Hey there! Did you know there are some EXTRA TRACKS by the composers that have never before seen the light of day on TH-cam? You can find them in the newly updated playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLA76F00C57E120D05.html And also in this specifically-created new playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLAttudMji90fvgfbhvLQMEaWDlwWPvOxx.html Special thanks to the composer and writer Heinz Schuller for sharing these tracks with us!
@@JoeMoment thanks, i mainly got introduced to mechwarrior and battle tek from mechassault on my og xbox which i sti have, good shit also ppc sound there was pretty good
@Commander Graham I think I prefer the MW3 PPC over MW4. In MW3 it really looked like a particle being shot out of a cannon, MW4 looked more like a shot of lightning.
Overconfident Owens Pilot: "You have violated a Halloran Protectorate outpost! You are ordered to power down and surrender your 'mechs!" Spectre: "Spunky little fella, don't ya think?"
+Stuart Ramsay back then game dev1: what do people like in games? dev2: violence! dev3: mechs! dev4: EXPLOSIONS! Nowadays Dev1: how will we draw more people to buy our games? dev2: addictive game play! dev3: dlc! dev4: Micro transactions!!
+Spartan War118 You made a mistake with your "nowadays" version. Nowadays, it's not the _devs_ who have the say, but the _publishers_ they work with. Publishers like EA are infamous for their use of *think tanks* to decide what gamers "want". Technically, and sorrowfully, this is the way it has always been for media like movies and games: in order to get the resources to fund and market your idea, you have to sell it to someone with those resources. And once you do, that idea is no longer yours to control.
Like what? Cool to look at but filled with completely useless shit AI so you basically win fights on your own that are only hard because of how many enemies there are? MW4 was best when mektek was doing the multiplayer. It was never that good on its own.
Such good memories from this song. the slow sway of your mech as you move forward. the dakka as you fired an autocannon, the bitching betty telling you "enemy mech destroyed". Oh man...
Petko Fuchalksi MechWarrior and MechWarrior 2 don't need much, they could set up an automatic DOSBox executable so you don't have to type up the commands every time. (Windows and Titanium editions suck) MechWarrior 3 needs *a lot* of work to get the compatibility right, locking the framerate at 60 (otherwise vehicles will bounce into the mesosphere, jumpjets don't work and your 'mech might even bounce into the air and glide around as if it were a land-air-mech), fixing this weird slow/fast issues, etc. MechWarrior 4 doesn't need much, they'll straight up install and play from 98 up to Windows 7
Always love the lbx 40 builds on anything, so funny... Bang, you're cored..........wait for it...Vvv...Bang, you're cored.......oh shit is that a Atla- never mind it's cored.
I ran that build while one of my metal playlists was playing. Specifically it got to Kalmah's "To The Gallows", which lined up perfectly with the refire of the LBX20s. It was awesome. :D
They do not want to put music in game because it will mask all the important noises and such. However if you really like music they did point you to use 3rd party stuff (ie youtube).
+R4V3-0N My solution is to make two playlists, one for menu another for in-game and use your keyboard's media player keys to play/pause. I even alt-tab quickly (thanks to fullscreen-window) and play victory/defeat themes.
R4V3-0N Shame. I discovered mine works and used it ever since. They may be their own dedicated buttons or the F1 through F12 keys might have media player commands by holding a function key.
***** Well since you mention it this specific keyboard here has a | ||. stop, and >>| ley in f5 to F8, but sadly this isn't the keyboard I use for gaming, it's for the other PC. the one at my pc doesn't have that... even then how do I use the media player? DO I Have to download it?
My 2 favorite builds: Nova cat with 4 ERPPCs - Particle Projector Cannons are great at projecting targets into the ground Daishi with as many UAC5s as I can stuff on it - Great rate of fire, range, and good damage. Has the same DPS as a light gauss firing every single second.
No Peter, we're both the hammer and anvil against that bloody OVERLORD DROPSHIP. Now move yer sorry assault mechs onto it's line of fire cause my battered lance is already shooting!
@jaw1024 Isn't that one of the 2-3 missions featured in the game's demo? That's why I remember it so well, Search and Destroy was just run and gun, MechWarrior style :D
@CptPakundo Ofcourse the mission was in the full game, I mentioned it was in the demo because up until recently, the demos of MechWarrior games was all I played, until recently I discovered I can play the full versions of games I was limited to their demos in my childhood, this game included, although I don't regret fully playing it, it is so awesome.
@@gabriellentz2516 I was just...disappointed. with Mech 5. The AI was dumb, the voice acting was TERRABLE, and the movement just felt so less fluid then 4. The Mechs leaned into turns, had their feet underneath the center of gravity when they ran, and the Hud actually did things.
@@BladeLigerV Yeah, I noticed that too. Mechwarrior 5 is still a good game, and I definitely enjoyed it, but it doesn't hold a candle to what came before it
jesus christ, this is like the most absolutely perfect music for this game there's only a few times when the in-game music has set my heart a flutter when it comes on, and this is one of those songs
This brings back memories I’m very fond of. Joystick fresh out of the box, slapping this puppy in the desktop and hopping in the Templar absolutely brutalizing everything. I still remember the slide show and music as you installed it. Sad that we will never get the love that was pumped into the battle tek/Mech warrior franchise we used to get.
Yes, it is one of the starting missions and it was also on the demo. I ran that mission alone a hole bunch of times to test out light and medium mech configurations and I was able to win most of the time without taking much damage... or taking heavy damage but surviving, depending if the config was good or bad xD
I love daisy, it is a monster truck and its as murderous as hell if you know how to use it... if you are good at keeping your target and very fast you can play funny with the flee without getting hit, shoot them in the back and stay behind them xD I used to jump around on buildings with the Uziel and in some maps reaching the highest buildings rooftop. If you are good at jumping you can take out an entire army while running, jumping on building roofs....and being alone. :D KILLING SPREE xD
I hate living in this time period. They will never make a game like this again. I honestly don't know what to do with my life anymore. Everything that comes out now SUCKS. It used to be so much better....
The air field could just have been painted with natural colors. Your unit uses SatCom to survey the battlefield before deploying and a camoflauged airfield would be hard to see from orbit.

