I just thought I start a thread about MechWarrior because MechWarrior is amazing. Share stuff like your favourite MechWarrior game, favourite 'Mech, weapon and stuff.

Does anyone know know whether or not there will be a 5th MechWarrior?

My favorite game was definitely Mechwarrior 3. It was fairly complex, the mechs felt heavy and powerful and it was fun.

The Mad Cat's my favorite mech. I think I still have a bunch of battletech cards of the Mad Cat variants.

Mech4 was good if you could get it on budget. Wouldn't (and didn't) pay the full £30 for it though.

MadCat Mk2 was pretty cool too.

Mechwarrior 2 and Timber Wolf.

I'd say MW4: Mercs, and probably the Mad Cat/Timber Wolf.

Oh, and MW3 and the Daishi (blew one up a few times because it couldn't handle the heat from 6 ER large Lasers...pfft...and they call it a heavy mech...)

 
 
I like the Cauldron Born in MW3, the screwed it up in MW4. MW4:Mercs was great, much better than MW4. The Madcat 1/2 are cool (I still think Madcat mk 2 should have more slots on the arms) and the Shadowcat was sweet. All IS mechs/tech/weapons SUCK! its Clan or nothin!

MW2:Mercs > Anything since

Original Battletech > All

Favorite mech is the Thug, but thats based on level 1 battletech, since that's my favorite of them all to play.  In Mech4: mercs, I'll take the Loki everytime and run circles around your Daishi.  The Marauder is the coolest looking, I'll invent improved designs for it just so I can keep using the same model =)

Oh, and the original mechcommander kicked ass.  Best RTS i've played before or since.

 
Mechwarrior 4. Daishi. LBX-10s, 20s, etc.

Brings me back. I remember my custom Daishi. Completely decked out with LBX weaponry and max armor. It could cripple an Atlas in one shot, and take the return fire and barely go yellow.

Well, having only played the MechCommander series, I have to say my favorite mech is the Shadow Cat.

Mech 3. Everything felt "right" and the mechs felt powerful.

Plus, I loved the Vulture and the old customization screen.

Mechwarrior 3 was the best. It was the only game to do briefings right (you get a tiny grainy video and some vague idea of what to expect), plus the fact that the only equipment you had was what you salvaged gave it more of an underdog feeling.
Favorite mech was Daishi (Dire Wolf) with a bunch of ERPPCs.

Microsofts redition of the Mechwarrior universe turned the awesome Battletech stuff into weak half-assed ****ty crap. Go play mechwarrior 2, then visit classicbattletech.com to see what Battletech and Mechwarrior is _really_ like


Hellbringer, Summoner, Dire Wolf, Black Lanner, Coudron Born, Timber Wolf

Clan > IS

Oh, BTW, I play Dark Age.

I don't know, but I always liked Nova filled with small lasers.
Small, fast, agile, could pump a ****load of damage into target from close range. Too bad the torso was so static.
In MW2: Mercs of course.
lol wtf
