  • There's nothing cooler than a Timberwolf!

  • MECH WARRIOR, CHOOSE YOUR CLAN

  • This reminds me of when activison didn't suck

  • I never understood how could 4 PPC burst could blow up a Thor and how one SRM could blow up a MadCat in this intro when in the game it took quite much more!

    ...can a MadCat fire 4 PPCs at once?

  • @pentanitrophenol i remember how all video game intros back in the day were inconsistent like this. bahaha

  • @pentanitrophenol They weren't called MadCats in MW2. They were called Timberwolves (Timberwolf) ;)

  • @ssjkosmo There were Mad Dogs though. They were one of my favorites.

  • I am 16 years old and wish I could still play this game. I found a patch to get it working but my dad and I don't have the CD. I am a true MW fan, and I troll my friends because they think I'm talking about Modern Warfare. I'd take this game over Modern Warfare any day.

    This line chills me every single time I hear it:

    "It's got a lock me, it's got a lock on--" WHOOM!!! Missile impact... --

    Great game, phenomenal series. I heard all the MechWarrior games had to keep being taken off the shelves b

  • Mechwarrior Tactics just announced. I hope its as bad ass as this game was. I miss mechwarrior and this is one of the most memorable intros of any video game, ever.

  • the best intro EVER

  • Awesome game with super awesome soundtrack

  • ah memories..

  • god, i loved this series!! I bought the Sidewinder Pro joystick just to have torso twist.  what happened to simulation games like this?

  • the scary moment when you find your self staring directly at a Thor that about to send you to your grave

  • ORGASM!! 

  • Dat Summoner! too bad they were crap in the actual game

  • I had the first two MWs. I finished the first one but the second one had a glitch where I couldn't move the target vertically. So basically unplayable. I thought at the time I just wasn't doing something right but much later a friend showed me his copy and it worked just fine. By then, unfortunately, I had given up. I never knew there were more games after. There's even a V! Must have been awesome. What I don't get is, in this age of first person shooters, where is MechWarrior??

  • @Solarcoreg 5 isn't out yet...

    Where is MechWarrior in this day and age? The technology just isn't here yet. I've been playing MW: Living Legends which is a mod of Crysis, and in all honesty, it's not a good game. Not to say the devs aren't working their asses off, and really Crysis is the bad game, but it's nothing compared to how these games will be.

    And BF2142 was garbage in all regards, so my case is settled.

  • @iAmThePhatMan You can thank a legal dispute with American anime distribution company Harmony Gold who have constantly fighting with the holders of BattleTech over the inclusion of some old anime 'mechs in the BattleTech universe...

  • @Jwend392 wait, what? You lost me or responded to the wrong person. Micro$oft gave up after MW4 and just sat on the license until that one company finally pried it from their icy grip, and so, MW:O a cometh.

  • The in-game lore you could read on both clans and their history is what got me hooked. Was it really 10+ years ago? Hah.

  • What I dont get is. His PPC's should have recharged. And he sustained no damage. When his machien guns ran out of ammo why did he not just select a new weapon group? Its like they expect us to believe his PPC's ran out of ammo! His heat level wasnt even critical :-P

  • wish i was gen y sadly im not

  • 24 people had a lock on them on shutdown

  • My family had the ATI Rage edition which featured graphics card support. Sadly, that's the only computer the game would work on. We still keep that computer for the sole purpose to play Mechwarrior II.

  • I fucking cried. Such nostalgia...

  • oh my,,,,,,,,,,,,,, im a kid again

  • Before 2000 I gladly referred to Mechwarrior 2 as MW2. Now prepubescent children think I am talking about modern warfare 2.

  • You don't go close range with a Mad Cat vs a Thor! D:<

    whoever trained those pilots... sucks.

  • Summoner beats Timber Wolf ever time!

  • "Warning..Ammunition level, critical!"

