Mechwarrior 2 Playthrough: Clan Wolf (Complete)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2015
- The complete Clan Wolf campaign from the classic sim game Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat. I cleaned it up a bit, also, where some spots were out of audio-sync.
Plug in your neurohelmet and strap yourself into a one-hundred ton massive war machine in Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, a mech-driving simulator from Activision (1995)!
Bitter combat rages across dozens of worlds throughout the Jade Falcon occupation zone. Against the backdrop of the Refusal War, you start as a lowly cadet in either Clan Jade Falcon or Clan Wolf as they battle for what may very well decide the future of not just the invading clans, but the entire Inner Sphere. Will you rise from the ranks through tactical prowess and victory in arena-style Trials of Position to become Khan of your clan, or will you simply be another name in the long line of fallen warriors?
Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat gave its players numerous play options, with 32 missions (16 per side) as well as a nearly-infite number of Trial of Grievance 'instant action' missions to jump straight into combat. Mechwarrior 2 has 15 different pilotable chassis, from the weak yet fast Firemoth, through the iconic Timberwolf, up to the 100-ton Dire Wolf behemoth, and all fully customizable to (nearly) the Battletech rules. It also allows you to bring up to two additional computer-controlled starmates to assist you on your objectives, leading to many possible strategies for each mission.
This sequel to the fondly-remembered but otherwise unremarkable 1989 game Mechwarrior, Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat can arguably be credited with helping to thrust Battletech, and giant-mech combat games, truly back into the limelight. With controls more similar to that of contemporary flight sims, Mechwarrior 2 successfully melded exciting action with an intricate setting, diverse missions, beautiful front-end graphics, and an attention to detail into one of the best presentations of the late DOS age. Mechwarrior 2 led to one expansion (Ghost Bear's Legacy) and a stand-alone semi-sequel (Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries), and the series still continues, with an all-new game simply entitled Mechwarrior to be released soon. To this day, Mechwarrior 2 is still played in multiplayer by its many fans.

Mechwarrior 2 deserve a remaster
it needs a remake rather than remaster-- there's nothing to remaster here.. there's all of 12 polygons on a model here
Absolutely, id gladly pay $20 for a full remaster that adds all the updates Mercs added with modern PC support
Yes more like a Rework on the modern engine but I whole heartedly agree
A remake that isn't half arsed would be so amazing & leave the audio alone just use the original audio untouched. Except for the projectiles & explosions, those could use some modern sounds but the beeps, music & voice are better than they would make nowadays.
Agreed
I literally haven't seen these screens for 25 years. So great. This really was a Mech Simulator.
Some of these rooms would crash on my windows 95 pc, never got to see them until now
I loved this game.
@@MuffinMan0521I was super young when I played this game and I was absolutely mind blown at that time.
The intro FMV is burned into my permanent memories.
Man, this brings back the memories.
Yeah, like the journeyman project and silent steel
The soundtrack for this game is an absolute all-timer. One of the most atmospheric and immersive OSTs I've ever heard.
This just reminded me how for the Titanium Trilogy, you could pop the game discs into a CD player and play the soundtrack.
It still gives me the chills
For its time, this was as close to perfect as a game could be.
For the time this came out it was so far ahead of anything else, night vison, customizable load outs, voice acting, weapon selection, story line this game is so underrated.
Actually once you start to dive into a lot of old games, you learn just how much the game industry prefers you forget about so they can call it "new" and "innovative".
This was also a different time for Activision. Now they are focused on Call of Duty.
This was one of the best games from my childhood
Part of it is that the first game to do something usually doesn't do it very well, so a later game that does it better becomes known for that feature. That's the nature of innovation.
God Bless the Makers oif this game because when I played this it gave me so much joy and I was so impressed with it's tech.. Voice computer etc.. Outstanding.
It really was one of the first truly immersive AAA titles, along with Command & Conquer and such. Glad to see it still gets love even after 20+ years.
spent hours reading the library (edit *Archive)
@@L1011Widebody Funny to see you post a clip of one of my fav games of my childhood, and your username is L-1011! I just got done working in Kansas City (MCI) and there was a tristar parked out back. Functional, too!
The creators of this game are the makers of Battletech tabletop game. Mechwarrior belongs to Battletech universe. In 2018 they made a wonderful revamp of the tabletop game. I advise to buy it and play it.
Don't make them like this anymore
I play this game 25 years ago and still remember this track: 30:30 man this game had an amazing soundtrack
the soundtrack is unbelievably good.
Pyre Light. Always reminded me when venture into unknown yet suspense air and aura.
1:06:00 That track was so good too.
