Nice. A good game that is in effect mechwarrior with a different control scheme (literally) is Mechassault. All the mechs are the same, just play is much faster paced and more explosive. Nice work, by the way.

Definately. MechAssault games were great, and I think it's a damn shame they haven't made more.

Arh, where's your clanner respect? Timber Wolf, damn you! :)

My clanner respect? It's righhhhht there *points to the little guy getting fried* ;)

Whoohoo a Battletech fan :) I'm also a big fan ;) Thought my Favorite Mechs are :
Locust, Bushwacker, Madcat, Marauder and the powerfull Daishi.

But hmm... my biggest fav go's to the Marauder for very very cool Design ^^

Marauder was a badass design. It's just a shame it was a stolen design. :(

Yes :( It's a real shame but non the less i will hold up the flag for this great Mech! *salutes the Marauder with a tear in his eyes*

actually the marauder and the warhammer were licensed, not 'stolen'. When the license term came up Harmony Gold outright refused to renew the license term. In that single blow they killed the marauder, the warhammer and the entire LAM(Land-Air Mech) portion of the game rules.

That might be so but...*sniffs*... still they scraped the Marauder out of the game..and i will always miss that glorrious Battlemech

licensing issues don't prevent you using vintage 'mechs in a pen and paper game.

I wasn't fond of the marauder in mechwarrior, but in battletech it was a respectable innersphere model

yay mechwarrior ^.^

Masakari, Highlander, and the ever infamous Zeus.


Ironically when I competed at tournament level in MW4 I found myself in Madkat MK2's, Thanatos, Ravens and Uziels the most.

What clan were you in back then? if any? My clan used to go through wolfhounds in MW4 mercs like underwear, though they kept sticking me in a bushy because of my overwhelming love for the LBX20 :p

At the tournament level games we were inner sphere merc's, known as the Furious Angels.

When out of tournaments our guise to practice against normal clans and the like, we were more commonly referred to as CCR. CapCom Rising, that is.


In the tournament leagues we played in we were all forced to start with inner sphere equipment. We had to gradually gain our clan gear.. Which we did :P We had alot of skill in the unit and ended up, in our little alternate universe, single handedly destroying Clan Ghost Bear XD

Sounds like fun. Every other week Explorer Corps got hosed by pirates or clanners, and we were more renowned for making people lose insane amounts of money on their planetary assaults than actualy winning anything. I think we won about 45% of our engagements... invariably... those tended to be recon missions we'd win. I unfortunately never got into league play in old MW4 though, and with the community expansion packs now a requirement of league play, I cannot any more... too much of a headache and not enough new blood.

we played in tournaments IRL lol


We won about 70% of the games we played. Generally straight up assaults

When it came to the light mechs, if I wasn't in a raven and my friend wasn't in his cougar we wouldn't win.


My claim of fame was taking out one of the top 10 of the league we were in with a Raven while he was in an assault mech XD

That was beautiful

Bah, noobs.

My Flea will kick your tails any day of the week! FEAR MY PULSE LASERS OF DOOM! DOOOOOOOM! *Cough* *Hack*

Everybody's favorite model. ;3

i prefered the old virsion the maddog x3

the maddog is a 60ton midline support mech known as the "vulture" in stravag terms. the Mad cat(aka Timberwolf) is a 75ton frontline mech that is so nasty the innersphere call it an assault mech.

Although a Maddog can toss in that needed firepower at the last second and is a nasty piece of work in skilled hands(ie, you can slaughter a Zeus or an argus and be looking for leftovers) it just cannot stand up to a timberwolf with almost twice the armor plating and firepower.

used to havea custom maddog for online play it was funny as hell

what did you pack into it? A 60 ton clan chassis can carry a load of hell if you load it right.

no i went for the phycopathh approch i got lots of light weight 20 rocket launghers and lots of ammo and the rest was x pulse laser smalls

I think i tryed MechWarriors once (or just watched it)..couldnt get into it at the time :/

Mechwarriors Mercinarys was fun :3 tehehe

i loved mediums... almost all mediums i went in i killed things tehehe

I play Battletech (the tabletop) and the Mechwarrior games by Activision and Micrprose. And its sad that the Marauder was taken off, but at least he was a stolen design from Robotech (or was ist the original Macross anime?).

