This game was tons of fun. I played it on a VooDoo Graphics with a full ThrustMaster HOTAS set up. That was a lot of fun. Once I figured out I could use the rudder pedals to rotate the waist, I was hooked (I also used them to strafe in the Quakes!). Fun times :)
pointless comment, but god i used to love this game when i was like ... 9?? At that time I thought the graphics were like.. surreal. looking back is always so funny :)
the german female voice is much more erotic IMHO. but the english one is fine too. I used to love to play his game, though the long sight is really bad not to speak of the graphics. Still it gives you a great felling of really sitting in a mech. I'd love to see a movie based off the mech warrior games.
For those complaining about the graphics, MechWarrior 2 was one of the pioneers of high resolution polygon graphics. Seeing polygons move this quickly and smoothly was amazing at the time. This is also the Titanium Trilogy version which has more textures than the flat shaded original which some people prefer.
Even with the early graphics the gameplay was so spot on your imagination still let you feel like you were piloting an mech into battle.
@errorparrot people complainging about the graphics are probably kids anyway so its nothing to listen to really, i pity todays kids, growing up with all that mainstream megacorp bullshit that just keep spitting out prequel after prequel, selling them the same game over and over with diffrent name, playing games in the early to late 90ties was the shit. i wanna go back in time
@drglibrl With you there mate. For example I actually find games like 98's Thief: Dark Project FAR more immersive than say, 2008's Crysis with all graphics settings maxed out. I think the beauty of these old-school games was that they encouraged you to use your imagination. I find that I get bored very quickly with later state of the art games and go back to play the old classics instead... they've got this charm to them that newer games seem to lack completely.
@drglibrl me too mate. this game took over my mind when i was young... when pc games were still being virginized. I too feel bad for kids now adays. they missed out on the PC gaming experience which cant be replaced.. Whenever i play new games I just drool over the graphics. and remember the days of kyrandia and THE ULTIMATE DOOM
@mrharryballzonya that's what i got for my computer! it plays the "shutdown sequence initiated. shutting down" whenever i shut down, too. pm me and i'll send you it or point you in the direction to dl it.
The thing for this game and possibly 3 is that when you walk inside a mech the cockpit actually shakes, which makes it all the more realistic. Also whoever voiced the computer in this game should get an award if they didnt already.
Of course they don't! However, the MW4 system doesn't let you make Battlemechs of your own at all!
My point here is: MW4 is a little more realistic in the limitations, but it also restricts you from making mechs any way you want. If I want to pilot a stock Uziel, MW4 lets me. However, if I wanted to pilot a Trebuchet, I couldn't. In MW2/3, it was possible to make any kind of Mech with the models available, even if the aesthetics weren't perfect.
Ah yes, good times. Mech Warrior 2, Hellbender, Descent, POD, and Commander Keen were the games I was addicted to growing up. PC gaming was so good then. It still is good, but some of these games will never stop being awesome.
Seriously! Those clouds beat the crap out of most brand new games! What really made the older games so great though, was the ability to customize machines and pilot almost any mech in existence, versus the extremely limited selection in newer games. There's no beating classic Mechwarrior!
As much as I love good old Mechwarrior 2 and Mercs (they got me into the series), I have to respond to your "limited selection" comment.
111 Mechs, soon to be more with the upcoming release of Mekpak4, plus 15 battle armor/infantry is hardly "limited".
In fact the only selection that comes close to that of MW4:Mercs, as far as I know, is the NAIS-patched Mercs2 (which does sorta bear out your comment but only if one doesn't know about the Mekpaks).
there ARE limitations. While the older mechwarriors do many things better than 4, 4 really shines in the mech lab. Compared to the older games where every hard point is an Omnirack.
Except that MW2 is mostly omni-mechs so it made sense that they behave that way. Also there's no actual rule that says that it's impossible to mount Weapon X on 'Mech Y. There are canon Catapult designs with no missile and an all energy loadout, there's a difference between harder to change (traditional 'Mech vs Omni) and downright in possible.
it just goes to show that a great game is based on programming, and not amazing graphics at the end of the day. The graphics can't be like crap, but fluid programming is a must
Oh man, this brings back memories. There was this one level on the wolf campaign that I remember attempting like 20 times a in row. It was ridiculous because you had to face 5 summoners at once, and the heaviest mech you were allowed was a timber wolf. Ahh man, good times!
god this is one of those shows that better graphics dont make a better game.... as much as mech 3 and 4 had better graphics and refined gameplay, the lack of sevral old designs relaly make it less fun that is why i loved mektek
I discovered MW2 late, about 1997 I think. It came with a Matrox Mystique 3D accelerator I bought. That version was the perfect one. Not too much on the special effects, just textured earth and sky. All the brilliant OST was there. And it ran really smooth. Since then I've played the 3DFX version which was bad, and the classic original which was great. One of the best games ever on PC I think.
And yeah, that Matrox Mystique was useless at everything but the bundled MW2. :D
