Mechwarrior 2 -- Silver Staff

A casual run through Silver Staff (Clan Wolf campaign) on "Hard" difficulty, recorded through DosBox. DosBox already struggles a little bit just running the game by itself, hence the slowdown while recording.

I still think this is the best Mechwarrior game.

good work strafing those enemy mechs, nice blind shooting with the LRMs too. i love how you pick the arms off then target the body, i usually take a leg off then stand behind them. very fluid gameplay, this was a good video

i agree with you that mw2 was the best. 3 was ok, but 4 is paltry in comparison

Thanks. Many people swear by the legging technique; I like to fight a little more honorably. ;)

I've got a decent PC, but DosBox's performance doesn't matter anymore. I now have the Win95 versions of this and Ghost Bear's Legacy running on XP with MW2Hook.

One of the my favorite missions!

At last, someone who doesn't choose the easy way to win by blowing the legs off a 'mech. Restored my faith that there are still some true mechwarriors in the world.

Yeah and the LRMs were actually strong in MW2.

In MW4 they are just pathetic, they do barely any damage on their own. In this mission the LRMs took an enemy Dire Wolf from yellow torso (lightly damaged) to completely destroyed!

Plus you actually had to have skill to win in MW2 or NetMech. In MW4 multiplayer, you get all these people doing nothing but hiding behind hills, then jumping out and killing you in 2 seconds with heavy gauss or plasma cannons. No skill involved.

Warhammer ownz. I always picked either Timber Wolf or Warhammer in these missions.
