  • turn off the heat thingy whatever

  • nice man but let me give you a tip custimze youure mech and turn off the heat signuture thingy whaterver

  • @killerbeel1 wat

  • Hey I've got a question, how come your AMS didn't fire a single round at those missile salvos? I seem to have the same problem, is there some trick to using it?

  • I had a great variant for the Shadowcat. No armor, fastest engine, ton of heat sinks and 5 or 6 medium pulse lasers put into 2 different groups. Constant fire at full speed while selecting through the different groups..

  • It was great to play alone or people that stuck to the clan code of conduct. Then you get all the bunny hoppers online and it was shit to play.

  • Man, back in the day, this game scared the piss outa me. Great game.

  • I like MW3 but I always did prefer the computer lady's voice in MW2

  • i remember when i was younger i didnt have the faintest idea how to play i would just walk around doin shit

  • Never cared for the way MW3 did pulse lasers. It's supposed to be a series of short bursts, not a continuous stream (see Blood Of Kerensky trilogy, M.A. Stackpole).

  • @wolfstarchaser Too many SW lasers and not enough real ones for you... MW3 had it right, that's how a series of short bursts would look like (notice that the beam fades several times) in real life, because the light beam moves so fast it's nearly instantaneous, so it will always look like a continuous stream, and not chunks of light. MW4 really screwed up there, the pulse laser looked crappy and violated physics big time (and where too weak).

  • i declare this to be the best game ever!!

  • COME ON! OVERHEAT THOSE GUNS!!! YEAHHHH!!!!!!

  • Not really. Mechwarrior 3 was as close as they ever got to the novels.

  • Hey,does mechwarrior 4 have a cockpit view like this to?

  • @darkjedi743 "then" :D

  • Ah, MechWarrior 3. Paired with MechCommander, I felt totally immersed in the Counterattack arc. Take that, Crusader clans. I hope the Refusal War didn't hurt you much.

  • They really fixed the leg fragging in MW4. In multiplayer MW4 was better in that aspect, (more balanced mech customization also, less boating)

    MW3 however, had a much more interesting single player campaign.

  • what mechwarrio is?

    i dint even know about this mech warrior

  • If you did that playing multiplayer, people would call you a "legwarrior." I also typically hated doing that, but when you're faced with multiple assault mechs and you're in some pea shooter, you have no choice. Besides, these clanners deserve it. AND you get more salvage that way, screw honor, you're in it to make a buck!

  • I miss this game, i should really reinstall it :v

  • It's too bad I was young when MechWarrior 3 came out, I would of been the first one in line to get it :D. I have a burnt copy of it, but I can't even play the full campaign without it crashing. Their is also the fact that a game of this quality deserves to get paid.

  • I remember I customized a dire wolf/daishi so that it couldn't fire all it weapons at once. If I did it without deactivating weapon heat it'd blow up in a beautiful nuclear blast that'd take most of the mechs and surroundings with it

  • My problem with MW 3 is outlined right here. The kills were too unepic.

  • Loved playing Mechwarrior 3. My only rule in the matches I set up were no custom builds. Fighting with custom builds is easy, but fighting stock REALLY makes you work not to die.

  • @darkjedi743 why in mechwarriors 4 all the inside cockpit views look literaly exactly the same

  • Legger :P

  • Oh come on! You went for the leg? Those are desperation shots! GO FOR THE TORSO!

  • @isocryd your pride will be your end clanner :D

  • @Redmilitiageneral I'll see you in hell, freebird. :D

  • @isocryd You mean Freebirth? lol

  • mechwarrior 2 gameplay is phenomenal compare to all other franchise.

  • I always loved Mechwarrior 3 because it's extremely realistic and deep. Much better than that new Mechwarrior game overfilled with production values. Developpers today become so uncomfortable, like they always worry that if they don't cram enough eye candy into their game, it's not gonna sell. And it's all that matters to them.

  • Mech 3 you felt small in a large mech, Mech 4 not so much

  • mechwarrior 4 had prettier landscapes and the mechs were more comples, MW3 had WAY prettier cockpits and mech textures.

    I also just loved the OH SHIT ITS AN ANNAHILATOR moments of MW3, there were no Mechs in MW4 that could one-shot you.

