  • 40 people chose catapult because they looked like madcat

  • hopefully the mechwarrior reboot the series takes off again.

  • 40 people's mechs exploded.

  • all the mechwarriors are pretty cool but mechwarrior 2 31st centery combat. because you can mod your mech and stuff.

  • @micksquizzy u can mod ur mech in mechwarrior3 and mechwarrior 4 merc and vengance as well hopefully they will restart the mechwarrior 5 project and get that one on the market its supposed to have even better customization from what was said before they halted the project for it.

  • @yamivalkri mech 5 is done, but Mechwarrior Online is slated for release summer 2012.

  • Is this like MechAssault? many of the Mechs remind me of it

  • OMG more like mech assault is like this. Mech warrior came out in like the 1980's for christ sake

  • @conorfus I guess so. I've never played mech warrior so I didn't know. The mechs look very identical though.

  • @jdeha001 It's based off the same story univers

  • @conorfus More like MechAssault was a pathetic ripoff of MechWarrior. ZERO customization, ZERO simulation aspect.

  • @jdeha001 Never speak of that abomination again. Worse thing to happen to the Battletech universe.

  • @jdeha001 Nooob! Mechassault is a branch off of the Mechwarrior series which came from Battle Tech which has been around since the 80's, yes. Fail...

  • @jdeha001 It's because MechAssault is based in the same universe, just a different storyline. BattleTech is the name of the entire MechWarrior universe, pretty much, though.

  • @InvaderAvP66 Ohhh thanks for letting me know. At least you weren't an asshole like WumboWarrior.

  • the mechwarrior games make me want to actually play the original mechwarrior.. NOT the first game.. the ORIGINAL pen and paper mechwarrior

  • @hogmasta I hear that! 

  • @Skringly :D

  • Fenfir Fenfir! Can't beat that mech! It'll oneshot you :P

  • My top 3 "SHIT" mechs

    N°3: Argus: Ugly, Slow and weak armed...need i say more ?

    N°2: Chimera: Same as above but you gotta add the lowly armor...

    N°1: A slow, expansive piece of over-heating SH*T !!!

  • that song is taken directly from the game lol

  • from the looks of the right arm i would say a argus.

    but its difficult to say becose mechs can be costumized in many different ways.

  • It´s  Rifleman

  • @Heavygaus Hell...

    I thought the rifleman had Human-like legs ?

    Could it be a earlier version of it ?

  • Das ist ein Rifleman

    It´s a Rifleman

  • @Heavygaus

    Don't think so. Legs are different (backward knees), one arm has only one gun, front lights missing, cockpit/head is too low, the antennae of the targetting system is missing ... it looks more like a modified Locust to me.

  • looks lika a thanatos

  • 1:18 What's that?

    It reminds me of a Locust, but I don't recognize it.

  • Comment removed

  • where I can download this song ?????

  • AHHHHHHH good ol' days with the old fashioned MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries damn that was the shit back then

  • where can i buy it through?

  • whats the song?

  • its the music from the game not a band

  • Well if you don't like it why are u watching this video?, stop trolling >.>

  • mad dog - vulture. I guess you are just too joung to know that vulture is just the inner sphere name of the mad dog. Or WHY is the Timberwolf also known as Mad Cat and the Direwolf known as Daishi? The inner sphere military had to invent some fitting names ...

  • Why did the IS call the WarHawk the Masakari? I know the awnsers to the others and am pretty sure why they called the DIre Wolf a Daishi

  • The reason the Timber Wolf is called a Madcat is because when their targeting computers first pinged it, pilots couldn't make out whether or not it was a maraduer or catapault, since it's similar to both designs. So they mashed the words together and Viola, Madcat. The Kuritans named the Direwolf the Daishi, which in Japanese means "Great Death" and they called the Mad Dog a Vulture because it would normally sit on the hills surrounding the battle picking off targets with it's long range weapons

  • I thought the Mad Dog was the clan response to the Inner Sphere Vulture? I haven't kept up with progress for awhile (being Jade Falcon)

  • @Krabbenjack but, Vulture, Mad Cat and Daishi are infinitely cooler names

  • lol "heavy metal music"... this is a track from MW4 mercs.

    My favorite Mechwarrior music was the music used for the MW2 games. That game had some of the most completely BA tracks in all of video gaming. They're good quality, too. If they were put in a new game they'd fit right in because the music was that awesome.

  • whats the song called i like it

  • I want to see a Stone Rhino in the next game... and a Battlemaster.

  • Woah, Fafnir is BADASS! And Sunder too.

    Especially in the Solaris 7 fight.