  • Oh man, the opening line to this cinematic gives me freaking chills. The rest of the voice acting in the video is kinda eh, but A) this was back when voice audio was totally abnormal for a game to have, and B) goddamn. That first line.

  • "Its gotta lock on me! Its got a lock..." BOOM!! Still makes me cringe when he gets hit to this very day.

  • great game for that time. Also the tribal/futuristic soundtrack was very good

  • Ah, yes. I remember way back when Activision had some integrity. They were good times.

  • What does bravo cadet say @ 34? i've always tripped on that.

  • @H4RM0N1C5 Be Ready, two of 'em - feet on the rise ( at least one is jumping )

  • @ultraboykj Sounds like "Behind me, two of them" -- but either way, he's in bad shape, eh? :)

  • This was one of the best immersive games I've ever played. You felt like you were actually there.

  • Such a cool vid I wish someone renamed it with wicked graphics. Keep the audio though :)

  • This video is awesome, even though it has tons of flaws when it comes to battle tech lore, like a madcat that appears to be armed with 4 PPCs and two machineguns... (In Mechwarrior 2 PPCs shot balls of lightning rather than beams, so I'll assume that's what that is supposed to be...) Also what is that weird gray cone of death the Thor uses to kill the cadet? Lastly the voiceover doesn't at all match with the setting, they say a bunch of stuff the clans never would.

  • ETA 34 seconds...

  • R.I.P. Activision, thanks for everytghing!

  • I will never forget the first time I saw the intro to this game.. I was 7 years old and my dad was playing, the guy came over the radio "Alpha assault, what is your current situation?!" My dad responds with (as the summoner is raising his gaus rifle) "Not too good" and right as he finished saying "good" BOOM there goes the Timber wolf... *sigh* I really wish I could play this again.

  • The first time I saw this back in the day, I ended up thinking The Jade Falcon were the good guys and the Clan Wolf were the evil cadet-killing baddies...

    Now I see it again. Good job Wolf dude! Falcon crusaders suck ass!!!

  • Holy hell I loved this game. Had my first job and I remember trying my damnedest to get off early to go home and play. I used to say the this intro video over and over in my head ( and sometimes out loud ).

  • DUUUDE this game was so badass!!! thanks for putting this on here

  • I usually don't say Pwn... but the amount of Pwnage this video generates explodes my fucking face.

  • Contractions from my Clan mech pilots? I think not! Filthy free-birth scum, they deserve to die!

  • Comment removed

  • Behind me! Two of them, feet on the rise!

  • I got this game (the "Pentium Processor Edition") with my Pentium 100mhz, 16 mb RAM in 1996. It's the best!

  • had to go out and buy the latest graphics card just to play this mother! This is when the pc ruled the gaming world and would cost you 169 quid for a new voodoo open gl

  • good old days!

  • damn. I used to play this as a kid on the psx. Amazing game. Im getting nostalgic right now. ;D

  • The disc I have has Smacker video files that don't look quite as good as this. Is the resolution of this video 300x200? If so I guess I'm imagining the quality gap.

  • got this game with my gateway 2000

  • First time I saw this was as a preview at the front of the Stargate VHS we'd hired. I think I watched this more times than Stargate itself :)

  • OH MY GOD! I miss this so MUCH. 1996 come back to me. Torin's Passage. And I remember there was the bumper care game with the flags and my dad bought me a joystick that I used to plat that and Mechwarrior. HEAVEN.

  • OH MY GOD! 

  • Thumbs up if it was the best game you ever wrote. :)

    Thank you, everyone, & glad you had fun. Sincerely -

  • The first and best MW2.

    HEH

  • Im fav comp game

  • Mechwarrior 2 is THIS game?! I was still in China when I first played this game on my IBM Aptiva, rocking the Windows 98, of course!

  • They should remaster this game for current PCs. I would totally buy it.

  • Civ II

    Mechwarrior II

    Starcraft

    1994~1998: The golden age of PC gaming. We are lucky to have experienced it. Gen. Y pride.

