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!

Aw c'mon, don't hate. I have a fondness for the Jenner from piloting it for so long in Mechwarrior 1 (EGA graphics, baby!) Which, incidentally, is a game that none of the sequels have been able to capture everything I liked about.
MW2 let you be entirely too mobile with the lateral jump-jets, made the lasers and PPCs act like projectiles instead of instantaneous beams, and generally had 'mechs that seemed overpowered (that may have just been an artifact of all the Clan tech). MW3 improved the look and gameplay, but still didn't have the tactical map where you could order around your lancemates in realtime or the whole open-world mercenary contract structure I liked so much. I hated pretty much everything about the soft, cartoony look of MW4's graphics and seemingly simplified customization, so I never played it past the demo.
I never got around to playing MW2 Mercenaries, oddly enough, since it seems like it would have come the closest to recreating MW1, although most of the things I disliked about MW2 would presumably have carried over.
I'm not saying MW1 didn't have its drawbacks (the technical limitations and only having one map most noticably), I just find it odd that it hasn't been completely superseded by one game in all this time. I suppose it's similar to how people feel about the original X-Com.
Reading about the new game, it seems like you'll be able to play as a Mercenary and bid on contracts if you want, I already like the look, and it starts pre-Clan invasion, so maybe it'll finally break the streak.
Someone tell me how to play it.Nevermind! Found a thing called MechVM.Battlemaster was a beast in that game.

Also, I've never been into the lore even though I played MW2 for hundreds of hours as a kid, but do a lot of Mechs have hands? I always remembered just arm-mounted weapons, are there Mechs that can like, wrassle other Mechs?
Atlas was hidden in a heavy forest. Punched a Puma to death that stopped right in front of me, then picked up a boulder and took out another mech by virtue of killed the left side torso when it had an XL engine.
Yep, it takes a couple years for them to design one with four of them.
I didn't see anything about changing engine size.
I did see stripping armor, but it did not say whether or not this made your mech faster.
wanna strip all armor and boost up that engine
There's also lovely screenies of the Catapult, shamelessly stolen from the G&T thread. Looks like you can even use a Kuritapult!
And then that will be the one I love more, because I love mastering strategy/tactics/management games and struggle to stick with pewpewpew for long lengths of time (with a few exceptions).
oh well time to install some older mechwarriors and play through those
