07 - Part 2 - MechWarrior 2 - Wolf - Burning Chrome

Part 2 of 2

The seventh speed run in a series of levels.

The goal of the complete run is to use a firemoth only where allowed, therefore times may be improved in larger mechs, however that is not the goal.

Unlike the previous mission there was enough time to destroy the dropship on hard. I think the time on this run could be improved by one minute, but at the moment I am not going to redo it because the mission is not easy in the least.

The Completion time by game time is 15:09

Isn't there a glitch where if you fire another laser before you let the last one hit, the laser does no damage?

[SirxMMPD]

some have said that. I myself dunno whether it is real or not. Need to do some tests someday to find out.

[Terrichance]

Is that a Firemoth you're in? Not my choice of mech, but since this IS a speedrun...

[SirxMMPD]

well, more specifically a firemoth speed run. It is not a general do whatever you can to get the game defeated quickly as possible in the best mech speedrun. :)

Truth be told thanks to one of our modders at the mech2 site I might rerun a few of the missions in a elemental somewhere down the road. (now that would be a boring sight indeed since i would only have 2 weapons at most)

@sonickchri The DOS version is what seems to be the best by consensus anyway. I bought an old Pentium 1 recently and loaded mw2 mercs. Runs OK, 320 rez with half the options turned off, but just makes me want it on a new machine at 640 max settings at least. Thanks for the input.

@437thx1138 On this subject there are opinions about which version is better. The DOS version is by a significant margin FAR more compatible with XP and later (installed and played through DOXBox). It runs perfectly fluid - just not as many textures and pallets. However, other versions require patching and in many cases are not playable at all. Plus they are plagued with glitches (unless you have a Win 95 platform and decent enough graphics card). Most people prefer the DOS versions graphics,too

@sonickchri Going to Win 7 in a week or two. The Vista troubles are over for me. Just going to go with 7. I have about all the versions DOS win95 Titanium Thrustmaster and a few more. All over the web a yr or so ago and picked up some spares. The DOS version is best for 7?

[sonickchri]

@437thx1138 it works on Vista (assuming you still have Vista and the right version of the game) and Windows7. go to mech2.org forums if you haven't already to try to figure how how to get it to work. good luck!