  • That's low, shooting at the knee joints... whatever gets ya kills I guess lol.

  • i have had this since it came out and it still works

  • @darkjedi743

    the graphics of 4 are much better dude...

  • im a fan of vintage/abandon games... and mecwarrios is one of my biggest myteries bc i havent found a copy of the game. Is there any raliable place to download it?

  • wonderfull memorys, loved how u cud make difrent configurations, i used to use full of the smallest lazers and blast away, altho it heated the machine up almost to the point of doom, but damn effective in a sniper kind of way, this game pwned MW4

  • @darkjedi743 i agree with you on that

  • good times...

  • i still play right back to the Ps copy of MW

  • @darkjedi743 So true.

  • Ah MW3...loved that game's feel. Miss MW2's total sim feel though. I had a Masakari with one UAC20 and seven ERMedium lasers. Engage chain fire, set my thrustmaster to fire and cycle to the next weapon. Just keep clicking the trigger and place your shots and nothing could withstand that. Was medium range though so I had to swap stuff around for those long range missions :)

  • thats not a wild cat, thats a timberwolf right?

  • @mrwhatshisname There's no mech called a wildcat, although the madcat is the I.S. codename for the clan's Timberwolf, hope that helped a bit :)

  • @59n1tr0n72 Wildcat is in Alien Swarm :)

  • Dashi wil wasp paint. Equp all pulse lasers. INSTANT PWNAGE.

  • This brings back memories for ME. I played Mech Warrior Games a lot.

  • Meh. I prefer to use the mouse for precision targetting, rather than always having to move the torso. To each their own I guess.

  • This game was so awesome, I still play it today :P

  • I use unlimited ammo because if you run out there is no way of getting your ammo back!

  • @GODMV1 you could always use your MFB

  • this game truly felt like sitting in a mech.. mw4 was okay but it had not this great feel and the love for details

  • 69,666 views get.

  • this game was awsome until people started hacking. fucking flying dyeeshi's

  • Does anybody still play this at the moment? Cause I'm pretty desperate to challenge anybody on multi player. Hit me up if you any of you guys wanna battle, haha

  • MW3 had outstanding textures. MW4 had abysmal texturing and controls. Took the artists at MekTek as well as a few other skilled artists who worked on the expansion for the game a few years to create textures to replace MW4's horrid textures, but they pulled it off. The current version of MW4 looks nice, but it's controls are still horrid.

  • @MrSplademan they are not to bad though, customization works out well ... i like mouse control over the torso lol

  • stomp stomp stomp~

  • I loved mw3 even more than mw2. I hated mw4 though never got into it, the controls were so bad!

  • I don't know why I could never really get into 3. I don't know why. Probably because I didn't play it back in the day. The 2 trilogy is my favorite and I happen to enjoy the 4 trilogy despite all the haters though I admit I prefer more realistic simulations.

  • @Obviously My main problem with MW3 was the salvage system..For some reason, I could never figure out how to KEEP certain items and not others. I kept losing awesome stuff.

  • i wish the free mechwarrior 4 looked and worked like that.... :(

  • I loved this game. Making custom mechs was the best part.

    I had one mech (I forget what it was called, but it was one of the small ones) that I built purely to go ludacris speed. While most mechs only do 40 or so mph, I had that little bugger going over 150 (if I remember right). Wasn't overly agile at that speed nor did it have much firepower, but it was ludcarisly fast.

  • Nice design but some missiles could be useful. Maybe Clan SRMs instead of the machineguns?.

  • @darkjedi743

    3 was better than 4 in every way except for the online lag/cheating

    single player they dont even come close, mw4 looked and felt like a kiddie game

  • Brings back memories.

  • Classic game back when i was a kid

  • Ah, memories.

  • Sucks that it's a bitch to get MW3 running on XP.

  • @luckyx777 i have it running on windows 7 lol

  • @chromehounds2

    It runs on Vista for me with no problems after updating it to the version 1.2 patch and running it in Win 98 compatibility mode. I think the problem some people have running it is with certain newer video cards and not operating systems.