"If you are victorious, so be it. The clan will be better by having a new and competent MechWarrior. If you are not, the death of the incompetent is the death of a feeble prodigy and a testament to our glorious method."
That sounds so cool!
I'm so glad you rolled with a Timber Wolf.
Wouldn't feel right to not have a Timber Wolf in clan Wolf.
@@jayive34such a cool design
That would be a Madcat, right? Timberwolf was the Clanner scum variant?
Its the only way to play as Clan Wolf
@@AmanOU2be The Timber Wolf was built by Clan Wolf, the innersphere called it a madcat because they didn't know what it was when they first saw it in combat, so they called it a Mad-Cat a blend of Murader and Catapult
I should remember this line at work.
Well done welp. You have successfully displayed the ability to do what I tell you to do. I like that. My dog does what I tell it to do. I like my dog. I should introduce you to each other. Remind me to do that.
I loved that guy. He has a good dog!
The instructor for cadet training is so damn awesome.
The part where he said "congratulations mech warrior" was so satisfying because he constantly insults you the entire time and you finally gain his acceptance in the end.
To think that this is still the only game in Mechwarrior history where you can actually play as The Clans rather than the Sphere.
It's strange how fast this all came back to me. It has been over 20 years since I played this game, but the music of the intro alone was enough to have me speaking right along with it. "HQ, this is Alpha Assault, I'm on my way..."
...bearing zero - two : five
the music was brilliant, i still remember the first time i worked out the music would play in a regular cd player. Mum even liked some of the music
Oh man I used to love playing this game at my grandparents' house, grandpa loved computer games. But, I was a stupid kid and constantly died. It was just run to run around the field. I remember thinking that the graphics were SO cool.
Your grandpa earned his Bloodname.
Mailman2310 At least you tried. I believe you had one cool grandfather. My grandfather was always
busy with Mowing the Back Lawn, or things in his office. I had to find ways to keep myself occupied for fun.
Don't get me wrong though we both did. When I was a young boy, he was fond of me. He'd always smile
real big and say, "Come over 'ere,
and sit on your ol' Papaw's Lap." When Mom was there with us it kinda made her laugh. He'd even tell
me some Salty Jokes over the Phone. He first told me about a story about his involvement with the
Wampas Cat. He was telling me they all lived in an old cabin when he was little. Thunder was clapping
outside when they all started hearing something cluttering around in the Attic. Soon enough they
were hearing it again. And the Window was open. He said to them he heard something outside the
window. An older man in the family grinned and said, "How about taking a look out the Window?" Well,
when he did, he didn't see anything. But then something grabbed a tuft of his hair and like to pulled it
out. Anyways, Papaw pulled his head back in the Cabin and shut the Window as fast as he could.
He then said, "So, with that story told, do you know what a Wampas Cat is?" I was like, "Nah. What is
a Wampas Cat?" He said "Right now you're too young to know." I kinda thought he was pulling my leg.
He said, "Tell you what, I'll tell you sometime when you're older." I agreed. He eventually called mom and
talked with her a bit years later, he ended up wanting to talk to me after that. He asked me how old I was.
and I told him. And he said, "Remember I was gonna tell you what a Wampas Cat is?" And I was like
"Yep I remember." He said now that you're old enough, I'll tell you. You ready?" I said "Sure papaw."
He said,
"It's a Black Cat with a White Ass!"
I heard his wife yell out "Bill, don't tell him that!" He was Laughing out loud.
Boy I was also.
I also remember Mom was on the Phone with him. An outside Cat we tamed, and named Buster was
clawing up the Place Mat where we'd wipe the mud from our shoes. She said hold that thought a
second or two, the cat outside is sharpening his claws on the place mat." She yelled at the door,
"Buster! Quit that!" And her dad said when she put the Phone back to her face, Papaw said , "Listen, Listen!
Cat's a Pissin'!" Mom burst into laughter saying, "DAD!"
Gosh, Papaw was so funny! LOL!
May I ask if your grandpa was a vet?
Ah. A core memory has been unlocked. The sound of choosing the Clans, with their respective roars, is embedded deep in my psyche.
This brings back so many memories! I can't remember which mission it was, but there was a very difficult one (one of the later missions, I guess) that I couldn't quite beat. I tried over and over. Finally, I played it and defeated all of the enemies and survived! Unfortunately, one of my legs had been blown off and I didn't have jump jets, this wouldn't have been a problem, but I had to reach an end point to complete the mission. In frustration, I swing my joystick back and forth a few times... I noticed that this caused the mech to lurch forward slightly. Excited, and with desperate hope, I continued to swing the joystick back and forth over and over again for about 20 minutes. I finally limped into the ending zone (whatever it was) and got the mission successful notification! I was so happy!