  • @jpoppish Gen Y? You were just lil babes in the 90s. Gen X.

  • @Daemonocracy

    I am gen Y, and i was playing this at 8y/o and it was the first game i ever played, and it is epic!

  • @jpoppish you forgot descent

  • @blackbrock2518 descent2 is still alive with project d2x-xl. Just google for it. It's free and very nice project.

  • @jpoppish + Myth: The Fallen Lords

  • @jpoppish I was born the year it ended :(

  • @jpoppish I was born the year it ended :(

  • @avidigno haha that's okay - you can still be a fan. I love the 80's too but they ended when I was 3!

  • @jpoppish You lucky bastard...

  • @jpoppish no doubt man.. this is back when Activision actually made good games.

  • @jpoppish Y U NO DEUS EX OR SYSTEM SHOCK 2?

  • @donov25 can't say that I do. are they also from the Golden Age?

  • @jpoppish No. from 2000 and 99.

  • @jpoppish sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true bro. gen Y pride. sooooooooooo true.

  • I had this game on Playstation,intro gave me goosebumps.

  • This was the glorious days when Activision used to make great games. Right now they make shit.

  • wow it's ben a long time but MW2 was an amazong Game, got mine with my MATROX Mystique 3d Graphics Card

  • Where's HQ's broadcast coming from?

  • This is HQ, what is your situation? DEAD!

  • I got this with a Sidewinder. Fucking awesome.

  • @mattiatorX

    I bought a joystick for flight simulator, offer with it : Mechwarrior 3.

    My best use of it was to play it and I still have both the joystick and the game installed. Which is far to be the case for any flight simulator.

    I will definitively buy Mechwarrior 5 since it seem to be back on actual simulation

  • @Tribersman I do have my worries about this game appearing on Xbox 360... I just hope they don't dumb it down like hell.

  • @darkuran

    Well, personally when I heard Microsoft sold the license and old member of the team worked on it I discovered a new faith in humanity.

    If it was still made by Microsoft I wouldn't even consider buying it, my eyes are still burning from the supposed "beauty" of any of all the MW4, MW4 spin-off, MW4 expension pack, "Grand Thefts Battlemech" (just joking about that one game where you can hijack Battlemech)

  • This brought back so many awesome memories. Thanks for the upload!

  • i got it for sega saturn!

  • Ok.....keep track of commercials, movies, shows, etc that use those SFX in the intro. So far I've heard them in Terminator 3, Battle LA, and a Clear Wireless commercial.

  • Bad to the ass.

  • Machine guns are actually some of the best weapons in the game if you use 4 or more and group them. Just drop all weapons except for some lrms to soften up the enemies, put 4 machine guns with 600 amo each and a medium pulse laser, group all weapons and hold down the fire button. Its continuous 15 damage per second with barely any heat. You will kill enemies fast and makes the game pretty easy. Plus, no heat buildup.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you, Eric, for the great game...

  • i miss games like this. sure it wasn't super pretty but it sucked you in like a black hole.

  • Anyone remember lag shooting? Ah yeah, Netmech.

    

  • russ_bullock Russ Bullock

    All #MechWarrior fans should start following @russ_bullock and @bryanekman spread the word.

  • Still one of the best produced intros ever made. with todays technology we could make the entire game on the caliber of this intro or better.

  • I've always wanted to drive to work in a battle mech.

  • back in '95 i found this INTENSE. i still do.

  • I refused to join the army because of this ! Their tanks were only horizontal ...

  • I got this on my PS1......can't beat the classics.

  • Ever since I was five, I can never get over this intro. I used to play this game on my uncle's computer all the time.

  • awesome game. bring back memories. mechwarrior, heavy gear and crazy ivan

  • I bought this game in 2005 or 2006 from a garage sale. This was the times of Gears of War, the 360 and PS3, and the dawn of HD graphics.

    This was my favorite game when I think back to then. Nothing even close to like it.

