Who's putting down Clan Wolf? The only victors of Tukyid and who have the largest holdings in the IS? Please... and you you Davion and Steiner butt humpers, the total clan population is under a billion, not all the clans participated in the invasion, the biggest one sure didnt, they fought amongst each other and the IS, plus the IS has a 100 to 1 manufactoring and population advantage... so i think the clans did pretty good
@baker187 guessing you never watch Gundam before Most of the gundam series has tones of Adult related deals were quit few characters get killed....Victory gundam had the most death of any Gundam series i seen almost ever episodes some one would die..Even tho you hate gundam there enough people out there that like gundam they keep on make series after series. Gundam was around before MechWarrior Mobile Suit Gundam came out in 1979 Macross also came out before mechwarrior Its Robotech in the US
I'm a Fan of both Mechwarrior and Gundam and I saw the older Gundam shows. Although I admit....I'm a Mechwarrior at Heart and a Gundam pilot second. With Mechwarrior there is a sense of urgency. A sense of dread. and besides.....You don't get briefings from an awesome guy like the MFB commander. Plus Dominc Paine was Always my fave. And to me....Allen Matilla was always invisioned with a beard and a flask of good whiskey in the cockpit ^-^
Except mechwarrior wouldn't be here with out Gundam. There's mechs in Battletech who's roots are firmly dug in to Gundam, taken from a show which copied Gundam heavily. Gundam began the concept of war fought by giant robots. You youngin's don't know shit these days but love to talk, don'tcha? You've probably only ever seen Gundam SEED, and never touched MS IGLOO or MS IGLOO 2, or 08th MS Team or Gundam 0080. If you've seen those and still said that, then you're an even bigger idiot.
@onigojira LOL im 28 and still now more about gundam they baker187 Im huge Gundam fan seen ever gundam series but the SD series that came out..I can't say much about the New Series come out Gundam Age Just have to what for it to come out, What i can;t what for is Episode 4,5,6 of Gundam Unicorn
I remember using my Microsoft Sidewinder Steering Wheel's pedals to accelerate and decelerate and my joystick to move the arms and torso, as well as shooting. I felt like a fucking badass.
Mechwarrior 2 was the most fun but Mechwarrior 3 captured the feel of the Mechwarrior/battletech universe and made you feel like you were living the experience.
@harkeill Lawl. Yeh, cause an amazing drummer is actually gay shit. Usoundbutthurtbro. The fact that you do fuck all with your life playing faggot games (atleast play decent games -.-) isn't my problem. But, I take it upon myself to piss you off when I fancy it lawl
@Sakakrio >>Implying watching one video means I watch multiple. And if I do, what does it matter? Yeh I watch vids of games older this, and I will add, ones that well and truly kick this shit of the video games map. Mechwarrior? Who the fuck cares about it?. We want decent games yes? Hence the reason this will never be remembered as a great video game.
@TheModCon >>Implying I give a damn about what you think? Mechwarrior 3 was one of my first games, and whatever you say isn't going to change my view on it.
@ElWolf70 Luthien was a place during the Clan invasion when both Smoke Jaguar and Nova Cat were humiliated. Tukayyid was the proxy world where the ComGuards pushed back the six invading Clans (the terms were if Clans take the Tukayyid cities, they can take Terra. If ComStar won, then there would be a truce between the Inner Sphere and Clan). Ghost Bear won one, Jade Falcon had a draw, and Wolf won both. Anyone who has played MechWarrior 2 knows of the Battle of Tukayyid and the Refusal War.
@blackyoshi1230 Just pointing out that the Jade Falcon battle was only declared a draw because of the amount of damage they managed to inflict on the ComStar forces, not because they managed to take either of their objective cities (although they came close to capturing Olalla)
@Gallowell Yeah, and Aidan Pryde risked his life to make sure the Falcons retreat as safely as possible. Smoke Jaguar and Nova Cat got really beat up. Steel Viper had the least casualties, and the Diamond Sharks got wiped out. Ghost Bear took Spanac (not enough Mechs to take Luk), and Wolf obviously won (well, they ignored Clan combat rules and beat the ComGuards at their own game with energy weapons, and they had Natasha and Phelan, two warriors who studied Inner Sphere tactics).
