@user-wl2rb3rh5c it's sort of a long convoluted plot line that takes place over a lot of Classic era novels. The basic plot line is that Jerome Blake stayed behind when the rest of the SLDF left, preserved what Star League tech he could, and kept the lines of communication between the nations open. As years passed, Comstar became a religious cult and leadership had Designs of Comstar reuniting the states after they blasted themselves into the dark ages. The schism pretty much takes place when Sharliar Mori, who was actually an agent of the Order of the Five Pillars of house Kurtia, and Anastasius Focht(Frederick Steiner) decide to share technology and help the Inner Sphere fight the clans, and they also did away with a lot of the mysticism of Comstar. The fanatics didn't like that. There's more, but it's not something that I can fit comfortably into a comment section. Sarna.net's wiki could be a good resource to look at if it's still online
If you haven't heard, there's a mod project to recreate MW2's campaign in MW5 with the remastered MW2 OST from Timothy Seals. That same modder started off by adding classic mech models to MW5. There are some gameplay videos on youtube, so check it out and see if it scratches that nostalgia itch!

Holy crap the way you dusted those 2 light Mechs at the start of the first mission was wild. 20:35
That Mad Dog from the intro either has jumpjets or it is just in turret mode there.
16:42 It's now a Catapult.
A Mad Catapult about to be eliminated
It's illegal to skip the intro to this legendary game!!
I can't wait until the novel that undoes all the hard work these guys did cuz Comstar isn't going to forgive or forget.
Took me a real long time to warm up to the clans. But they really lost me with the word of Blake jihad and the dark age timeline.

Really curious on these two events, can you give a quick rundown?

Basically Comstar was to play white knight and reunite the sphere under the word of Blake.
Word of Blake happened, then they went after the Bears. It didn’t go well for them
Too bad they can't bring back the Huang guy to cut a new sound track for a MW6. Also, I wish the feeling for MW2 could be recreated in a new game.