Not Zork, I was very action/Strategy/FPS orientated up until about 1996/7. Diablo was the first game I ever played on Windows 95, a demo on PC-Zone CD cover disk. It made me realise that windows was now capable of running good games as well as DOS. I had an AMD-K6 100Mhz back then, but soon upgraded to an Intel 200mhz MMX when Quake 1 was released. I think my HD was 9.6gig, which was special :D
Great days, like I said, the golden era of PC gaming.
Seeing Doom at a PC shop in 1993, the first PC game I ever saw. Playing UFO enemy unkown 2 months later after saving for a budget PC (which couldn't run Doom). Buying my first pentium PC and playing direct X games in 65000 colours. Playing deathmatch Quake with mouse and keyboard. Buying a voodoo card and playing Quake 2. Playing System Shock 2 and Deus Ex back to back in 2001. Finishing ROME TW. Playing Quake 3 online for 20 hours straight.
LOL This is epic! I remember playing this with my first MS Sidewinder with a 4 way hat and 4 buttons on the base. I'd give up quite a bit to go relive the days of Mech Warrior, Hellbender, Monster Truck Madness, Delta Force1 and 2. Those days were some of the best.
The MS Sidewinder!!! Yes!!! I remember getting that as a Christmas Gift when I was six years old.. Its a shame I was only a child in those days (I still played Mechwarrior, Earthsiege 2, Interstate 76 and so many others religiously), because now I miss the era of 90's gaming so much... Those days really were the best.
Your gaming keynotes are similar to mine iris, sometimes I wonder if my taste in games would be different now if I had played one game over another in the early days. PcZone isnt a patch on what it used to be either, I still buy it religiously though. Misguided loyalty I suppose.
omg i used to play this game with my old Aptiva (win95) and they gave me a Ms Sidewinder pro when i bought the computer (actually my father bought the pc)
well what im doing now is just putting the whole game and everything on a usb drive. then i'll boot my laptop throught the jumpdrive. i'll check out d-fend though.
Lol I took as many medium Laasers as I could run up to the mech and shoot out its leg....worked pretty well lol....then I ran into one of the lvls where I was in the city at night in my mad cat and kept gettin raped by those Kitfoxes....yes I sucked at this game
Used to love this game. If you got enough machine guns and linked them together it was like an "i win" button. I bought mechwarrior 4 and it doesnt have quite the same feel. They make the graphics better but they short you on the gamplay.
omg i used to play this on my 95 ibm the game came free with it! I was ten and rocking on earth but couldn't understand how to play for red fox or any of those.. how are you still playing this what system do you have?
I tried the POWERVR version on my laptop and it doesn't get past the mission menus. I press accept mission and then it flashes and says MISSION FAILED. ???
For those who have the Titanium pack,here are some XP Patches that work in everything except Multiplayer.Remember to make sure your also running the programs in Win95 Compatability mode,as the patches say.
I loved this game so much, it will definately not run on my Windows XP now, but this game was amazing, and btw, how did you get the camera to follow your missles? I never did that, they really need to remake this, leave everything exactly the same, just update the graphics and some sound effects a little (I used to LOVE the PPC Cannons, they had a cool sound to them)
sorry about stupid ! ii play thsi agme when i was 4 or 5 nwo im 12 ! i liek it i liek to use the i dont know the name of teh robot!@i always kill a person small person ! i like it !u got teh dsiscx/!but \wind 95 my win is xp
FOR EVERYONE LOOKING FOR THE SOUNDTRACK... If you put the PC disc into your CD player and hit "skip" while it's loading, it'll go over the gaming code and play the soundtrack. It makes for some epic driving music!!!!
this looks different from my MW2 game. The patters on the ground and in cockpit look different. Also I don't remember any clouds. Is this a modded version or a newer version of the game? Like I say, looks rather different.
I had a summoner with 3 medium lasers, 1 small laser, and the rest that stuff that cools you down, armor and the jet pack. unstoppable. And I used to play multiplayer against human beings, not the shitty computer =]
Yeah, those sounds are what made it sound "right" and made MW4 seem like a diff game entirely (other than the fact that the story-line was mostly a separate story based off a similar idea). I've already said this, but MS needs to make another MW game based off the MW2 story and feel and basically do what C&C3 did: Improve graphics, but keep as much of the original feel while still improving the game/gameplay. I would buy it.
Daaamn!!! This was the best game ever. I used to play it on a old Mac. My favorite mission was destroying the Core reactor on the planet, which meant walking for 15 minutes, crushing Summoners and Dire Wolves, and after you destroyed the core reactor, running like hell to reach the escape transport.
The best mecha game... Which is your favorite Mech? mine is the Nova and Warhammer. Nav Gamma Reached, Mission successful.... :oP
Timber Wolf, Summoner, DireWolf, Warhawk and that one big one with the face and machine guns in his fingertips if I am remembering correct theres oe like that
pulse lasers owned soo much! i also liked that single missle launching thingy that does massive damage, it was arrow something like roman numerals whatever cool game
I only have the original DOS/Windows 95 version, Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat. I'd love to get my hands on a 3D accelerated version as well. Aren't there any source ports (like ZDoom or Doom Legacy for Doom)?
Very impressive graphics for a game ten or more years old. Where do you download the 3Dfx graphics update patch for the Windows 95 version of MW2? I can't find it anywhere and would really like to play this game without the quite frankly boring graphics of the unpatched game. Thanks in advance. (If 3Dfx isn't the correct name, someone please correct me.)
This game was so much fun!