Wrong. Mechwarrior is badass and unfeeling. Gundams are for sissy teenage boys and girls with eyes too big for their faces. Armored Core is simply taking away from the perfection that is Mechwarrior.
@xXDruarkXx I never understood why people play in 3rd person. To pilot a 'Mech and fight on the battlefield, one would think the player would want to be in the 'Mech as much as possible, experiencing what a real 'Mech battle could be - not some OOB-hover-over-your-fucking-'mech-shoot'em-game.
It was one sided from the start. The clans lost their war of conquest before it begun
This isn't just luck. This is backed by literal, real life history. The strategy of utter destruction and total war, literal scorched earth, was first enacted en masse with a strategically mobilized armed force by William Tecumseh Sherman. Such tactics of destroying absolutely *everything* the enemy could use is utterly devastating. Absolutely no mercy. This is war kids. It ain't a game.
This is the culmination of the clans childish practices and views of war. Utter embarrassment. Four commandos rage all over a planet alone as they meet up with one another, essentially guaranteeing the end of a clan. If one mech pilot supported by only a couple MFBs was able to wage a slow yet unstoppable guerilla war against the last of the jags, what hope could those incompetent fools possible have against four hardened vets driven by sheer determination and the desire to win?
I just realized that the Port Arthur he's talking about is the same Port Arthur you invade in MechCommander. I never really made that connection, hah!
@Jabob75 Because they were too busy getting geared up for a civil war as soon as the clans were gone. A couple of years after the Great Refusal, House Steiner has the Davion Archon assassinated and launches an attack on Davion forces across the Inner Sphere. As a result, the Star League collapses and its back to bussiness as usual, as it was before the Clan invasion, only now they have more powerful mechs and weapons to do it with
@HunterZeroModding I never understood why anyone could like Clan Wolf. They show how weak they are compared to the others when they were divived by Phelan Kell and the rest were Absorbed into Jade Falcon (only to be released later out of sympathy by Khan Pryde).
@HunterZeroModding I doubt you would last 10 minutes in a Clan. Remember, you are a freebirth and think of how most Clans treat freeborns. And think of their rigid lifestyle structure. No, you would not last very long as part of any Clan.
nope. at least on my PC it run very well. but i had some issues. sometimes i completed a mission but the next mision wouldn't appear and i had to play the last mission again.sometimes the game crashed after a mission finished loading,and sometimes my Mobile Bases would randomly lose equipment like i used them on a mission. But generally it plays fine :)
Why? Because it is just another part of the Mech Warrior games? I prefer the games which haven't been slagged down by companies and have great storylines (MW2 Mercenaries)
MW2: Mercs was great, but MW3 was the closest to FASA's own intent for the setting, I think. And it did the best job of making the mechs feel physical and real.
I'll grant you that, the much more realistic feel to it and how much closer it was to FASA's original idea of game play. MW 3 is my second favourite of the series (including the MC series) - I cannot include MW 4 as I have yet to play that yet.
MW4 was a huge disappointment in a lot of ways. The mech design is much simpler (childish by comparison) and I'm okay with that, but the acting beyond the opening video is absolutely awful. The gameplay itself was not bad.
Aye, that's why they were chosen by the Renewed Star League to be annihilated.
In battle you always take down the strongest opponent so that you minimise your potential casualties before they can have a chance to tear your throat out in the future.
Dark Age stuff- the last of the Jaguar warrior caste was captutred by the Sphere and reformed into a unit loyal to the Republic. They were eventually given the right to leave and construct a 'new' Jaguar as they saw fit.
The clans can never hope to compete with the Inner Sphere and their insane levels of gar.
No one is ready to win a war if they treat it like a game. They're sci-fi scrubs and got pulled around like little kids. They don't understand what real war is.
"Oh you'll only use 10 guys? Alright we'll only use 10 guys."
And then they run up into 40 IS mechs and get their shit stomped in.
They're like the British forces fighting the Americans during the revolution.
