The last video is NOT Mech warrior 5, and NOT actual gameplay. It was a demonstration video in an attempt to gather support for another Mechwarrior title. MW: Online has nothing to do with it, and who knows when/if MW:Online will even come out. Not impressed at all with Pirahna games...
@SamJ1986 HAHA You fool, wait until early March and GDC convention. MW:O is coming out in the Summer. They do not need 40 single player levels, and all the stuff that can bog down a Single player based game. At launch it will be their core gameplay, and each month more and more mechs, maps and features will trickle out of their studio. PGI is the right company for the job, ho read a few of their DEV blogs before you spout crap. PGI ARE Mech fans, and they are going to make the next gen MW
Just because I provided only one example (which yes, is a personal favourite, BUT STILL AN OFFICIAL VARIANT THAT BELONGS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL CANON FOR THE SERIES), doesn't mean it's the only Mech that's been affected. ALMOST EVERY CLAN MECH HAS BEEN GIVEN RESTRICTIONS THAT SHOULDN'T APPLY. And MANY Inner Sphere Mechs have had restrictions that SHOULD apply TAKEN AWAY FOR NO GOOD REASON. AND NONE OF IT IMPROVED GAMEPLAY, but even if it did, IT INVALIDATES THE CONNECTION WITH THE FRANCHISE.
@a0classcriminal Good try, but speeding up the field repair process WHICH EXISTS IN CANON is NOT a violation of canon. Neither is INCLUDING SOMETHING THAT COMES DIRECTLY FROM CANON LIKE UNDERWATER MECH PILOTING. They're BOTH things which DO EXIST IN CANON AND HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED INTO GAMEPLAY. Neither of your examples is at all relevant to any claim that previous games have violated canon. Preventing OFFICIAL VARIANTS OF CLAN MECHS BY IGNORING THEIR DESIGNATION AS OMNIMECHS is violating canon
I'm not saying Microsoft didn't make a legitimately good Mech game. I'm just saying it's not a Battletech game, and it shouldn't be considered part of the Mechwarrior franchise because of that.
True Battletech fans will tell you that MW4 isn't out yet. Microsoft made a generic mech game and pretended it was Battletech. Admittedly, it WAS good, but MY MAD DOG VARIANT D HAS GAUSS RIFLE ARMS. And that's FAR from the only example of "WTF ARE YOU DOING TO MY BATTLETECH?" in that game. It's the one I found most grating, but there are plenty more.
Have you ever stopped to wonder if it's even possible for *every* element of an 80's turn-based tabletop strategy game to translate fully into a real-time sim-shooter computer game while remaining balanced and enjoyable?
By the way, the mech redesigns for MWO (added reason and functionality while preserving the profile of the chassis) are coming along very nicely.
@a0classcriminal Microsoft's attempt at the franchise violated canon AND PRECEDENT FROM PREVIOUS GAMES and in doing so, ALMOST COMPLETELY RUINED MOST CLAN MECHS. No, I don't expect EVERYTHING to be carried over, but when they're abandoning a CORE ELEMENT OF THE CANON, I'm going to call them out on it. Cosmetic changes, while possibly a little annoying at times, aren't a big problem for me. But COMPLETELY INVALIDATING THE POSSIBILITY OF CANON DESIGNS BEING IMPLEMENTED IS NOT A COSMETIC CHANGE.
Wow. That's one mad comment there. So inability to recreate a build renders the whole representation of the universe besides that moot?
...wait, on the other hand, wouldn't that mean that Mechwarrior 3 violated canon by adding MFB's repairing mechs in seconds? And Ghost Bear's Legacy violated canon by having an underwater mission? Would somebody please think of the canon!
Looking from perspective free of canon zealotry, MW4's mechs' limitations added character.
Well, looks like you'll have to make a new evolution of mechwarrior vid, since the last bit is no longer the game that piranha games is making. They're now releasing a free to play online only mechwarrior game. So far, it's looking promising. I think a lot of fans will be pleased ^_^ including myself
I want a game where you can feel the mass of your mech like in MW3, but mechs can take the punishment like in MW4. Shooting legs only got old fast.
3 captured the feel the best I believe, with hostile radio chatter, various mech destruction animations and just overall atmosphere... but it was just sad how mechs were falling down with just a few salvos to the leg, and how often they flopped after a mere tank-mounted AC burst. Half the fight was praying "please don't fall" and ankle-biting :( .
Ah MW...where turning a Puma into a pile of slag is common, yet so it a Puma shoving its Light Mech foot so far up your ass you shit bolts. I love this series. :-)
I agree dude, people said the same thing when I told them "Have you ever played MW4?" They looked at me with the same stare a deer gives when it's about to be hit by an on coming train. "Dude, MW3 hasn't even come out yet. Retard." Pfft. They are the retarded ones.
I loved Mechwarrior 4. I have 3 but it doesn't want to run so I've only gotten to the 3 mission. IMO Mechwarrior 3 is true to battletech, Mechwarrior 4 not so much. In 3 the targeting reticle is how it should be and the Mech load out was magnificent. 4 played more like an arcade game to me. Mechwarrior is just the shit!
Sorry for my comment but why did you put that last "MW5" movie into this video? That is not THE game just an illustrational video. Anyway, the MEKTEK MW4 Mercenaries is still a f. good game.
@JadeEyedWolf It's the lawsuits Harmony Gold launched towards IGN and the developers of the revived FASA Team over the use of the Warhammer in the trailer.
@blackyoshi1230 So, in other words, because of some lawyers' disputes over the IP rights of a few Battletech chassis', we're not likely to ever see MW 3015, because the project has effectively been destroyed? That really sucks... Like, wow, that sucks...
@JadeEyedWolf Yeah, HG is a bunch of lawdy jerks, and these things have been going on for about 20 years (apparently, FASA said they were able to get some rights from the original Japanese devs whose anime some Mechs have been based off of, but stateside, ugh.) You also wanted to know "hey, why are those Mechs not in this game?" in games after Mech2: Mercenaries, same issue. If anything, those bastards have to let it go. MechWarrior/BattleTech is still the most realistic and best Mech series.
@martinhw81 Pirahna Games and Smith and Tinker bought the MW rights from Microsoft and are working on Mechwarrior 3015. (MW5, Mechwarrior reboot, whatever floats your boat)
@TearsOfWar1 Yes, I prefer mechwarrior 3's cockpit but mechwarrior 4 seems to be a bit more realistic, where mechwarrior 3 has a gritty look mechwarrior 4 seems more electronic.
MW2 was the best one IMO. it was even featured on CNN when it first came out. though MW3 was the most realistic. too bad i cant make those two work anymore :(
@ashkelon03 Ok mechwarrior living legends is not literaly battletech it is supporting battletech but not made by battletech directly like other games Mech assult is more of battletech than living legends and to all people dissapointed in the new mechwarrior stop whining it is going to be epic with its co-op based campaign. One person assult one heavy one medium and one light also you need to utalize alot more to win battles now lights aare way more important then they used to be.
so what was the last battle from?
