Dual LRM-20s, Dual Large Pulse Lasers and Dual Medium Pulse Lasers, which I just can't help think would be a little bit more versatile than your set up... (Though I turned mine into a Heavy Medium Laser boat in MWO, it's obscene how many HMLs with sinks to match you can fit on a Mad Dog.)

I outfit my vulture with cll, and lrms. Just need to watch out for the heat. Nova cat is more my style,

You guys are sleeping on the splatdog, where you have 6xSrm 6’s and 4 micro pulse lasers. Make an atlas sweat in city

Overheating?

Under the assumption that it had PPCs to begin with.

Xenomorpheus Those were PPCs The pilot kinda sucked Might’ve been a cadet since the other mech in the area was a cadet

@@badbeardbill9956 Oh you're right, I'd forgotten about that. Must have bid poorly . . . firing only 1 shot from his PPCs and then unloading with the MG or whatever weapon that was. XD

@@ScornedOne1080Thing is, in the game a few MGs can shred armor quite fast. I can't tell you how many times I loaded a Dire Wolf with 10 MGs and destroyed mechs in mere seconds...

With dgvoodoo and modern resolutions with API enhancements it still holds its own quite well.

@@ppmguire you managed to get it working? I had loads of graphics card issues

without a doubt it would hold up well mw4 and 2 would do well 1 would need a remake due to it being on Nintendo no real dialogue.

@@jasongarfitt1147 Yes, we've gotten quite a few people on the game. One guy was streaming the campaign last night on Twitch after getting it going at 1440p.

@@ppmguire I need this in my life. Tell me what to Google

+Oliver Holmes u really meant the first video game, or the first MW (pc) game?

first video game ever! I think I was about 5 years old

Me too!

Oliver Holmes was I have to work

Oliver Holmes l played it when I was in high school and it was fun.👍

Red alert 2.

Totally

It actually bothers me. I get that the hanger probably exploded from ammunition being detonated by the rockets, but why the hell would they run in a straight line towards incoming heavy artillery missiles while trying to rely solely on AMS to protect them. Also, why did she immediately panic when fired on, instead of evading the incoming fire? Why is he telling her to eject from an undamaged mech before even being hit? What the hell kind of weapon was that to take out a Shadow Cat in a single hit? Theres way too much fuckery going on for me to enjoy the MW4 intro.

@@Corgblam Must be hard not being able to enjoy anything at all ever due to inconsistencies and "fuckery" in every bit of media.

@@Corgblam Arrow IV hit in cockpit

There's a million things wrong with the MW4 intro in terms of details, but in terms of effects and graphics it does look the best. They would need to hire someone who actually gave a damn about the lore to make a movie though. This war is supposed to take place in the Inner Sphere but almost everyone is using Clan 'Mechs. MW4 always confused me when I played it as a kid because I never understood why anyone wouldn't use "Clan extended range" versions of every energy weapon. Only much later did I find out that the Clans and Inner Sphere haven't shared technology for 300 years. I don't usually get bothered by one-hit kills because there are almost always edge cases in BattleTech where that happens anyway. Through-armor criticals that hit ammo bins and other such shit.

God I hated Urbanmechs!

Urbanmechs are amazing.

I was always a Marauder, Zeus and Shadowhawk fan myself. Every time I used an Urbanmech i got rekt, so after a few rapings the hate started.

They're surprisingly strong in MWO. Since it's a bunch of actual people you're fighting, they tend to prioritize other mechs over the little Urbie. Usually I can get a good bit of damage in if I'm sticking to a pack of heavies or assaults.

Ahhhhhh.... Haven`t played MWO. I`m an old man who played the table top version in my parents garage in the 80`s. Looooooved it. Great memories.

AC3's intro was easily my favorite in that series.

REPLAYING the best intro, it still gives me chills cas of the music

Also on MW2 CD there was normal music which you could play in CD-Player. First track was game but other was simple audio tracks. Music was great.