COuld you tell me how? I played this when I was about 6 too, and I really want to play again. Compatability mode doesn't work for me. :(
I miss this game so much. It's definately my all time fave.

Well, I downloaded it too, but it wouldn't work for XP either for me. If you find a solution, please tell me?
blackice228 3 years ago
Of course. Right now I'm planning on just getting my friends old computer that runs Windows 95. Kind of alot for just one game, but oh well.

I tried the POWERVR version on my laptop and it doesn't get past the mission menus. I press accept mission and then it flashes and says MISSION FAILED. ???

For those who have the Titanium pack,here are some XP Patches that work in everything except Multiplayer.Remember to make sure your also running the programs in Win95 Compatability mode,as the patches say.

I loved this game so much, it will definately not run on my Windows XP now, but this game was amazing, and btw, how did you get the camera to follow your missles? I never did that, they really need to remake this, leave everything exactly the same, just update the graphics and some sound effects a little (I used to LOVE the PPC Cannons, they had a cool sound to them)

FOR EVERYONE LOOKING FOR THE SOUNDTRACK... If you put the PC disc into your CD player and hit "skip" while it's loading, it'll go over the gaming code and play the soundtrack. It makes for some epic driving music!!!!
ENJOY!

The CD version of the game had very cool and amtospheric music.

this looks different from my MW2 game. The patters on the ground and in cockpit look different. Also I don't remember any clouds. Is this a modded version or a newer version of the game? Like I say, looks rather different.
Not to mention the voice is diff.
arcturus8765 4 years ago
One of the best games ever made.

This must have been the 3D accelerated version. I don't remember these textures and those clouds in mech 2.

I had a summoner with 3 medium lasers, 1 small laser, and the rest that stuff that cools you down, armor and the jet pack. unstoppable. And I used to play multiplayer against human beings, not the shitty computer =]
bigfookingun 4 years ago
Yeah, those sounds are what made it sound "right" and made MW4 seem like a diff game entirely (other than the fact that the story-line was mostly a separate story based off a similar idea). I've already said this, but MS needs to make another MW game based off the MW2 story and feel and basically do what C&C3 did: Improve graphics, but keep as much of the original feel while still improving the game/gameplay. I would buy it.

Daaamn!!! This was the best game ever. I used to play it on a old Mac. My favorite mission was destroying the Core reactor on the planet, which meant walking for 15 minutes, crushing Summoners and Dire Wolves, and after you destroyed the core reactor, running like hell to reach the escape transport.
The best mecha game... Which is your favorite Mech? mine is the Nova and Warhammer. Nav Gamma Reached, Mission successful.... :oP

the cinematics of the game is crap compared to shattered steel. but what it lacks in cinematics it surely makes up in gameplay!

MW2 is STILL the best Mechwarrior game in my books. It just had the original Battletech feeling that was lost by all the newer games.

I only have the original DOS/Windows 95 version, Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat. I'd love to get my hands on a 3D accelerated version as well. Aren't there any source ports (like ZDoom or Doom Legacy for Doom)?

Very impressive graphics for a game ten or more years old. Where do you download the 3Dfx graphics update patch for the Windows 95 version of MW2? I can't find it anywhere and would really like to play this game without the quite frankly boring graphics of the unpatched game. Thanks in advance. (If 3Dfx isn't the correct name, someone please correct me.)