  • @darkjedi743 nah the grapics in mw4 are better the mechs have a bigger number of polygons to use when ther wer making the models

  • Mechwarrior 3 and 4 has its own advantages. Mechwarrior 4 did have slightly better graphics, but Mechwarrior 3 felt a lot more realistic, and you actually felt like you were shooting at something.

  • It's name is Timberwolf, Inner Sphere scum. Pilot a Clan 'Mech, call it by Clan name.

  • I remember there was a glitch you could pull in that level where you could fall thru the ground and land in an underground temple or base somehow. I cant even remember what it took but i just remember it was fun trying to get it to happen sometimes. Oh the memories of this game. Course i cheated and gave myself god mode and infinite ammo lol.

  • Mech warrior was the shit!!! Way better Mechwarrior 4

  • alpha strike!!

    god i loved this game..

  • 1. i'm so PO'd that this fucks up on vista.

    2. darkjedi743, it is better. 100,000,000 time better. not sure about the graphics (haven't played MW4 for a while), but definitely gameplay=better. MW4 was a disappointment to me. just wasn't as fun. amirite?

  • That was AWESOME!

    I know I sound like an ass but is there anywhere to Download this?

    I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere!

    I really enjoyed Mechcommander number two wasnt as good...

    Mechassualt was OK on Xbox.

    But I never played these ones they look SWEET!

  • @DodgeChallengerules thepiratebay

  • took you long enough to take out the legs get a targeting computer and go for the legs

  • you kno wthe battle mechs kinda remind me of gundams

  • I totally missed MW3. Played MW1-that was primitive but still cool, MW2 my favorite, and MW4 OK but hashed up by Microsoft I thought. Mech bay is the most un-user friendly thing ever in 4.

    Bought MW3 on ebay and won't even load on Vista. Looks cool have to figure that one out.

    MW2 audio really is cool. Soundtrack and the computer voice was spot on. Good post.

  • Anybody play this game online?

  • This MechWorrior game is ok. But for me by far the best game ever was Battletech. And personally I think that game came out decades ahead of its time. Fire control,splash damage,pedals for torso, unbelievable graphics.

  • @eagleofmiami ....u mean MW2 or wat?

  • This game was and still is pretty cool. I tried playing it again on my pc w/ Windows XP and it kept crashing after like the 2nd training mission.. Anyone else have this problem?

  • Nulinus, your're running the wrong version of MC3 for XP, your using the 95/98 build of the game. MC3 Gold has the patch installed so it will run on windows XP. However, that version has a graphics glitch where the GUI is displaced.

  • I love these memories!

  • Not bad. I had an Annihilator that was specially designed to walk in and kill them in one shot. (Ahh the memories)

  • @Darrosified did you ever use the omg shot i mean the TAB button the 1 hit kill

  • @MMBNM If your talking about Alpha-Strikes then yeah. My Mech had like a thousand clanner heat-sinks and all medium pulse lasers. Nice even heat allocations. Sometimes it was like the heat wasn't even a factor. The ER-MPL settup also conserves space so you can add more. Then I used Alpha-Strike when I got into battle. Only downside was Alpha-Strike locked the redicle until I stopped firing. So I just Weapon Grouped the ER-MPLs together, then it let me fire and move my redicle at the same time.

  • @Darrosified thats how it got it's name. lol.

  • You know, I was thinking about the same thing. Why is it, really?

  • epic

  • I wish i had all my mech games back :(

    i had the original Mech Worrior 2 + ghost bear, Mecenaries, Mech 3, mech 3 x-pack, heavy gear, heavy gear 2,

    and lost em, oh well e-bay here i come!

  • god i still have all my mechwarrior disks clan packs and all if anybody knows wheere to play this online still please tell ...

  • mw5 coming soon

  • Not if Harmony Gold has anything to say about it. They issued a cease and desist order to Piranha Games.

  • @nudistennobbel hi m8, try writing New mechwarrior on youtube, and choose one of the first videos... have a nice day.

  • @nudistennobbel - THeres a mechwarrior 5 game coming out soon. Go look up the trailer.

  • OMG i havnt seen or played thissince i was like 5 or 6 omg im excited! :( cany find the disc tho :(

  • MW4 killed it with its crappiness. :(

  • yep. MW4 looked like a cartoon. it was a good story line tho

  • Weisman and his guys are about to let out a reboot of the series coming soon. It takes place in 3015, roughly 40 years before MechWarrior 2.

