04 - Part 1 - MechWarrior 2 - Wolf - Temper Edge - Speedrun

[Vegna24]

shame firemoths cant handle using PPC's well ... both using it and being shot at with it

[carbonandchemicals]

And here I thought I was the only one that loved playing this game in the Image Enhancement view XD

[TheLackofattack]

@metalsushidog ...enemy mech destroyed....

[xXaltowolfXxmp3]

why firemoth?

i remember only using firemoth becuz of the way the cockpit looked

[SirxMMPD]

@xXaltowolfXxmp3 The game is too easy to beat in a standard mech, so I wanted to beat the whole game in a firemoth for a challenge.

[xXaltowolfXxmp3]

@SirxMMPD oh, now that makes sense.

i hated using the Firemoth. i mean, i was fast and agile, but its weapons system was frustrating when i was under attack.

crap, i REALLY need to find my mechwarrior 2 disk!

[wjspark88]

Aaaah, I remeber the days before coolant, repairs, all that other nancy stuff... Mechwarriors were tougher then...

[lonewolfsx29]

I loved this game. Cool video man.. sounds just like when I play. Shutdown sequence initiated! Shutdown sequence overridden! (and repeat). I'm always on that balance of overheating the whole game. The music is AWESOME too, I still have it on my ipod.

[burningwreckage00]

this mission looks much longer than it was in the Playstation ver.

[timg4444]

ahhh the old days.... played this game when i was four years old and it was my fav, i can remember it so vividly

[CidCaldensfey]

Wow you got bit pretty hard at the beginning.

[ingwersengrady]

God I love the sound of those lasers group firing.

[DarkCybrid]

I have to say i liked Starsiege better. But dammit, WHY DON'T EITHER WORK IN VISTA?!?!? :'(

[SirxMMPD]

It does actually work on vista.

Follow the instructions at the website mentioned in the top right of the video or look for my install guide via dosbox or for the 95 edition.

[DarkCybrid]

awesome, now i just have to find my MW2 cd again :S

[BlackPhoenixStudios]

Dude, put in more heat sinks ;)

[SirxMMPD]

Heh, would love to but the mech cannot hold more than what it already contains I am afraid.

Secondarily for this speed run it matters very little since the end time is pretty much already decided by the game. I could have moved as slow as I wanted and yet gotten the same time.

[ilkkavu]

and it had a great soundtrack.

[fgusta2new]

Firemoth kicks ass!

I had MechWarrior3 and Pireates Moon . The Disk was so screwed it would work. As for piretes moon it suffred greater fate.

[pnkfld7892]

how long should the repairs take? i killed every enemy mech and by that time the repairs still werent done.

[SirxMMPD]

ten min or so

[psvision]

good old game! i'll never forget MW2 it's my 20s game! gold gold gold!

[Pitchfest]

Best video game soundtrack ever

[lamagra22]

@blackyoshi1230

It has to do with the cockpit position on the mech.

You notice that he used the term "DFA". Back when on-line play for this game was in its hayday, DFA was a very common tactic because if you hit it right, you'd always damage the cockpit which has the least amount of armor on the mech.

With Jenners, the cockpit is right on the front of the mech and takes up a large portion of the mech's head, making it an easy target.

[DCMclarenFan]

One of my fav music tracks....

[blackyoshi1230]

3:39- Very nice headshot. Wonder why it's so easy to do it with Jenners sometimes.

[blackyoshi1230]

Nice work. How many heat sinks do you have?

Been wondering, I've seen heat values for each weapon, but how much heat points are there before hitting the full red?

[SirxMMPD]

Only 2 heat sinks.

As for heat points, sorry I cannot help you I just fire till I see it get almost to red completely.

[darthcarloos]

this game gave me such a boner when I got it. It's been like almost 15 years... sigh. ever do the the codes? one dropped an airstike a-bomb and you could fight as an elemental

[crazy88boss]

Wow. You're very good, but do you prefer this over the Titanium version?

[SirxMMPD]

There is no comparison imo, the vanilla version is the best. Titanium's weapon values are based on mercs it and it lacks some of the origional music tracks.. and it does not even have a complete wireframe. :|

[crazy88boss]

I had the Titanium edition. Aside from the enhanced graphics it seems they changed the laser sound effects too? Yours sound diffrent from what I remember from my game. BTW, did you download this game or is it from disk?

[SirxMMPD]

Yes, they also changed the jumpjet sound effects too. This is my game. I did not download it.

[SirxMMPD]

Added annotations to the video for a trial run.. Please post up whether you guys find them worth putting on the videos or annoying. btw they can be disabled with the button in the bottom right.

[Mazryonh]

Please continue putting in annotations. I played this game a lot, but it was the stupid ATI OEM version, so I can't play it anymore. It doesn't help that I don't have a computer that can run Win98 anymore.

Thanks for bringing back some pleasant memories.

[SirxMMPD]

Thanks, I will add some more to the other vids when I have time then. btw the other 95 and DOS versions do work on XP.

[Mazryonh]

I have an old version of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries that I might be able to run on XP (do you mean in Compatibility mode?), but my copy of Mechwarrior 2 was one that came with an old ATI card, and won't work on any other.

[SirxMMPD]

Correct, ATI one is dead, but most of the other versions will work. Check out the website in the top right of the vid for more info.

[Mazryonh]

By Kerensky's blood, my version of MW2:Mercenaries didn't work after all. Maybe you could post a link in your channel description that describes how to run these old programs in WinXP?

[SirxMMPD]

too much writing to do that. Which is why i suggested the forums which is mentioned in the vid. :)

[Mazryonh]

Ok, is there a thread there you can give me the link to so I can see just what it takes to run MW2: Mercenaries on WinXP? It's a great game and I'd love to play it again.

[moneyshot911]

music for this level is legendary

[frogjedi4]

Why is it so laggy? And how did you get MW2 to work on your pc?

[SirxMMPD]

It was running in VMWARE on my Windows XP x64 system, so there is some minor lag when it comes to turning or much of anything else really unfortuneatly. Whenever you see me make an obvious mistake such as turning in a circle that is due to the lag, for some reason the input overcorrects very often. As far as visual lag, there is not much of that.