It's not about matching strength for strength, the Clans have always been about honour. If your words are anything to go by, then strike me down now, for you have no idea what BattleTech is truely about.
Honor means nothing if you're dead by the end of the day.
War isn't a game. Face it, your clans treat war like a scrub treats a game they suck at. "Don't do this, it's cheap! Don't do that, it's cheap!"
And that's why the clans lost. It really IS like the Americans vs British. The british fought with "honor" by marching their troops in rows to meet upon the battle, and they lost for it because they couldn't handle real battlefield tactics, juts like the clans.
Also, I always thought the way clan players had such vehemence for the clans to be childish anyway. Mostly because it encourages the "don't do this, it's cheap" mind set younger players love to use.
No matter how superior you and your punk clans think you are for negligible reasons like style of birth and genetics, they still lose at the end of the day. And that's all that matters. For all their superiority they're still just as susceptible to things like LASERS and BULLETS as any other man.
yeah no offense but that whole thing about the British fighting the Americans with their best soldiers and honorable tactics is pretty much a myth... the british were fighting napoleon at the time, so they sent all their worst soldiers and some prisoners they turned into soldiers to deal with us americans... we didn't defeat the best army in the world, we beat the asscrack of the british army. Sorry it's kind of irrelevant but that whole misconception bugs the hell out of me for some reason.
True, at the time, the British forces were spread too thin. It became a question of whether the French or Americans were the greater threat. However, the British at the time claimed that they would win even on the American front through honor and by virtue of the best soldiers in the world.
This is similar to the storyline where the clans sent their best against one another, rather than the inner sphere and thus lost the war.
look at a goddamn map. inner sphere has 4x the plantets, resources, and people ready to fight, but are unfit to even hold a gun. Clan warriors are bred for war, and your "experience" of inner sphere always winning is from the perspective of the inner sphere in mw 3 and 4. read the books, and you'll see how inferior you are compared to the clans.
And that explains why they lose with their genetic superiority and honor-bound traditions against these Inner Sphere folk who are "unfit to even hold a gun". Constantly.
Always hated how MechWarrior 2: The Clans (and it's expansion.. it *was* just an expansion, wasn't it?) was the only one from their perspective. I even much preferred the clans in the novels.... Clan Wolf ftw!
Frankly that depend, Gundam Work on "Jam every targeting system ever" particle. And that justify pretty much everything as long you put aside beamsaber and else.
As for Mechwarrior, let's say that equally equipped tank (Bolo-like) would scrap their fragile leg very fast.
Mechwarrior: Mech pilots with years of training and battlefield experience can still be killed by a lone soldier with a grappel rod and demo charge.
Gundam: Whiny, angsty teenage brats with no prior military experience or training wipe out hundreds upon hundreds of nameless grunts because they hate killing (what the f*ck, seriously?).
@ShadowHero2009 Well, 08th MS Team was pretty cool. Gundams and Mobile Suits were gritty, down to earth, prone to breaking down (getting stuck in a bog or stalling because of sand getting stuck between the gears), and actually used their legs. There was even a squad of Mobile Suits taken out by guerrilla fighters with naught but small arms and RPG's.
@GeneralThornton Mostly for the fact that Gundams were treated like vehicles which required proper maintenance and even then broke down at the worst possible moments.
@NatsumaruSama Sir, you need to calm down. You're making a scene and painting yourself as a target for everyone here. Now I like myself a little Battletech and some Gundam, but both have their pros and cons. Just because you prefer one thing, you shouldn't condemn the other.
Except this isn't real life...IS beat off the invading clan forces..being that the clans were dehumanized with their ethics, unique culture, eugenics based test tube breeding, they are clearly portrayed as evil "alien" invaders the only time I wouldn't consider it such is maybe in the game MW 2 where you play as clan wolf against falcon..