  • @gettavid Jesus f'in H!.. Me too!

  • This was the best Mechwarrior game ever made, best music, best gameplay, etc. I loved my 3DFX enhanced version.

  • Back in the day this game was beyond amazing

  • I loved this game thanks for the trip down memory lane

  • the best the best the best

  • What was interesting, is you can see that the mech battles are not drawn out affairs. Like in battletech, a fight can be over in a matter of seconds as the weapons are so powerful.

  • you know what would be nice a skin mod for this game so you can have your favorite cartoon characters as battlemechs much like the mod found in UT 2004.

  • I grew up on this game <3<3

  • calm down wetnose!

  • the female computer voice is so sexy

  • Thumbs up if you got this game with your IBM Aptiva PC!

  • @omglollmao123 you know I actually have such a computer with the game itself and I still have it to this day

  • This is THE best mechwarrior sequel made. The original one was also good, though it was in old EGA graphics. Mech2 music, gameplay and general feel just hits it right. I remember taking the game disc and sticking it in my old discman and listening to the tunes. Good times.

  • ITS GOT A LOCK ON ME ITS GOT A LOCK ON M- fire.

  • @Str4ng3F0lk thumbs up because I didn't know what he was saying all these years... "in-falafel me! IN-FALAFEL ME!!"

  • @takeiteazyd Don't know if you're just kidding or not... but I'm pretty sure he's saying "It's got a lock on me! It's got a lock on me!!"

    Sucks to be him...

  • Oh god lol I remember this game. LOVED this game. Loved that intro transmission.

  • Mad Kat Attacks with MACHINE GUN!..........It's not very effective.

  • Oh My God...I just got major Nostalgia from watching this.

  • This is hq to any avaliable Units we have mechs down at nav gama......Thumbs up if u watched this video more than twice because it brought back memories

  • This was a superb intro at it's time.

    Btw.. at 0:52 you can see bandit's weapon (rockets?) getting disabled by the machine gun barrage. Unfortunately his other weapon was enough to finish off the clansman from point blank range.

  • Why can't they make PC games like this anymore......?

  • @DrnkSqrrlProductions too many fps faggots 

  • @DrnkSqrrlProductions Because people keep buying crock like Call of Duty.

  • You know you remember MechWarrior 2 when you can name all the Mechs in the game. My favorite is Hellbringer.

  • Had one of the best ambient soundtracks I have ever heard.

  • My god I haven't played in 10 years I still know all the words and i found the old cd for it and tried to play it but it crashes on the start up with all compatability settings on. So I tried to dual boot my computer with 98 instead of Xp but 98 says i have too low memory even though i have 4Gb of RAM :(

  • @tubeyou346 you have to run it in either win95 compatiblity mode (google it) dosbox (googly it) and with a "ram slower" (google it).

    basically our computers these days are too fast to run these prgrtams, they overload their code.

  • omg brings back so many wonderful robotic memories

  • No, Ghost Bear clan is the best!

  • watch?v=RgojYKuYrd4

    Startup sound for cars. (MW2)

  • 8yroldMe: Oh cool! mom?...MOM! What game is..OH! He just crushed that head" Mom: HUSH! SON! Me: ?????????... Game: ExlOsiONNS!!!! Me: OH WOW DID YOU JUST SEE...??! Game: "HES GOT A LOCK ON ME HES GOT A-HissBOOM! Me: OH! NO! whatha!...*tears flood eyes* Game: *heavy sustained machine gun fire* Me: *has longest 15seconds of his life* Game: Weaon deleted Me: *grows first chest hairs* Game: *Firey greatness* Like the old saying goes...It sucks being stuck inbetween a rock and a Summoner! :D
  • @MrTex1987 your gay

  • @JoslynLoves2Laugh What! 

  • @JoslynLoves2Laugh You corny mother fucker

  • When we got our old Windows 95 IBM Aptiva we got this game with it. Watching this again after so many years brought tears to my eyes.