  • this is more like a real tactic wargame, the others are just more like sci-fi, crap

  • I remember this game. Used to love it.

    Favorite was Madcat.

  • my bloodline will avenge me

  • i dont think there has been anymore well rounded and kick butt mech ever designed in such a complete manner than a madcat.. for its weight range, its simply an awesome mech that combines speed, versatility with kick-a.s.s firepower..

  • I bet you couldn't even complete a mission without using the cheat first and even then, I doubt you even know WHAT the MechWarrior story is.

  • haha i beat that game when i was a kid, i have never used a cheat and am proud to say i never will. I know the story, i played every game and read some books. see u on the battlefield, ill rape u horribly

  • It shows you are still a kid if you are using words like 'rape' to describe how bad you could beat someone. I'd gladly take your arse on, if only to put you in your place. Choose your 'Mech, choose your game, choose your server and let's go.

  • well hey im 19, im young. I think rape was a very good word to use though. Are you more in the mood for MW3 or MW4 (having problems finding my MW4 disc )

  • I am more MechWarrior 3. I have not played MechWarrior 4 simply because I don't like the look of it and how dumbed down it was (that, and I have never played it)

  • i have to agree, MW3 was a lot better. for instance if u get shot in the cockpit in MW3 it showed ur window all cracked and stuff, u had nothing like that in MW4, and MW4 limited the customization of your mech to different weapon types. hit me up for MW3

  • And MW 3 was more realistic than the other MW games, so count me in.

    I'll even pilot a Puma

  • running into a slight problem, my AMS(clan) no longer works.. even tho it did earlier today. and yes it is turned on and ive used many mechs.

    pumas are too light lol id say we both get 70-75 ton mechs

  • I always use the IS AMS whenever I am playing, and if you prefer I not use a Puma, then a 'Mech of 70-75 tons is fine with me. You can choose a Clan Omni if you prefer - I'll be willing to use an IS 75 ton 'Mech.

  • well you called it a madcat... timberwolf :P

    you legged your foe...

    all this adds up to you being a freebirth ^_^

    anyway, major memorys right here! definitely the best of the series IMHO

  • The clanners will burn under the might of the freebirth. We can think for ourselves while you..you all come from your uniformal steel wombs. :P

  • Timber Wolf to the Clans.

    Mad Cat to the Inner Sphere.

    Freebirth: well, aren't we all? Except those deluded into thinking they actually live in the Mech universe.

  • i knew the name things :P

    and... well heheheh, touche to that one i suppose, i always just liked the clans i supposed

  • i made a mech with all lazers before and it instantly removed arms XD

  • i did too i shot all of them at the same time and i exploded lmao

  • hey, is this on xbox? (not 360, the old xbox!)

    and, is this game related 2 mechasalt?

  • The game is from 1999, so no it's only for pc mate...

  • No.  It's for PC.

  • Legger, LOL. But it was only the comp. Actually, sometimes when I run through MW3, I do that too. But never online in MW4, sometime unintentional legging. Give me ER PPCs and Gauss Rifles all the way.

  • i just need Gauss and i make it in 2 seconde! =p

  • there was actually too much of that "overheating" in whole mechwarrior series, kinda fool problem but true it add some strategy to game, and happy was all the fools were overheating all the time :)

    Very "engineerly" made game, microsoft was best at those, hope there is coming some more

  • Not a duelling mech. Lose the back armor. May I recommend dual-AC20's and about 2 tons of ammo each?

  • идиот!!!  кто так работает? конфигурация--полный ацтой(((

  • i played this game back in 2003 i loved it my so called friend broke the cd in 2 don't tell me theres a value in metchwarrior 3 original game

  • lulz, just download the game ^^

  • i already did i just wanna know that he didn't break like 2000$ dollars etc

  • lol wow you almost got raped.... all you can do is blow off their legs with a ppc?

  • I don't think the config this guy used was really that good.

    I have a better one for my madcat featuring some pulse lasers, a UAC20 with 30 shots, and a LRM, I forget which size.

  • yea i think its LBC or something around there, and yea the 20's DOMINATED, LRM 20's were max but MRM 40's were my fav,

  • LBC..

