Despite packing in a much more robust multiplayer, the sequel couldn't compete against the other popular shooters of that year and its population quickly declined. Don't make the mistake of thinking Titanfall 2 is dead, however.
It's multiplayer community is small, but there's still plenty of players in the more popular modes like Attrition—meaning Titanfall 2 is still one of the best mech games ever released. But make no mistake, MechWarrior Online is a great mech game in its own right.
The free-to-play shooter might not have a singleplayer campaign, but it captures the tense thrill of attrition-based warfare in its excellent competitive matches. Each game is a 12v12 slugfest that ends with players earning currency and experience, and customizing their rides in between rounds.
While that comes with its own share of problems like a long grind and microtransactions, MechWarrior Online excels at capturing the slow pace of combat that made the series so revered to begin with. Unlike most first-person shooters out there, where players can correct their mistakes with lightning quick reflexes, your life in MechWarrior often hangs with decisions made 30 seconds ago.
Being behind the wheel of a lumbering robot makes it impossible to get yourself out of trouble once you get into it, making cooperation with teammates a crucial part of victory. With an overly complex skill tree and an unintuitive menu system, MechWarrior Online isn't exactly friendly to newcomers. But it has a devoted community that is genuinely welcoming to newbies and has created abundant out-of-game resources to get new MechWarriors up to speed. And once you've gotten everything figured out you'll be able to customize hundreds of different mechs with over a hundred unique weapons systems, with all of it steeped in rich lore born from a classic game franchise.
You start off piloting a fairly standard space fighter, but pretty soon come across an experimental piece of military hardware called the Strike Suit. This suit is capable of switching between fighter mode, where you to fly about space Freelancer-style, and giant killer robot mode where you turn into a Macross-style mecha capable of taking down clouds of enemy fighters at the touch of a button.
The first time you line up your crosshairs on some plus incoming enemy fighters and let loose that wave of missiles will give you chills. It's a mech power fantasy unlike anything else.
Power, agility, and flitting from objective to objective while raining death and destruction wherever you go makes you feel like a robot god. And things get even more intense when you start taking on capital ships—the miles-long battlecruisers that will make you look like a bug, but never feeling like one. Thanks to two capital-ship-busting autocannons, you can crack open that battlecruiser faster than they can shout "nani?!

The disc was in there when it died so we abandoned it to rot in our garage forgetting about the disc.

MechWarrior 4: Vegeance is a sequel to 's successful MechWarrior 3. Mechwarrior 3: Pirate's Moon was an expansion pack for the popular third instalment of the mechwarrior franchise. It included new 'Mechs and new missions.
This expansion to MechCommander features more mechs, maps, weapons, and game modes. MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries was the third game in the MechWarrior 2 series, and improved significantly on the original's graphics, Mech customization mechanics and gameplay.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential games in the mech simulation genre, Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat allows players to pilot a heavily customizable BattleMech complete with astoundingly detailed contols. The story takes place during a heated conflict between Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon.
Shortly after the Council's decision, Gideon Braver Vandenburg found himself falsely accused of conspiracy and crimes against the state and was forced to flee off-world. Jordan Rowe , a friend of the Vandenburg family, provided him with safe passage on a DropShip , some money and an old Jenner.
Upon arriving at a nearby world, he abbreviated his name to Gideon Braver to avoid "complications", and created a small mercenary outfit, the Blazing Aces. Inquiries about the insignia seen on the BattleMechs that had pillaged Castle Vandenburg point Gideon to Grig Griez , a wanted crimelord operating from within the Draconis Combine.
On Land's End he makes contact with one of Griez's henchmen. Eventually, Gideon Braver gets to meet Grig Griez in person and agrees to deliver a message in a physical package to one of Griez's agents on Dustball in exchange for information. On Dustball, the recipient who calls himself Brown draws a gun on Gideon Braver apparently acting as the message ordered him to do but does not kill him when the "message" turns out to contain a deadly poison; Griez obviously wanted both Gideon Braver and Brown dead.