  • @SheaTheCelt

    We got the demo with one of those machines as well! I grinned when I saw this intro for the first time in about 8-10 years. :D

  • @SheaTheCelt Holy crap dude! I totally forgot the name of the computer it came with. IBM Aptiva was definitely it. Great game. Wow brings back memories. Also Torin's Passage came with the Aptiva but definitely played MW2 more.

  • IT"S GOT A LOCK ON ME! thanks for the uplaod man.

  • only 10 more centuries until we have combat mechs

  • What a shitty pilot in the Timberwolf. He used his MACHINE GUNS against the Thor? Gimme a break, just unload a full alpha strike on its left leg THE END

  • @Guesswork01 You use the Clan name for the Timber Wolf, yet you use the inner sphere name for the Summoner?

    Alpha strikes are the arse-fucked addition to the franchise. Created by people who didn't stop to think that by firing all your weapons at once wouldn't blow the fuck out of your own 'mech, instead of the enemy.

  • @Gallowell Good call. Although Im not sure which version your using, but in mine slash damage is a real bitch...and in reality, also in simulators, a ballistic missile is never going to collide with a beam of light, laser or ulse....but missiles will collide with other missiles, which haens in my face almost everytime I use Alha strike. And machineguns save lives. Well they will buy you time at least. (you can shoot missiles down with them) I JUST started laying again...can u tell? lol. :)

  • @Guesswork01 Yeah, bad idea, unless you enjoy the crutch of being oversized and getting 0 weight class oints. You didnt study your archives and you're not seeing the two diff fighting styles. With just two machineguns he comromized the Summoner's arm actuator before unloading the rest of his ammo into his back (which had him by oh idk 100 tonnes) Heres a lesson freebirth. Get hot and armor is weakend, actuators are slowed and they will be the first to go. Learn from Bravo Cadet. JadeFalcon4life!

  • Soooo.. It's 2011 can we make this a reality now or what?

  • @resonance2012 Nope, another 1000 years to go. :(

  • Man, I use to play the crap out of this game. Thanks for the memories.

  • Played this Game for years, has memories, through playstation Original, my Bigger Bro bought me this one, was 7-8yrs @ time, it was hard game

  • I certainly did not forget about the heat build up from two PPC but in every mech I have ever piloted from MW1 to MW4, unless you had a terrible configuration that didn't really bother with heat sinks for anything other than aesthetic value, I never had it build up so much heat I had to resort to machine guns that ran out of ammo after 15 seconds. And keep in mind it was about 25 seconds between that first mech being blown apart and the final conclusion...plenty of time to cool down.

  • I was lucky after purchasing the Diamond Monster 3D and finding the 3dfx version of MW2 in the package.

  • I played this as a 14 year old and now with nearly 30 i still remember the missions and still love the great soundtrack of this games. This is one of the best games of all times. Still great!

  • I have to say...while this game did kick ass back in the day...the mech Alpha Assault was piloting was pathetic. He could destroy a...what...Thor (?) in one volley of PPCs but then his machine gun ammo only lasts 15 seconds before running out? No lasers or missiles? And it dies in one shot? Epic Fail.

  • @AngerSubscriptions You are like so many other people, always forgetting about the heat build-up. Even firing one PPC, your heat spikes very high, and depending on what heat sinks your 'mech carries, it takes time to dissipate that heat. Notice that two PPCs were fired - that spikes the heat level of ANY 'mech into the red, so you can't use lasers or even missles, as the heat they generate when launched would shut your 'mech reactor down. MGs don't creat heat, so they were all that could be used

  • Yeah thats what he gets for using machine guns on a Thor.

  • I love this classic game! Unfortunately most of the teenager at my school are too retarded or hormone crazed to know what this game is. It fucking pisses me off when I show a drawing of a Timberwolf to my friend and then a blonde looks at it and says "Is that a Transformer?" arragh! I swear everyone is retarded in my school I have a 4.2 GPA and I am #4
