Fare Thee Well MechWarrior

[TheLoneCh33sburger]

The mech was the greatest thing that ever happened to me....Mechwarrior 4....best game ever...farewell.

Until Mechwarrior 5 comes...then the power of mechs will finally return to us all.

Every time i fire up my old pirated copy of mw4 mercs, i thank god and almost cry. It was my idiot friend who introduced me to the console game, and then opened my eyes to this beautiful world.

[MrPopscotch]

@1sidsquid Why would you pirate a game that is free? Pahaha!

[1sidsquid]

@MrPopscotch

because the downloader from mektek didn't work on my computer

[empath69]

@antichad109 This is not a eulogy for the *game*, but for a great, great man who organized a community around it; requiescat in pace, Neuro - your MWL was an epic feat that will always be remembered, long after you are gone, friend.

[JKorent]

This is incredibly beautiful. Well versed, friend, well versed.

[Gmrbro]

It's just so damn beautiful! *sobs*

In memory of the countless Inner Sphere, Periphery and Clan warriors who died to save the human species from the genocidal madness that was the Word of Blake.

Blessed are the Peacemakers.

R.I.P. Erick McClair, Black Knight mech warrior and stricker lance leader.

I remember the good old days playing mechwarriors on my old pc, I miss playing mechwarrior 2 on my windows 95, I miss all the mechwarriors I held dear to me. I'll miss all the great games, and be ashamed of that consol game mech assault!

On the other hand I hear they were making a new mechwarrior to be made a year ago, but it has been postponed due to a legal issue with harmony gold. WHO IS WITH ME TO PROTEST HARMONY G

[ColtTenney]

I think this video is fitting since there hasnt been a MW game release in 10 years. Its like we are saying goodbye to the game as well.

[wamX0Productions]

Rest in peace all Mechwarriors who have passed. Rest in peace to them all.

[TheTrollIsYou]

I know no mechwarriors that have died yet, but I fare thee well, those who have.

[madnessmaster237]

You have an amazing voice. I thought this was an official audio clip ripped from a mechwarrior game that I'd either failed to hear or forgotten until I read the video description.

[empath69]

@madnessmaster237 George Ledoux (who read byrumg's wonderful poem for us) was also the voice actor that played "Duncan Fisher", the arena announcer from Mechwarrior 4 - that's why it seems so 'official'. :)

(BTW, great reading George - you rock as always)

[empath69]

@empath69 Er, I mean "...NANO's wonderful poem..." (gotta stop skimming while I read) *blush*

[MMBNM]

It's a sad thought that all the old mechwarriors are gone but they are coming out with the new one

[underbow2]

@MMBNM sadly nobody knows if it was or is coming out, the trailer is old, I barely remember playing this as a kid, but I wish I had this game again. Even though I had only #3 and played it offline

[MMBNM]

[MarikoftheShadows]

Good Video and good poem.

I hope the talk about the remake of the games in not a joke. Luckly I still have a group that plays the clicks table top verson and there is talk in the good to start up the old Battletech again.

[rvndmnmt]

Not exactly fare the well.

I'm pretty sure you gonna see my bushwhacker fury in the hills soon.

Take heart.....There is another.

Until that day. You can pry my light gauss from my cold dead hands. And the fat lady ain't sung yet.

[Karuik2]

R.I.P. Shadowhawk, my memories of you are not many but they are great...

12-08-09

[rvndmnmt]

Shadowhawk good mech. Stood toe to toe against heavies with that one and held my own.

If 300 years of constant warfare haven't killed that venerable mech off. Then don't count on Microsoft killing it off either.

[gmodftwable]

arent they making a new mechwarrior?

i think its a remake or something...

[inuasha59]

Mechwarrior is not dead my fellow warriors!!! In the new generation, Mechwarrior is making a return! Smith & Tinker is now creating a new Mechwarrior. Also a new Total conversion mod is being made for Crysis! Mechwarrior : Living Legends!

[IgnisFatuum]

even in death i will serve clan Wolf with all my power...Let my Dire Wolf be my sword to the very end of are life...

[HunterZeroModding]

A mechwarrior never finds piece. Even in death, we are in a never dieing war. When i die i hope in my after life my timber wolf will be waiting for me.

[Battletech411]

its sad that the battle-tech series is dead

if i ever die i will serve jade falcon in my shadow cat

(cries)

[crmcduff]

Can I get this in text form?

[SwedishSensation1001]

Way too young.

[sproutly78]

*sp Nueromancer

[Mastro44]

MW5 is on its way baby! look up the trailer!

[EvilCleric]

More accurately, it's the Mechwarrior Reboot. Which is awesome.

[EDbringer]

I almost cried

[Battletech411]

[redbaroniii]

Great vid so were and how do I sart playing. Have read many, many of the books. I think I am a Lyrian by nature.

[sproutly78]

good place to start. mechwarriorleagues. com

the game is going to *soon be released for free. you can get alot of help on getting set up there, but like any website there are good people and bad on it so take some of the stuff with a grain of salt.

[TrueWarheart]

Fucking Epic. :)

MechWarriorLeagues remembers RAGE_Eragon.

[CrazyMautty]

This is...beautiful.

Those of us who had known those who did die, not in drops playing the game but real life, shall remember you for this.

There weren't many, but there were indeed a few players who have actually died during the course of the second through fourth installments.