He in turn points Gideon to a world in the Federated Suns where Jack "has a woman". Immediately after meeting with the Scorpion pilot, another assassination attempt is made against Gideon Braver near the garrison's Saladin hovertank garages and he suddenly finds himself under attack from a sniper with a heavy gyroslug carbine. The attack is carried on the news on the next day, where it is reported that terrorists attacked the 5th Armored Rangers at their garages.
Kearny gives Gideon a slip of paper with an address where Gideon is to meet with Kearny in one hour if he wants to meet Jack, and also informs Gideon that it had been the Black Widow Company who had been moved to Ander's Moon with the Stone Arrow and attacked Castle Vandenburg bearing false unit insignia. However, Kangaroo Jack is murdered before Gideon can meet him. Confronted with the accusations, Kerensky denies any involvement and a bar fight ensues where only the intervention of a mysterious woman named Tasha saves Gideon Braver from a very severe beating by the Black Widows.
Kearny had just set Gideon up to get himself killed by the Black Widows. On the sidelines, Jordan Rowe is also implied to be working for Matabushi.
Following a message to seek out alleged MIIO agent Kearny on Albiero , Gideon winds up in an attack by the MI6 against the Matabushi HQ there that culminates in a showdown aboard a Karnov heavy transport helicopter between Tasha and Kearny, accusing each other of being Kurita operatives at gunpoint before Gideon's eyes.
Gideon elects to trust Tasha who subdues Kearny and explains that the MI6 had an independent mission against Matabushi underway, but saw Gideon Braver as having the same target.
Her own mission accomplished, she provides the Blazing Aces with detailed data on the whereabouts of the Chalice of Herne, which is guarded by the Dark Wing for Matabushi. She also hands him a share of the loot: 5,, C-Bills. With this information, Gideon Braver Vandenburg and the Blazing Aces eventually find and defeat the Dark Wing, and reclaim the Chalice of Herne within five years after it had been stolen from Ander's Moon.
The retrieval of the Chalice, together with the data disk on Operation Inroad, clear the Vandenburg name and the family title and honor is restored. Over the course of his adventures, Gideon Braver accepted many short term contracts for the Blazing Aces from one or more Successor States of the Inner Sphere.
Neither the player and his unit nor enemy forces can acquire or field 'Mechs of any other type. However, over the course of the storyline, a Scorpion features prominently in the narrative and yet other 'Mech models including Atlas and Griffin are mentioned at various points in the game, although they are not playable.
The game data files do contain the stats for the Wasp and Wolverine , but they are not playable either. The player can recruit lancemates from numerous applicants, although experienced MechWarriors only become available once the unit has gained a certain reputation. They can be hired and fired at the player's discretion, and can also die in battle. There are 24 men and 18 women, and 21 character portraits depict the crew in the game each portrait is shared by 2 characters. The world of Ander's Moon was not mentioned anywhere else in the BattleTech canon at the time, but its position on the game's somewhat warped starmap roughly corresponds with Elidere IV , as does much but not all of the political and economical information.
It was later confirmed in canon in Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. Only a fraction of the worlds from the BattleTech universe can be visited in the game—30 planets from each House except for House Liao who have only 25 worlds on the game map; no periphery worlds can be traveled to. A short one-line description is provided for each of these worlds, as is a population estimate and a rough impression of the environment as either tropical, ice or desert.
The data given is as follows:. Take enough action against a particular state and they will refuse to sign contracts with you, and you'll get unfriendly messages landing on any planet in their region. Some contract terms—the overall price, your percentage of salvage, and what proportion is paid in advance—are negotiable to some extent.
Steiner seem to pay the most, agreeing to larger increases in terms in your favor than others. Kurita will get sick of negotiating and give up if they don't like your suggested terms the third time round—you will need to fly to a different planet to 'reset' this if it happens. There is a small chance, at the end of a contract, that the other party will renege on the deal and pay you much less than what was agreed.
The value of contracts generally increases with the number of 'Mechs you will face. Each contract will estimate the number of light, heavy and medium 'Mechs the enemy will field against you, although this is not guaranteed correct—a contract to square up against two heavies may find an additional light or medium 'Mech on the battlefield once you actually make planetfall.