But the Mad Cat is my alltime favourite. If you ever played Mechcommander I+II, then you know what a squad of three Mad Cats can do.^^

I loved the second MechCommander. Great game. :) And the Marauder was from Robotech, you're correct. The Officers Battle Pod, as were the Warhammers, which were Destroids.

I'd love to get into the tabletop game, but I don't know anyone else locally who would play it with me. :(

Thats the same reason why I can't play the game right now, cuz my former playmate changed to Warhammer 40k.

*cough* Timberwolf.

X3 it goes by both names, just that Clan smoke Jagure call it the Mad Cat

Hummmmm madcat....murrrrrrr...

"MadCat! Jaguar MadCat! ... Dammit, sir, he's got us ranged!"

I loved pounding enemy Mechs from long range with this baby. I joined the BattleTech universe after playing MW3 at a friend's place. I hated MW4, and MW2 didn't play very well on my computer. That's what you get for playing a DOS game under Win98.

Yay for the TimberWolf! *Paints "WOLF KICKS ASS!!!" on the side and runs off to kick some Jade Falcon ass*

battle tech, mech warrior, and robotech fan over here...generally a fan of giant robots and have models and book of them:3

Hehehe...if you think the EBA (Elemental Battle Armor...aka "Toad") is a buggar...you've never met the Age of Destruction's Ravager BA. :P

That point aside...that's a nice picy of the Timber Wolf (Mad Cat to you IS types).

...now if I had time, I'd personally try the Savage Wolf (Mad Cat Mk IV)...

I too am a fan, though I go more for the gouger and the old Mad Dog, later adapted as the vulture I think... I like a good number but those are my most commonly used.

Ah my old favourite mech, the timberwolf(back in mechwarrior 2 anyway :p)
These days my favourite is the good old Urbanmech(say what you will, my old clan has a few stories to tell about me in that little garbage can), tied closely by the Uziel, Raven and Nova.

ahhh the nice madcat... *remembers his MK II version "Longbow" wichfires over 60 LRM´s in one burst* mhhh may i should install MW 3 and 4 and stomp a bit around XD

i didnt think anyone remembered that MechWarrior © game ^^

I do. I still play mechwarrior 3 when I get the urge. ^^;

Agreed. No mechwarrior game will ever paralell Mechwarrior 3.

Shame that Microsoft absorbed the company that made it. So who knows if or when we'll ever see another. ;.;

MW 3 was the best i ever played... MW 4 and add ons ar mot an shooter game only stomping around and destroying evrything witout that mech feeling from MW 3 wich was made from Fasa bevor Microsht absorbed it <.-.<

Hmmmm, The Madcat is my favorite.
Vulture is second, and the Daishi is third. MW4 pretty old now a days, I theres one more I cant quite remember....

Drake

FREE MARS

Madcat is love

Is BattleTech part of MechWarrior games? (Or is it the company making 'em. Sorry, I don't know much of the games, since I've only seen a couple of times the games, MW3 and 4)

Mad Cat is a Mech too agresive and is the most famous mech of all the serie, however, I prefer the Atlas, 100 tons of steel and dead! or the... I don´t know the new name, but on Mechwarrior 2 is Warhawk (ahh, good memories), the clans, the houses. Good, we need a movie now!!!

My first foray into Battletech was through MechWarrior 2. I actually perferred the Stormcrow in the earlier missions, but moved up to the Marauder for the rest of the game. PPCs and SSRM2s, along with pulse lasers, were the way I went with my Marauder.

madcat is <3
and of all the porn of urs i was browsing, this is the one that gets my attention and makes me wanna comment lol.

Very nice! Reminds me of the time I actually played a Mech game at a Dave And Busters. That was a blast! I plan to start a league someday.

yes! awesome! my fave too!