  • I won the final solaris fight with a flea. I hid in an arch, went to passive radar, and powered down. I came out when there was three guys left. only one still had a working gun that was not out of ammo.

  • Good choice of music. You should make another vid when new mech comes out

  • Can I ask where you found the pic/model at 1:12? I'm a huge fan of that Vulture variant and would love to have a full size image like that, or even better the model itself if its in your possession.

    I'd love to put together a texture job for it and render it for a desktop background. ^^

  • it's all about the Mad Dog baby... ah, this video brings back some many memories

  • And apparently you get a thumbs down because of it.

  • Comment removed

  • i have the original mech warrior for like the 1998 windows computer :D its the 2nd one, its not the 'original' as in the very first. but its the 2nd version of the original game :) very poor graphics. my old computer could barely run it rofl

  • You have Mechwarrior 2? MW1 was on the NES or SNES or some such silliness, not sure if there was a PC version of that.

    MW2 graphics were the shit man. =P

  • MW2 was for my comp. it was like the 1998 version :D

  • Nope the original is DOS aswell as Snes.

  • Was it really? I didn't know they'd made a DOS version. I highly doubt it would run on Vista though or I'd play it just for fun. I regularly go back and play old games that I have, sadly things like Return to Zork and Wing Commander (2 or 3 I think) don't like to run now.

    Still...anyone know about 1:12?

  • Get your hands on a Dosbox program and try that

  • 1:12 is a Mad Dog from Mechwarrior 4: Vengence.

  • no its called the Vulture -_- i should know as i have mech4 there is no mech in thier called mad dog >.>

  • true enough i know little about battle tech but you said on mech 4 and that is how i replyd to your post.

  • So do you...

    Mad dog and the Vulture are just two names for one 'mech. But since you're so knowledgeable, maybe you can tell me its third name...

  • Isn't it the japanese name for vulture, named by kurita? I heard about it somewhere but I'm not sure...

  • love tis game!!!! it is sad they dont make mech games like this anymore, japs robot game are some how too fantasy

  • *cough cough* Smith and Tinker are making a new one. Some of the old FASA guys are part of it, one of em is the head of it.

  • Atlas is the ruler!

  • Atlas is a sitting duck/target practice.

  • It sure doesn't go down without a fight though.

    And the Atlas does have a nice variety of short range weapons for close combat.

    I prefer a mech that has long range missiles equipped for combat, and more speed, like a Firefly, or a Catapult.

  • In short range it's unmatched, no doubt. But rarely will an atlas be close enough to anything to fight back. 3/5 speed with an effective range of 6 is just waiting to be killed by any 25 tonner with a ER L laser. Some of the variants aren't too bad, bud AS7-D is possibly the absolute worst design for the cost.

  • A 25 ton 'Mech wouldn't do much damage, unless it was part of a unit, considering the Atlas has massive amounts of armour. An Aero Fighter on the other hand would be the best weapon.

  • I think the Mad Dog would be a better choice, for speed instead of the Catapult, unless you are also going for extra armour.

  • Davion scum.

  • Freebirth Welp

  • Actually, its theme music for MW4 Mercenaries.

  • Probobly because these clips are from MW4 Mercs. 8D

  • I have to say...I like the music! Can you tell me what the song is and what artist made the song?

  • i think the song is called hunter and done by corn boy (cornboy) at least thats what my computer tells me

  • The song is from inside the game. You can find it in Mech 4 Merc

  • Catapult

  • mech warrior 4 music

  • It's a damn shame someone hasn't made a new MechWarrior with the latest technology. That would be amazing.

  • Mechstorm is making a mod on the crysis game devoted to mechwarrior and Mektek has there 4th mod coming out soon for mw4 mercenaries. both will be great.

  • two words.

    fuck YES!

  • comfortable looking robots........

  • awsome!!

    

    like that?

    go see: ARMOR - Weapons of war.

    COOL new mechs! Original art!

  • Woo

  • The majority of the pilots in that vid are bots. It's sad, but years and thousands of drops have let me remember exactly how a bot fights.

  • If they were going to make a great mech game it would have to include lasers. The whole idea of mechs is based in the 30th century so your idea of realistic is based upon your knowledge of current weaponry and not what the future will hold and lasers, particle projectile cannons etc. are all part of the Mechwarrior saga. Leaving them out would be ridding the series of a key organ.

  • Actually, the USAF is devoting resources into laser research for a variety of offensive and defensive purposes.

  • mittower, you think lasers are unrealistic but your fine with giant walking robots and everything else?

  • LOL... of course its real doesnt everyone know that <.<

  • out of all the mechs in the game the Vulture is the most displayed why is this?