Seriously, this was a great game, possibly the best of the Battletech/Mechwarrior series that I've played. I think my favorite was the Timber Wolf, and I would customize its weapons to have a bunch of LRM-5s and some medium pulses. The lock-on feature of the LRMs in this game was spot on, and much better than later games (in which it was nearly impossible to get a lock). Ah, nostalgia!
If I had to guess, it probably would have been the mission on Zoetemeer where you had to inspect/destroy the cryo plasma converter. That one was a bitch to do legit.
the female voice overs and music in this game were 10/10 , and when your mech was getting hit you could FEEL the impact
30:00 my favourite memory of this game
I wonder why so many people instinctively chose the Wolf campaign first?
Such a fantastic musical score.
Same! The bootup voice/sounds combined with that song is burned into my memory forever.
@@L1011Widebody Because a wolf is cooler than a falcon to most kids. Not to mention the music track was amazing.
Because the cartoon told us the Falcons were the bad guys
My friends and I were obsessed with this game in our early 20's.
I was 7 when this released and it was by far my favorite game at the time. Granted I wasn't great at it but I still had a blast and fell in love with the Timber Wolf let alone Clan Wolf since.
Hell even had fun playing Battletech for Sega Genesis which had the iconic mech. Then again might be due to the fact it felt like Desert Strike, Urban Strike and so forth.
I always loved the lack of contractions as per the game lore in the training officer's voice lines.
The training officer's first lines of dialogue in the first training mission are filled with contractions: "No you _wouldn't_ even think of upsetting me in my home, would you? Of course you _wouldn't_ . So do what I say when I say and I _won't_ get upset. I do bad things when _I'm_ upset." However, after that, the contractions completely disappear. I can only assume this is an intentional act of disrespect to put the complete neophyte who probably thinks himself some fancy ristar in his place. (Or just the script messed up, but I think my take is more fun.)
No mechwarrior title has had the same wonderful immersion as this one had - granted, the game has not aged well graphically, I still love the voice of Bitching Betty.
Probably the greatest game soundtrack of all time
Man those chords are awesome
the music in this game is the best. Recently got back into the battletech miniatures and had the sound track playing while I was painting every thing up!
"Reactors - Online. Sensors - Online. Weapons - Online. All Systems - Nominal."
This game brings back memories when I use to play it back in the day when I was 10. Those were the good days.
So many wonderful memories are rushing back to me actually have a butterflies in my stomach such an amazing time in the gaming industry back then. Wow just wow
Great memories. I've played every Mechwarrior including the OG Battletech on my Commodore 128D I bought in the Nuremberg PX while I was stationed in Erlangen West Germany back in late 80s.
nostalgia is smacking me in the face
chitterlingsrtasty ...critical hit?
I remember that in 1994 there was nothing like this game. Nothing could compare to it. I played it so much, even the demo I played dozens of times (even if locked my computer after each time the stage ended).
Gotta love the opening centimatic, shoots first summoner with ppcs 2nd summoner I'll just use my machine guns
Sweet child memories! This game was so awesome and so hard. But the most cool part was the book that came with the game. Codes and procedures of warrior castle. Still remember fake fingerprints on the pages and pictures of all mechs. So cool!
Oooooh my god man, so many memories!
Oh what a simple life as a kid. I freaking LOVED this game and Heavy Gear.
Adulting sucks lol...
Wow some of the game music is freaking cool!
Unbelievable. So many memories rushing back... what a treat. I used to play this game with my dad on our first ever computer at home. Thank you for uploading.
The memories. Sigh... that soundtrack is still amazing.
It still holds up, I will always love that music.
I was like 8 when this game came out. I freaking loved it.
I had forgotten how awesome the music was. The music, and the sound design in general, is actually really good, especially for the time.
I like how Mechwarrior 2's CGI becomes Mechwarrior 3's graphics quality
absolutely awesome! Thanks for posting. LOVE this game. I used to replay the game SO many times. Nothing like it.. one of the best soundtracks EVER created! Immersion and engagement on this game is great too! way ahead of its time! Someone PLEASE remaster this game!
This game has best audio, the music, sounds, atmosphere, even complexity of controling the mech was great. I used to play it with a friend on lonely nights at home. One handling yoystick and other keyboard. I had the best times! The friend nigjtmares hehehehe
I still think this game has some of the best sound effects and music to this day.