[sproutly78]

many people play(ed) on line in units and grew close as friends. when one of these is called home there is naturally a void left behind. this is a remembrance of our lost friends.

if i remember right there was one person who did die while playing. very sad.

[sproutly78]

i think it was Jabs who passed while playing the game.

[Whodawhadadoda]

This was made for TenchiMuyo? I remember that, on Mektek. Beautiful

[byrumg]

Not just Tenchi. Any MechWarrior that has passed on.

[byrumg]

See the first page of the comments.

[Atrahasis7]

one of the best sci fi universes ever made this side of the world. Up there with Dune . . . someone has to bring it back. damn. ALL YOU GUYS START READING HAGAKURE.

[hydroman46]

mastro, same here

[GothicKnight797]

*sniff* so beautiful

[drizzeldorren]

Remember Worm,Psycho,and Claymore...and make those Liao Bastards pay.

[KenshiUchiha]

as much as i wish they would make a new mech warrior 5 cause of how the mutiplayer of 4 has been desimated i do find this touching, and to be its death, this would be a proper poem for the battle feilds of the war machiens we loved to pilot, to be. i find this a great work but i do hope there is atlest 1 more mech game int he works, one with dozens of chassies again like in the days of mech 2 or mayvem a rerelease? take a classic, and give it the new look that has become popular with movies

[Keerakh23]

Remember Smith & Tinker bought the rights. There is still hope.

[KenshiImmortalWolf]

yeah but the story line in the books kinda do worry you cause of the WOB attack so either they need to go into a ting that hasnt or maybe rerelease an older game with upgrades or maybe a prequal one of the earlier succession wars

[wargamer36]

Rest well fellow Mechwarrior

[byrumg]

I remember Matthew David William Meyr,TenchiMuyo81

[Mastro44]

It will be back I know that a timberwolf will come out of the shadows some day. i know it ive played mechwarrior since I was 5 and im 15. I started with MW3 .then MW4 I loved playing online using

a Madcat MK 2 with jump jets and some light gauss for range and hide behind a hill then jump jet and sniping them out with enhanced optics that was fun.and I love using the cougar with LRM 15s and two ER large lasers

I called it my battle scout. hit em wid the LRMs then pounce and do the circle trick

[talldude007]

to all those that i have lead and fought beside in combat, i shall know no thrill like a hunt besides my kinsmen, for the clans, for those who fought at my side shall be my brothers and sisters

[promagic]

Mechwarrior... Cling thee not to this world As it holds for you no more But listen... Listen for the song from afar And heed the lilting call of the lands that awaits... Let the final breath slip from your pierced chest And your broken hands fall from the stick Bend your bloody brow to this life, and let tumble the shattered helm that once cradled your head Leave behind these acrid smokes of the fields These swirling battlegrounds of charred metal, bone, and flesh

[promagic]

Nor can cruel laser and cold gauss reach

Where rolling hills of soft sun, and velvet grasses embrace

And quiet waters sooth your believed soul

Then, lay thee down Mechwarrior, lay thee down and sleep

Dream the dreams of victors

Loose the silver cord

And find your peace complete

Fare thee well Mechwarrior

Fare thee well...

[byrumg]

That should be "beleaguered soul" ;-)

[promagic]

Depart from the flashing fires that filled your eyes with destruction

And abandon the burning hulk of steel and crimson that was your mount

Hold not to this realm, but hasten

Hasten down the twisting path to the mountains

To the dark mountains and beyond

And across the shimmering sea

Voyage then, voyage thee well Mechwarrior

Voyage thee well and long

Cross the great divide, and find the land that beckons with its sirens song

Where swords and strife can not follow

[frogjedi4]

I truly wish that mechwarrior would come back. All of their games were greatly entertaining. I never even got a chance to play an actual online match, only LAN games. Ah I remember the mighty Timberwolf, the destructive Warhammer, the towering Behemoth, and my personal favorite, the Rifleman.

Rest in peace Mechwarrior, Mechassault, Mechcommander, and the first title of all, Battletech.

[tommygunner70]

Ronaldo "Helios" Havers.

How can it be that it is raining in my living room?

Or why are my eyes wet?!?

5/5

[mech007Ag1]

Mechwarrior still has a community and many still play. It will not die Mektek has kept it alive with ever increasing content and Mercstorm will soon release Mechwarrior Living Legends a mod on the crysis game engine.

[Epicon090]

Every time I watch this It brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful.

[SailorPip]

Truly outstanding vid. Masterfully written and read.I miss all the guys from MercNet; NBT and ADL live on in my memories. Thanks for posting!

[SailorPip]

I remember:

Swoop, star mate in Clan Jade Falcon, died young and left a family behind.

Those MIA: Nightmare Pryde, DarkDemon Kryla, Lordface Hazen, DPR, ChrisMOG, Hellwolf, Wight, Wolf Hawker, Aaron, Oracle, Charon, TheJoker, BLADE, |-|ornet, Crono, Alikchi, Rue deLaurel, Ace. The list is longer still.

[mech007Ag1]

Pryde still plays and so do many others from CJF

[justinsreality]

@mech007Ag1 Just found this thread out of the blue by googling my old handle (DarkDemon Kryla). I'm actually installing Mech2: Mercs (can't find my Netmech CD) on my system right now. I was digging through some old CDs and wanted to listen to the soundtrack.

Just wanted to chime in and say hello and see if you could maybe pass on a hello from me to anyone you might still have some contact with from CJF. Thanks!
