The game played in such a way that made it seem like you are in control of a real of a 20-100 ton fully equipped Battlemech. Not only did they make an amazing followup to the original Mechwarrior that a few handful of people got to play online as one of the first MMOs but what a most successful sequel did they create using the Clan factions ( The Jade Falcons, my old favorite Clan) rather than the Inner Sphere kingdoms.Ĭheck out the amazing intro, although there’s no way a Thor would stand a chance against any configuration of Mad Cat, especially my builds: Yeah, I played a ton of Cyber Empires but this was lightyears ahead of that. Here was an inmersive 3D giant robot simulator and after having played years upon years of Battletech, this game was heaven-sent. This was a whole new experience and this was the future of gaming.