Just went thru my old CD's. I have this and Ghostbear's Legacy. - NOSTALGIA!!!
holy shit the nostalgia at 30:02 hit me hard. I loved throwing the game disc in a cd player and listening to it.
Masterpiece of it’s era.
Of all the games I've missed, I miss Mechwarrior 2 the most.
This was the first game I ever played. Huge hit of nostalgia 😅
How nostalgic. played this game on the family pc with my old man
My jaw dropped instantly watching this again after all these years. Thanks for the upload.
Thanku for the upload, even more so for the memories returned 👍 childhood restored bro.
Such memories! I still remember the mech lineup by heart. What great music and voice work!
I thought this was THE COOLEST game ever when I played this at 8 years old!
love that song when you get dropped off on the first mission in the desert
Boy I played this game and I never knew you could customize your mech, you did it like a champ.
The cockpit might have only been 10 polygons, but buy, did it feel like you were sitting in a mech. I'm so glad this was a part of my early PC gaming days. It was Mechwarrior 2 and Diablo for days.
still got the disk
I do not remember the graphics looking like this lmao
We had a great imagination back in the 80's and 90's. We had to with graphics like this.
@@heroictesticles6870 LOL, you're not lying
It depends on the version you had. This looks like the DOS version which had flat shaded graphics but a fairly impressive dynamic lighting engine. The Windows version had texture mapped graphics with a simplified dynamic lighting engine.
www.sarna.net/news/did-you-know-retro-battletech-games-mechwarrior-2-31st-century-combat/
I had the "Rage" Edition and it looked different than this too. The shading on the objects was much better. The game came with a new PC my Dad bought which featured an ATI Rage 3D Accelerator chip.
In my memory, this game looked then like Mechwarrior Online does now.
The visual coordinator for the intros and menus for this game really did an amazing job. The game could only look so good, but all of those menu visuals really let you know WHAT you are actually supposed to be piloting. Cheers!
OMGGGGGGGG I remember when I played it 1998!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I had a S3 virge version, so unplayable in any other video card of that time!!!... where the time has gone?????????
Fuck time is cruel I feel so damn old...
I wish they would remaster these old mechwarrior games
the graphics, gameplay and music/sound is awesome. so many memories, this game and MYST
I love how the intro still looks better than most games released today. Still got the CD.
How does this game have more detailed and mech specific targeting info than MWO?
"auto pilot engaged" "auto pilot DISABLED"
You really captured the soundtrack with good quality! Also wanted to mention not only was this game a classic but one the first to eventually use hardware T&L!
30:05 oh yes, that's the jam that always gets me on the dancefloor!
0:44 I remember putting it over and over again just to see and hear this part lol. When you were a kid that was epic.
Ah, the game that introduced me to Battletech, and the Marauder.
Good lord that Mad Cat, the most iconic mech ever created.
Still the best Mechwarrior game ever made.
I like Mechwarrior 3 the most, it was basically MW2 with accelerated graphics.
Oh lovely memories…. Not seen this for like 25 years…
Still have some of the battletech books from that time, too.
It’s such a rich and detailed universe.
Back when seeing Activision in the titles was a sign of good things to come
L-1011 WIDEBODY I have to say it... That was an excellent play through of Clan Wolf.
You also earned your blood name as the New Khan. Excellent work.
Thank you very much! I really worked hard to make this playthrough look great and cinematic and everything. I do great work, quiaff?
@@L1011Widebody yes, you do. I admit it's harder than it looks when it isn't PlayStation Format.
Although, I played some missions that were so difficult that I didn't escape, sometimes. The
controls were also different in the PlayStation Format, with 8 different Settings in the Controls.
I always had to pick Setting 7 to at least activate the Torso Twist, Jump Jets, and make it easier
to pilot whatever Mech I chose to enter Battle.
@@L1011Widebody Out of curiosity, do you have a Favorite Soundtrack in Mechwarrior 2 : 31st century combat?
My favorite is "Pyre Light."
Oh gosh do I have to choose? I admit Pyre Light has a special place in my heart because it's the first mission song, the one that brings me right back to my childhood immediately... Arkham Bridge is a really rocking song, with all the intensity and urgency of the strings playing into that mission. The soundtrack was just done so very well and really showed the love and care the developers had for the lore, and the setting, and making things feel great. Iron Piston is definitely a standout track, it is like the Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) of MechWarrior, it's got a great heavy metal feel to it without using the traditional heavy metal instruments.
