Mechwarrior 2 Opening Cinematic

I actually miss this game, despite never having been a huge clan fanatic.
I hadn't thought about this game for a while, and then it just popped into my head. I searched around the net and found the clip elsewhere, so I thought I'd upload it and share it all with you.
Enjoy, and remember the last appearance of the Warhammer, Marauder, Rifleman, and the Battlemaster.

If you have the right mech, the right skills, and the opportunity, they are really brutal.

That's usually what happens when you fit machineguns on your mech.

[dsknighthawk]

Actually, in the tactical game, especially if you play Solaris VII rules, machineguns are seriously powerful. I've built entire mechs around TIC'ed Machinegun arrays. Put it this way, 30-someodd machineguns x2 (damage) is 60, and with that many rolls, you can easily cause at LEAST 1 piloting roll, and if you have some lasers tic'd as well, or you just fire everything...watch out! The damage can be severe enough that you can cause shutdowns. Now, flamers...that's a whole other thing.

"What is your situation?" "About to get fucked up the ass"

ROFLMAO!! "I'm kinda dead sir"

I was a nut for this game back in the day. Got a Khan rank on two files for both clans... ah. I always loved the Nova (best well-rounded mech IMO, although it was so easily to kill enemy ones because of a rendering bug which polygonized their already-exposed cockpits, making them so easily to hit), and the Warhawk, which I always decked out with 2 PPCS in each arm, as well as some lasers. I didn't mind the Hellbringer, either. Can't believe Rifleman's gone... those were a bugger to kill.

@armoredplacoderm Ok, it's been a while, but I think the Summoner is a Thor or Loki, I think that's either a Large Laser or AC/10 in the arm. Without the stats infront of me I can't be sure...but I'm pretty sure it's not a Gauss Rifle.

What did the Summoner even shoot at the Mad Cat?

[s2ms2r2]

@Pikaandpi You just reminded me of my custom "Super" Nova, with jump jets and a whole load of small lasers, flying/running in close range and blasting off legs off any assault mechs

I always thought the PlayStation's port of this game was better then the PC version at the time. The music was better too. But now I am all over the PC MWLL because it pwns any mechwarrior game to date in just about every category minus the single-player.

@Fireshadow19 Timber wolves are nice, but nothing beats a Warhawk. 4 ER PPCs = instant death to anything you set your sights on.

[Fireshadow19]

LAME! Summoner could not possibly beat the timber wolf it's just to fucking awesome.

Really would love a transcript, still can't understand some of what these guys are saying.

[DrGreenfun]

[januseva]

Nostalgia overload. My father and I watched this so many times way back in the day. I love this game!