@Buemmo on the other hand, didn't piranha help develop mass effect + mass effect 2? Aside from the latest attempt at a game (transformers, whatever it was called), if they create a game of the same quality as Mass Effect, (meaning, depth of story, visual effects, and not meaning making MW5 a role playing game, which would just be foolish) I could probably play it for months on end.
@LTKodiak sry but there are two Piranha games studios. The one which develops MW5 is the one which also did develop that trasformers game (which is quite crappy)
Mechassault wasnt great, but considering it was an introduction for console gamers into the beautiful BT universe, other than RoboTech for the Xbox, it's a good game overall...
D Clans always win in ol of the battle. D only loss they had are from Twycross, Wolcott, and Tukayyid. All of which was thru strategic means and deceit (except on Tukayyid) not sheer use of firepower or strength by IS. Clan Smoke Jaguars were easily wiped out coz the reformed SLDF fielded forces more than the Clans can handle its like 3 to. And the forces of the Smoke Jaguars were readying for a renewed offensive towards IS so thats y their mechs were not configured for a defensive position.
The clans also lost on Lucien the Kuritan capital. Dragoons, Eridani and the Hounds were all there as well as an appearance by the Crescent hawks which had never been seen again or mentioned since the first battle tech games.
oh yea how come i forgot about that. lol pure tactics considering majority of their battle technology are not as good as the Com Guards. One of my favorite battles, Luthien. Eridani Light Horse Merc didnt participate in that battle for the reasons that they extremely hate the Kuritans and they were stationed in the Sarna March against House Liao. The only mercs that can be sent by Hanse Davion were the Dragoons and Kell Hounds with some other small merc units like the Crescent Hawks.
The Smoke Jaguars were caught off guard and didnt think that the IS is capable of mounting a unified assault against them. I remember the 2nd book on Twilight of The Clans that the IS send out 3-4 RCT's (Regimental Combat Teams which is roughly 324-432 mech units plus multiple elements of support units ie aerospace fighters, artillery, infantry, ETC) against a galaxy or two in a planet. considering that the Nova Cats joined the IS during this time. thats why the Smoke Jags lost the war
I was playing the game for two months to finish it because it was bugged like HELL and when i was finishing a mission i got victorius message but i had to replay the mission omgwtfbbq :P
Wouldn't have made much of a difference. The Grey Death Legion found and distributed an intact Star League memory core before the clans invaded. The Sphere was recovering before hand. True they would have taken one hell of a hit but the clans hastened technology reintegration in the inner sphere and did something four succession wars never could do. United the sphere, if only temporarily, against a common foe and ressurected the Star League. The very thing they were trying to do.
To my understanding all the clans did was refine Star League tech. They had the same equipment as the Inner Sphere. It was just lighter and had greater range. And in the case of energy weapons, did slightly more damage. If the Sphere didn't technologically regress the way they did through the succession wars then they would have eclipsed the clans long before they invaded.
The Clans descended from the Inner Sphere (General Kerensky) and had 300 year5s to improve and build their technology beyond the Periphery without falling into the petty squabbles the Inner Sphere dide known as the Succession Wars.
True. The first two succession wars knocked the IS back into the stone age. But the clans had their petty squabbles too. There was clan wolverine that was on the losing end of a trial of absorption for example.
The clans invented nothing new until after the invasion and that was due to the efforts of places like the NAIS to re-integrate star league tech into society at large from above mentioned memory core. If anything the clans hastened that along. But I stand by my statement.
Might want to add that later on there was a division in clan/IS tech. But that was out of necessity. The IS was making rapid advances and in the case of X-pulse lasers and the heavy/light gauss rifles, actually creating new weapon systems that the clans had to rapidly adapt to otherwise they would have been put on uneven footing.
Thats casue MW used to be MECHWARRIOR...and nothing else. Long live the MECHWARRIORS!