But if I had to pick one favorite, it would definitely absolutely be Armor Veil. It's a fantastic track, the snare conveys that sense of military urgency, but the minor key strings really project a feeling of loneliness, that you are out there in the cold snowy blizzard with no one else to depend on. The horns are an excellent touch, it gives it a real feel of a long, grueling, arduous journey. The feeling of a long, arduous hunt, the wolf tracking his prey through the cold, the snowy elements, steadfastly for hours. The symphony crashes are perfectly timed, hinting that at any time you might encounter an enemy, waiting to attack you. The part about 1:10 brings to mind the battle of man against nature, you can really imagine it playing over a movie scene of a sled-dog team struggling to bring those desperately needed medical supplies to that lonely outpost before the people die. The long sweeping strings really encapture the feeling of a long and brutal endeavor. The strings shift to a more urgent tone at 1:37, suggesting you are almost there, that you are just about to save the day, just a bit further. When the backing instruments withdraw at 1:49, it gives that glimmer of hope, that this is the last hill we have to climb, that there really is only one more trial to endure. And the resulting buildup, the striking, heavy percussion, just conjures the image of the weary trooper, the tired ranger, collapsing from exhaustion at the doorstep of the cabin. Finally, now, he is able to rest, sure that he has done his job and saved everything. It's really just a fantastic track, I think I said that already?
@@L1011Widebody I think you're right. It's all suspenseful until the mission is a success. This
would be why it's so exciting. So, I'll say my other favorites... Cold Crescent because of the "Hit and Run Tactic"
needed to Destroy the Main Terraformer Unit Core, and get out before the Temperature Spike is Detected,
and the blast takes you with it. Velvet Hammer, being an Offensive Tactic to Protect Josel Fetlandral, the Aide de Camp while his Hover Limousine heads to the Opera Plex. Pyre Light, Since it's like an Arid Desert with Sandstorms. It may explain why the Wolf's Dragoons' mission was Scrubbed before they could go in and destroy the Fuel Pumping Station.
one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time...I still have the CD
Grew up on this shit... miss these days!!!
I remember getting this with the sidewinder joystick! Man I loved this game so much.
This series was fantastic, and this was the game that sucked me into the MW universe.
This was a Saturday night for me as a kid.
Man the music is still so incredible. I still have my Sidewinder pro that came bundled with Mech 2!. I might still have Mech 2 somewhere not sure.
best sound track, best betty, best MW game.
I believe this came bundled with my Matrox Mystique back in the day (mid 90s). Good memories.
1:42:25 - Wow, I don't remember the time of day changing in this game. It really was ahead of its time.
2:22:45 is my absolute favourite mission. It blew my mind as a kid that I could get away with this ruse.
It is really great, the attention to detail and depth of the scripting for the MechWarrior 2 missions, quiaff?
@@L1011Widebody Aff!
Oh man this gives me such nostalgia
Ah man, this was one of my favorite games when I was about 8-10 years old. I always played Jade Falcon, didn't know the story line, just thought the falcons were bad as!
I used to play this all the time! My favorite Mechs were Marauder, Timberwolf, Mad Dog, and Summoner
One of the best games of my childhood
Best video on the subject
Dude, I love this game. "Reactor online, sensors online, weapons online. All systems nominal."
I forgot just how visually stunning this game was.
Pyre Light is one of the best songs for a game ever written.
I loved this game so much and I hope they release it on steam and some of the originals too.
Still have my original copies of Mechwarrior 2, Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, Mechwarrior 2: Clan Ghost Bear. Those Plus Mechwarrior 3, Mechwarrior 3: Prirate moon, Mechwarrior 4, Mechwarrior 4: Black Knight, Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries, and the two mech expansions for 4. It has been difficult sometimes keeping them running on modern hardware, but I am happy to say it has been worth it.
It was the game that make you feel how BIG and SLOW this mechs. You have time to think about strategy and time to react. Great 3D, clean and simple. Really the Mech Simulator, not just arcade pew-pew shooter.
man i play this on the IBM ativa pc when it first came out with a video card and nice sounding speakers on win95 and they included this game , was addicted to it
*I like my dog.*
Thank you, commander. Necessary information.
Oh, those pesky tritiary targets. I used to relentlessly pursue them. Sadly, I don't remember them really helping you all that much. Although, it was a nice ego boost, knowing that you took them out. 😉😎🤘☮
Maybe my favorite Mechwarrior. Mechwarrior 4 was also a lot of fun because I figured out that with the hardpoint system in place of internal space, you could mount 3 LBX-AC20s in a Daishi. That mech remains the most powerful close range combatant that I've ever played. The usual issue in an assault mech of a light mech pecking away at you just stopped...watching an enemy Jenner just die was immensely satisfying.