  • heh. vulture. why not? its an awesome barrage mech. also known as MAD DOG. i personally like the mad dcat / timber wolf better. hate em when they have jumpers though... near impossible to hit....

  • the cool mech at 1:02 is called a artic wolf u can only get it in mechwarrior4 by installing the clan mech pak

  • whats that mech at 1:02 it looks awsome

  • it's still Templar

  • It's Called A Templar...

  • where can i get this song

  • the name is hunter but i can't remember how i got it but it came from enouph internet searches. try the MW 4 mercs official website

  • whats the name of the song ?

  • Not sure what the name is but it is an official MechWarrior 4 soundtrack.

  • It's on the Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries soundtrack. I've heard it plenty of times in the campaign. I think you can just rip it from the game as an MP3 file.

  • Microsoft: An new Mechwarrior will be coming with the possible introduction of FASA, await news.

  • Man I miss the days I plyed MW 4 Mercenaries, gah why the heck dont they create a new fresh gam of the series? A really big shame, MW was inspiring, addictive and not at least damn heavy in weight and metal.

  • i used to take on most mechs in a non moddified mad dog. AHHHH the good days i wish more ppl still played merc even tho it isn't as good as MW3 and certainly not better than MW2, nothing beats 2

  • i could pilot a flea and take people out in catapult and shit like thar

  • catapult is a quite dangerous mech in right hands, do not underestimate it ;)

  • true...but how often do you encounter someone actully using it right? not often enough

  • Flea? What, the mech that can take something like 2 large laser hits and fall over? Pah. Any idiot could beat one. Stratigically,light mechs are lovely. But they have very little chance against the bigger ones.

  • The gladiator I used was like a knife figter, 3 clan LBX 20's and the rest in the armour, In my prime, (When I was good), I could take most mechs down in 1 or 2 shots after I closed in

  • the vulture is sexy

  • Thanks for this great video. I gave it 5 stars. As a former clan jade falcon warrior, I prefer my heavily modified Timber Wolf (2PPC's, 2SRM's, heavy Armor, bigger engine)for Solaris.

  • Personally, I find the Marauder 2 Chassis to be most reliable. Guess I just remember back to MW2 and the Marauder IIC chassis, which I used almost as much as the Dire Wolf, which is known now as the Daishi.

  • daishi is good!! does not take damage as easy as some other models eg. atlaz

  • Daishi was the Inner Sphere name, Dire Wolf the Clan name. All the original Clan mechs have that dual designation (i.e. Vulture/Mad Dog, Thor/Summoner, etc.)

    Marauder is always a badass, whether it be I, II, or IIC.

  • Fafnir. What was that? Heavy armor? Fast movement? Shazam. Instant hit, massive damage. Goodnight Irene.

    Dire Wolf/Daishi are the same mech, and the nomeclature is con-current. Daishi is just the Inner Sphere term for it. Dire Wolf is the true name. The name on the blueprints.

    Daishi means "Great Death". Masakari (Warhawk) means "Little Death". Or so I'm told.

  • No, it means battleaxe.

  • I stand corrected. What about the other Draconis-named mechs? Ryuoken? There's a few of them.

  • Why don't you look them up? Ryouken means hunting dog, I believe.

  • Hey how come mechwarrior is the only shooter game with kickass electronical hard rock music? Because it rocks!

    I used to pilot a Timber Wolf and Fenrir

  • Quake 3 has some of that. Half Life had it, aelbit briefly. The Terran Theme for SC had some nice electronica.

  • my madcat and my awesome kick ass

  • The problem of those chassis is that they tend to overheat really fast, sure you may give them an immense firepower, but I feel something wrong about a mech that has 3 erppcs and like 35 heatsinks. I rather go with autocannons. The new Thanatos XT is a hell of a machine considering it' weight.

    Yet the only mech I could not redesign better than the standart version is the Hellbringer, just awesome considering it's weight.

  • *ROFL*

    Hell Yeah! But just drive anything made by ford...they'd be crap *L*

  • Theres just something bout trudging into battle in 90 tons of hardened aloys. Fuck Gundam and all the gay ass jap shit man. mechs were piloted by solders and clansmen, not prepubescent school boys with retarded hair. Honda Made Aisimo, GM should make an timber wolf!

  • ROFL!

    best comment i have seen.

  • PROPS!

  • Totally agreed!

    Gundam etc. is nowhere close to Battle Tech's gloryness!

    (Altho' I like Neon Genesis Evangelion, and there's a Live-Action movie of it coming out soon, somewhere around 2009)

  • LOL. TOTALLY leave it to the car manufacturers to make mechs! Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi and the other Japanese will probably be the first, then America when Pearl Harbor is attacked for the second time.