(Please note that if you want any hope of trying that, you need Crysis and a computer with high-end props by today's standards.)

It's so sad I love this game and used always play it, but my old computer fried and it now won't work on vista! Damn Microsoft.
blueeyes1991 2 years ago 2
It will work on vista, right click on your mech warrior exe and press properties, compatiblilty and select windoes 95 on the first dropdown box :)
on the first and second time you run it may crash, after that its smooth sailing, i did this on xp :D
If it continues to crash, try to restart your pc.

Is this game easy to run on windows xp? I dont need any special programs for it?
BerwickonTweed 2 years ago
nope. at least on my PC it run very well. but i had some issues. sometimes i completed a mission but the next mision wouldn't appear and i had to play the last mission again.sometimes the game crashed after a mission finished loading,and sometimes my Mobile Bases would randomly lose equipment like i used them on a mission. But generally it plays fine :)

Why? Because it is just another part of the Mech Warrior games? I prefer the games which haven't been slagged down by companies and have great storylines (MW2 Mercenaries)

MW3 was the best one, actually.
GeneralBattuta 2 years ago 30
Well, that's your personal opinion, much like my personal opinion is that MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries was the best of the game series (so far)
gribae 2 years ago
MW2: Mercs was great, but MW3 was the closest to FASA's own intent for the setting, I think. And it did the best job of making the mechs feel physical and real.
GeneralBattuta 2 years ago 4
I'll grant you that, the much more realistic feel to it and how much closer it was to FASA's original idea of game play. MW 3 is my second favourite of the series (including the MC series) - I cannot include MW 4 as I have yet to play that yet.
gribae 2 years ago 4
MW4 was a huge disappointment in a lot of ways. The mech design is much simpler (childish by comparison) and I'm okay with that, but the acting beyond the opening video is absolutely awful. The gameplay itself was not bad.

Aye, that's why they were chosen by the Renewed Star League to be annihilated.
In battle you always take down the strongest opponent so that you minimise your potential casualties before they can have a chance to tear your throat out in the future.

Wrong. They were taken out because they were excessively arrogant, and the IS was able to use that attitude against them.

The clans can never hope to compete with the Inner Sphere and their insane levels of gar.
No one is ready to win a war if they treat it like a game. They're sci-fi scrubs and got pulled around like little kids. They don't understand what real war is.
"Oh you'll only use 10 guys? Alright we'll only use 10 guys."
And then they run up into 40 IS mechs and get their shit stomped in.
They're like the British forces fighting the Americans during the revolution.

It's not about matching strength for strength, the Clans have always been about honour. If your words are anything to go by, then strike me down now, for you have no idea what BattleTech is truely about.
gribae 2 years ago
Honor means nothing if you're dead by the end of the day.
War isn't a game. Face it, your clans treat war like a scrub treats a game they suck at. "Don't do this, it's cheap! Don't do that, it's cheap!"
And that's why the clans lost. It really IS like the Americans vs British. The british fought with "honor" by marching their troops in rows to meet upon the battle, and they lost for it because they couldn't handle real battlefield tactics, juts like the clans.
IAmPhotoBucket 2 years ago 3
Also, I always thought the way clan players had such vehemence for the clans to be childish anyway. Mostly because it encourages the "don't do this, it's cheap" mind set younger players love to use.
No matter how superior you and your punk clans think you are for negligible reasons like style of birth and genetics, they still lose at the end of the day. And that's all that matters. For all their superiority they're still just as susceptible to things like LASERS and BULLETS as any other man.
IAmPhotoBucket 2 years ago 2
yeah no offense but that whole thing about the British fighting the Americans with their best soldiers and honorable tactics is pretty much a myth... the british were fighting napoleon at the time, so they sent all their worst soldiers and some prisoners they turned into soldiers to deal with us americans... we didn't defeat the best army in the world, we beat the asscrack of the british army. Sorry it's kind of irrelevant but that whole misconception bugs the hell out of me for some reason.
SirProphet 2 years ago
True, at the time, the British forces were spread too thin. It became a question of whether the French or Americans were the greater threat. However, the British at the time claimed that they would win even on the American front through honor and by virtue of the best soldiers in the world.
This is similar to the storyline where the clans sent their best against one another, rather than the inner sphere and thus lost the war.

look at a goddamn map. inner sphere has 4x the plantets, resources, and people ready to fight, but are unfit to even hold a gun. Clan warriors are bred for war, and your "experience" of inner sphere always winning is from the perspective of the inner sphere in mw 3 and 4. read the books, and you'll see how inferior you are compared to the clans.

@ShadowHero2009 Well, 08th MS Team was pretty cool. Gundams and Mobile Suits were gritty, down to earth, prone to breaking down (getting stuck in a bog or stalling because of sand getting stuck between the gears), and actually used their legs. There was even a squad of Mobile Suits taken out by guerrilla fighters with naught but small arms and RPG's.