REPLAYING glad I'm not the only one who thought that, especially the Kodiac

@@Rabestern I put it to play in a xmas party once hah.

Replayed that 1st mission so many times to get that Madcat....

Nice. It's about 2 decades now, when we played the first epic Installments. Imagine one day there is someone, who can bring out a MWO Modification for a Remake of the classic games with the Crysis/U4 Engine. That would be sooo awesome!

+Blagg Zear Umm..... you mean Mechwarrior Living legends, its a remake on the Crysis engin

+xDog .SoldieRx Your wish is granted

You can pilot a Kodiak now.

I think it would be cool to start a year or so before the invasion and have the first season feature the crew of the Outbound Light along with others like Victor, Phelan Kell, and so on. Then the season finale can end with the arrival of the Outbound Light over Huntress. Season 2 can then feature the Clans planning for the invasion along with Inner Sphere storylines (maybe even have flashbacks to events from the 3020s like the battle of Misery) and then end season 2 with the Clans showing up in the Periphery. Season 3 then has the invasion proper and ends with the death of the IlKhan, then the next season is all about the period between invasion waves. Followed up by the renewed invasion. Feature the Battle of Luthien and then the Battle of Tukkayid in the final season. I don’t know, you could do a lot.

@@badbeardbill9956man their is so many ways to go about this. i like your idea too because its a good way to do season finale's especially for new people who are new to the battletech universe lore. but who knows someone might pick up battletech as an idea for a new show and maybe call the show THE INNER SPHERE or just INNER SPHERE.

@@badbeardbill9956 Tukkayid would be like an entire season of Comstar just shitting on clanners.

And after that a spin-off / prequel; starting with the Amaris coup, and Alexander Kerensky kicking ass and Saying 'No' to the great houses before taking the SLDF fleet onto his exodus into unknown space to keep the warships out of the Houses hands and ultimately start a new civilization. The failings of mankind that follows them and how this great leader just gets worn down by the human failings around him. With his son taking up the mantle to form what ultimately will be the clans. Maybe do a bit side-by-side highlighting the clans reflecting the motions of the Inner Sphere under a misguided leader (who thought a caste system was a good idea) This incidentally allows us some much needed bagpipe and whiskey fueled mad badassery that is the goddamned Blackwatch*. This can be OUR _The Hobbit,_ but actually good. _*The mad lads for whom nukes are a mere inconvenience_ [Edit to add:] We can do some light-hearted shorts / cutaways following the misadventures of a Steiner Scout Squad. Could be a fun christmas special.

And by GOD did it make you hate Katherine.

The heavy turret in the bottom looks awesome

7 years later, you finally got your wish :)

I'm partial to the MW2: Mercenaries one, but the only one that demonstrates good in-game tactics is Ghost Bear's Legacy.

@@MegaZeta MechCommander was good (if you ignore the dramatically long pauses where the Raven should have been destroyed, but that's standard in film). Rear torso armor is extremely thin so some LRMs and an SRM2 could feasibly kill a Timber Wolf that quickly.

@@CrizzyEyes Also likely the Centurion probably landed at least one AC/10 hit back there too. Plus that was a Commando, so some of those were SRMs. A lot of SRMs. Commandos do punch well above their weight if they can get a flank.

VomitousLeviathan before my time haha

Haha, MW2 is almost as old as me. That being said, it's the first in the series I ever played because my brother had a PSX (and of course that game as well).

Still gonna be!

@@ctakitimu different game altogether, though. This was released a year before MWO was announced.

look at these intros compared to now :(

nice nod to Phelan's targeting comp schitzing out from the books.

also would love a non mechassault game that has fucking power armor :D i wanna hack some other players in the game and hijack a mech XD HAHAAHAH

25:26 evernotice how he tries to sound like specter one of the most iconic pilots in the game side franchise.

@Criss Poyner why do you ask?
