Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

God I know. Whoops I just jumpjet strafed off the giant icecube again.
I always tried to get back on it, even though I knew it was completely pointless and I should have just restarted as soon as I screwed up.
come here and let me kiss you on an orifice of your choosing
Takes place during the last part of the third succession war I think.

MechWarrior 2 and all expansions and Ghost Burrs are so great. I really didn't love Mechwarrior 3 though. In-mission repair kind of ruined that game for me. Also somehow all the missions lacked the crazy creativeness of the MW2 games.
things you do in the MW2 games:
blow up a nuclear reactor
accidently float off a giant ice frigate in space
become a submarine
Also my manual told me that a maneuver all the cool pilots were doing was jumping on other mech's heads though I was never able to successfully do that.
And then I read the sort of 'mission statement' on IGN about what the devs are going for in the new game and I had to shut down due to overheating.
Those were such good manuals.
I played 2 + expansions more than any of the other ones combined
I think you mean PPC
Oh no, my mechwarrior cred.
Such thunderous, meaty ramming
Could you even get a PPC on an Elemental? I think the weapon weighed more than the armor.
It just fell like the dropship Blackhammer.
Stone Rhino
man that thing was boss
When you created a custom loadout, the game saved it as a file in a directory, and the files could be hex-edit hacked to do all kinds of wacky things.
That and a single jump-jet were basically the only thing you could fit on it. One shot, and if you were at anything above 0 heat you would shut down.
I just want the site to be up!

I heard this song and I remembered which mission it was almost immediately, which was really weird
They're great games, but they play like a lightweight military simulator, even though at first glace they seem kind of FPS-like. Maneuvering your Mech around takes a lot of getting used to, and it can feel really sluggish until you get the hang of torso twisting, using jump jets, setting up fire control systems, things like that.

This was an awesome song
mission failed
Makes me want to try to get MW2 running again while the server is having a seizure.
Played the hell out of 3 & 4 too
Oh man that was a great couple of days. Colored lighting! 60 FPS! Textures!
Hah, yeah I remember my jaw dropping when I saw the PPCs fire for the first time.

FUCCKKK YEEEEEAH.
I actually still have two mint condition jewel cased (originals, not remakes) of Mechwarrior 2 and Mechwarrior 2 Ghost Bear's Legacy. SO AWESOME.
Do you guys remember the RTS mechwarrior game, MechCommander? I played the shit out of it.
Man, I need to pull these out of mothballs and get my shit hooked up. We're lookin at getting a house in the next two weeks.