@crazy4sian Yeah, 08th is the only Gundam show I really liked, just because of those reasons. Jungle warfare+mechs=win?

@GeneralThornton Mostly for the fact that Gundams were treated like vehicles which required proper maintenance and even then broke down at the worst possible moments.

Aside from the latest attempt at a game (transformers, whatever it was called), if they create a game of the same quality as Mass Effect, (meaning, depth of story, visual effects, and not meaning making MW5 a role playing game, which would just be foolish) I could probably play it for months on end.

D Clans always win in ol of the battle. D only loss they had are from Twycross, Wolcott, and Tukayyid. All of which was thru strategic means and deceit (except on Tukayyid) not sheer use of firepower or strength by IS. Clan Smoke Jaguars were easily wiped out coz the reformed SLDF fielded forces more than the Clans can handle its like 3 to. And the forces of the Smoke Jaguars were readying for a renewed offensive towards IS so thats y their mechs were not configured for a defensive position.

The clans also lost on Lucien the Kuritan capital. Dragoons, Eridani and the Hounds were all there as well as an appearance by the Crescent hawks which had never been seen again or mentioned since the first battle tech games.
Jebbis 2 years ago
oh yea how come i forgot about that. lol pure tactics considering majority of their battle technology are not as good as the Com Guards. One of my favorite battles, Luthien. Eridani Light Horse Merc didnt participate in that battle for the reasons that they extremely hate the Kuritans and they were stationed in the Sarna March against House Liao. The only mercs that can be sent by Hanse Davion were the Dragoons and Kell Hounds with some other small merc units like the Crescent Hawks.
AS7Datlas 2 years ago
The Smoke Jaguars were caught off guard and didnt think that the IS is capable of mounting a unified assault against them. I remember the 2nd book on Twilight of The Clans that the IS send out 3-4 RCT's (Regimental Combat Teams which is roughly 324-432 mech units plus multiple elements of support units ie aerospace fighters, artillery, infantry, ETC) against a galaxy or two in a planet. considering that the Nova Cats joined the IS during this time. thats why the Smoke Jags lost the war

I think the clans learned that you shouldn't make stupid deals like "We won't attack you for a really long time while you copy our tech" ;).
Sephlock 2 years ago 2
Wouldn't have made much of a difference. The Grey Death Legion found and distributed an intact Star League memory core before the clans invaded. The Sphere was recovering before hand. True they would have taken one hell of a hit but the clans hastened technology reintegration in the inner sphere and did something four succession wars never could do. United the sphere, if only temporarily, against a common foe and ressurected the Star League. The very thing they were trying to do.
rvndmnmt 2 years ago 2
Even so, the clans had been developing their tech from the point at which they branched off, no? I seem to recall something like that.
Sephlock 2 years ago
To my understanding all the clans did was refine Star League tech. They had the same equipment as the Inner Sphere. It was just lighter and had greater range. And in the case of energy weapons, did slightly more damage. If the Sphere didn't technologically regress the way they did through the succession wars then they would have eclipsed the clans long before they invaded.
rvndmnmt 2 years ago
The Clans descended from the Inner Sphere (General Kerensky) and had 300 year5s to improve and build their technology beyond the Periphery without falling into the petty squabbles the Inner Sphere dide known as the Succession Wars.
gribae 2 years ago
True. The first two succession wars knocked the IS back into the stone age. But the clans had their petty squabbles too. There was clan wolverine that was on the losing end of a trial of absorption for example.
The clans invented nothing new until after the invasion and that was due to the efforts of places like the NAIS to re-integrate star league tech into society at large from above mentioned memory core. If anything the clans hastened that along. But I stand by my statement.
rvndmnmt 2 years ago
Might want to add that later on there was a division in clan/IS tech. But that was out of necessity. The IS was making rapid advances and in the case of X-pulse lasers and the heavy/light gauss rifles, actually creating new weapon systems that the clans had to rapidly adapt to otherwise they would have been put on uneven footing.
