Our dropship touches down at the mercenary base on the planet Outreach. It is May 10, 3044.

The Lobby. We hear a female announcer mention that the gravitron ball colliders are malfunctioned, so the base is Code Blue.

An automated message triggered by the commander's death.

The Office. The other door goes into the Mech Bay but we don't need that right now.

capture_13092009_005936.jpg

Since we are starting out, we don't need to manage anything right now.

This is the best paying and most interesting contract available. The two others are recon and training missions.

Can you choose between different contracts/campaigns or is it linear? Seems like a fun concept, if only I could make out what is going on in the screens.

Yes sir you can choose. Sometimes it's random and some contracts aren't available in different playthroughs. But there is usually always a few different contracts you can chose from every time you return to base. And there are 4 factions you can work for.

I always wanted to play MW2 but never had a copy of it back in the day. In college (when it was new) I played MW4, but Microsoft really just watered it down to be an unastounding cross between a very shallow and limited mech sim, and a very unsatisfying FPS.

This doesn't look nearly as bad graphically as I expected it to. Also, is MW3 any good? It seems to be much closer in spirit to MW2 than 4 was.

I only played the demo to MW3 but it seems enjoyable. MW2:M definitely has unique gameplay though, especially as far as career management goes.

Great game. MW2:M is the only MechWarrior I played intensively. Good times.

It really was one of the more immersive games of the series. The various news bits you read actually meant something. It says pirates dumped a load of med. lasers on the market and bingo, suddenly theres a lot of m. lasers for sale cheap. Some famous merc decides to retire and sell his Hatamoto-Chi mech, there it is at the market.

So many missions were a blast to go through. The escape from the Clan prison camp was the hardest for me. I would so pay for just a graphical upgrade for this game, leave everything else alone.

A good place to own a gun.
I played this obsessively. Many sweaty hours hunched over a 15" monitor with a backache. Early 3D is too harsh for another look though, I'll stick to this LP. Might look into that 3DFX version, but I'm not holding my breath.

Continue please. Always wanted to get into Mech games and this looks like it'd be perfect with improved graphics.