    LBX is an auto cannon. It's the mechwarrior version of the shotgun.

    UAC is more like an automatic rifle set to burst fire, or maybe a UMP45.

    I don't really get what your point with the LBC thing is. Also, I preferred SSRM and Clan LRM because they would actually lock on. And when I didn't want AMS shooting them down I lead-aim.

  • thats one of the coolest cannons you could get and when it fires it ejects the rounds from the sides HAHAHAHA xD AWESOME

  • i like to use all ER Large Lasers, and snipe people out from a distance...

  • sounds like a catapult to me it was easy to do that in MW4 when the mechs were all powered down all you had to do was zoom in aim and fire they woke up when they got shot didn't know what hit em sometimes they wouldn't do shit till they were badly damaged HAHAHAHA lol XD

  • ...

    Usually when they were powered down, it would mean that either

    1) They had no pilot

    2) They overheated.

    When they have been overheated, they will not be able to power up until the heat dissipates. Sometimes they power up when ENTIRELY void of heat, sometimes when heat is not above "recommended level".

  • destroy their mechs quickest way possible less you have to deal with if they ever did power up

  • Well duh. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I was saying WHY they were shut down. You were saying they were shut down because they were stupid. In essence, yeah, because they screwed up and allowed their 'mech to overheat. But they did not shut down their 'mech by themselves out of stupidity.

  • Love this game. All those sounds just gave me jolts of nostalgia.

  • Ah yeah. Just her voice, the lasers, the overheat, zoom, everything is just awsome!

  • Wow this brings back memories before i played Mechwarrior would you agree

  • perfectly illiterates everything great and horrible about Mechwarrior 3.

  • Unfortunately I can't play MW3 on my PC... It runs fine, except for the fact that it stutters.. Sound and video. It's ridiculous and makes it impossible to play.. It's like really bad lag on a online FPS.

  • Are you running Vista?

  • cant wait for number 4 looks cool

  • Number 4?? 4 is already out.. If you mean the newest one, it would be 5, but since they're "rebooting" the series, it's just going to be Mechwarrior.

  • o yeah sorry i meant the reboot...that looks cool

  • Please tell me you're kidding.

  • With how shite MW4 was, I agree with his sentiment.

  • MW4 is awsome

  • Mw4 has already been out for years where have you been lately a cave

  • NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • 5 actually buddy

  • 4's been out for... god knows how long, I think you mean MW5 ;)

  • OMG the original chassis. Mad Cat aka Timberwolf was my favorite model. Why oh why can't i use this on XP or Vista :(

  • You can.

    Theres a patch for it on Google.

    Search it. :-)

  • Oh really! Now my curiosity is set into motion...

  • Ouch that`s not good you can`t win without a leg that happened to me once.

  • lol, I like your madcat dude, love ppc's. That enemy macat got trashed

  • My favourite weapons are the ER Laser and Pulse laser, they are just so effective.

  • God i miss this game.

  • i loved this game so much, it's all i would play

  • god this brings back memories. i remember just completely disregarding the missions and roaming the maps for hours.

  • Hah I did the same thing, used to step on those bastards at the bases and try to jumpjet to random areas.

  • It would be fuck awsome if MW2 (or 3)

    was remade with todays graphics. Not being a graphic whore here. I still play the 2, the 3 and the 4 much more then I play ANY OTHER GAME I OWN. It was just a random idea.

    Maybe replacing the games Graphics engine with the crisis engine (crytek 2). Like some random modder did with TES: Oblivion... Oh god I just shot an orgasm!

    Although. You wouldn't be able to do to share it with everyone else. Because you will be owned by copyright :(

  • There IS a good MechWarrior mod for Crysis going if you would like to try it out.

    It's called MechWarrior: Living Legends.

  • Lol, where you been man?

    First off Google "Mechwarrior 2009"

    Then Google "Mechwarrior Living Legends"

    Then keep your orgasms to yourself

  • And im just going to wait for the new Mechwarrior game that is bein made by Smith & Tinker, ive not played LL but im sure this new MW reboot is going to own all before it hahah

  • lol wow i really had no idea there was a mech warrior 5 out there ^_^ ty for this info

    (orgasms) oops...srry...couldnt help it lol