  • a-f*&@ing-men man

    6Th LAM Recon lance

    Clan Jade Falcon

  • Well said!

  • fuck the timber wolf go blood asp or adler mech

  • nice

  • Whats the name of this song and where can i get it

  • Actually, I'm perty shore it's on one of the MW4 CDs (gameplay soundtrack). If yer diggin it I'd really recommend you pick-up the original Mech2 Mercs (eBay) - the Mech2 titles all had kick ass soundtracks.

  • whered u get the pic at 1:23 i want it

  • You mean Armored Core? They can out do a Mech but Mechs are more realistic.

  • I like the american mech arsenal a lot better than the crappy japanese stuff. I mean they have freaking little robots with tiny laser swords, over sized guns that don't even make sense, and sheilds WTF? Our mechs have large Guass rifles, machine guns, auto cannons, pulse lasers, beam rifles ( normal lasers) short range missles and long range missles. I think we've won the better mechs.

  • and actualy need a pilot to opreate with out all the over dramatic moves

  • True I forgot that.

  • japanese robots arent tiny. an average gundam would haved squashed a mech under it toe before the mech even noticed. japanese mechs are far more powerful but i prefer american mechs for their realism.

  • They're either tiny and overpowered or oversized and WAY over powered.

  • Hah! Good one!

    Notice the mecha's that are seen in anime's like Full Metal Panic. Those are just... LoL. Fat piloted bot's with arms and rifles.

  • anyone like light owens mechs cuz i dont

  • The Owens is a good light LRM support mech for a freebirth Spheriod 'mech that is...

  • mektek is a site devoted to keeping mechwarrior alive. There's a devteam as the site admins of sorts, and they created the mektek mekpaks, which is basically a third-party mod that everyone who plays mw4 mercs uses. They also host a main server for all the servers to be shown on. Basically when microsoft said screw mechwarrior mektek refused to let it happen.

  • I would like 2 see when the producers of Transformers would help 2 create the movie of this game. They have so much experience with Mechs and how it looks like when they get a smooth moving animation and the whole details they could implant... this would be awesome btw nice vid ^^

  • terrible quality

  • didn't watch the whole video than

  • what is this song called

  • I think it's called Hunter...

  • nice vid, where did you get the clan and IS mech packs?

  • From a store. There is also WAY more than just those two little expansion packs. You want more Mechs in MW4? Get the MekTek mod, and triple the number of toys in your arsenal.

  • Mod?

  • MW4 has like 2 or 3 expansion packs...

  • Where and how the hell do get the Masakari, Cauldron-Born,Kodiak, Highlandee, Hunchback and Dragon?!

  • masakari vulture mad cat are my faves props

  • nice mix of all the mechwarrior4 mercs best!!

  • what were the pics from 1:20 to 1:22 from?

  • those are catapults and a raven in a lance with some other mechs...if i remember right

  • no I mean what mech game or video?

  • Not from game or video, they are from the CBT books.

  • I think they might be cauldron borns....

  • I think cauldron borns look different

  • two caturpults and one raven. it's a edited pic from vengance

  • Why the heck do I keep seeing people post SPAM ads on these Mechwarrior youtubes, SHEEEEEEEESH!

  • empath69, ROFL!!

  • What is this song called?? Anyone know??

  • it's called hunter from cornboy i think

  • this is actually some fighting music from the mechwarrior4mercs game

  • which mechwarrior is this cause this kicks ass!

  • mech warrior4 mercrinaries

  • OMG that music's from mw2 mercs. lol i havent heard that since 2001 last time i played it.

  • I remember hearing this in MW4 Mercs.

  • Oh yeah, I think it was in that. For a second I thought it was from Starsiege.

  • this vid sucks

  • hey bitch, you obviously haven't played mech warrior be for so shut your mouth and sit down you little dezgra, you low life surat wouldn't even know what mechwarrior was even if you got shot in the ass with an ERPPC

  • FYI man that was to bignurse9 not you man your vid was cool. Make more MW vids, and get the latest patches and what not man the bahemouth and annie are in them

  • D.R.B., quit 'posing' as a Truebirth; no REAL Clansman would ever stoop to profaning the language with coarse contractions in the chalcas way that you do. For your besmirching of the glory and honor of the Clans, I declare a Trial of Grievance upon you; with what forces do you attempt to defend this deluded thought that you deserve any respect?

    (Oh, and this video does not 'suck' to lower the language to *Spheroid* terms, but I would not have mixed game footage and still artwork)