Zach Rich yeah
I ran that build while one of my metal playlists was playing. Specifically it got to Kalmah's "To The Gallows", which lined up perfectly with the refire of the LBX20s. It was awesome. :D
I remember for the Solaris 7 Grand Championship I ran quad LB10s, and to this day that same FNR-5 build is what I use in MWO.
Anyone remember ER LLAS chain-firing on a Nova Cat? Man that was some annoying bullshit in multiplayer, but it was hilarious.
Airfield?! There wasn't anything in the briefing about an airfield!
oof that mission...
I was raised on this game.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
I will forever connect this song with that night-time jungle mission, whatever it's name was.
Ah, the good old days on New Exford, hunting the Jade Falcons in that godforsaken jungle. Good times.
those damn land mines fucked me up every time
@@ruskibot7745 I played that mission so many damn times before I realized there were mines and I wasn't just getting randomly punked by Clanners.
If only MWO had anywhere near as kickass score as this classic...

Nothing in Mech 5 Mercs lives up to THIS theme!
"This is where we earn those paychecks, boys."
This, and the menu song from Mechwarrior 4 are my favorites.
I don't play Mechwarrior much anymore but I love listening to this while playing the RTS version.
Mech 5 is worth a look at

Ah, childhood...
"Choppers! It's like skeet shooting!"
Yeah, I remember I would always go back occasionally and replay the mission on instant action. Great times.
"I'll focus on the objective buldings, you focus on enemy combat units, copy?"

Played the mech games since I was a kid - I am never, ever going to forget that line.
the best game series in the old days of the Xbox Original! the mech games are awesome
(< has never played MW,other than MWO..don't like it much..controls too wonky..only played Mechassault 1 when was young..loved the heck out of it)
You are my kind of person. Ain't nothing better than big old Atlas.
Gloky r u sure bout dat?
*Headbanging Intesnifes*
it'd be awesome if the mechwarrior games 1-4 could all get a reboot
When you've heard the mechwarrior 5 OST and went back to this
For real. MW5's dad rock was such a turnoff. MW4 did guitars right.
Tbh this game is a little better than MechWarrior 5, I feel like you have more options and more freedom with this game than MechWarrior 5.

The whole industrial feel of the universe, just like the factory arena on Solaris
PPC- Particle Projector Cannon :3
FTW!
Fuck yeah PPC, the man-made lightning.
ERPPC with capacitor and Recycler
Because who doesn't love firing PPC's every 3 seconds?
Ritzy Indeed, especially if you have 2 of them.
If Behemoths is the assault mech theme, this is your speedy little Light Mech theme. Hit fast, hit hard, let nothing escape

Listening to this in my car with full bass.. Sounds and feels like I got an assault mech next to me
MW5 got alright tunes but Hunter is WAY better still.
Hunter Epic
"Not looking good Wu Kang. You better punch out."
Love this one.
There was a remix of this called hunter sidereel, does any one know where I could find this version because it seems to have been removed from TH-cam.
Yes, it is one of the starting missions and it was also on the demo.

You are a saint.
When you're so busy shooting at hostile mechs that you just start running over the enemy tanks as to not waste your time on them.
READY OP!

Always preferred heavy over assault. My timber wolf always kept up with assaults good enough in fights for me :D

Does anyone aware what guitar distortion pedal or amp setup could've been used for this record?
Could be any number of actual amps or pedal/fx board combinations, but I feel like a classic Peavey 5150 is a good place to start

@MsGunMetal ?
BlackJack: "Aaawwwright!!"
Spunky little fella, don't you think?
Dude. Assault lance vs Assault lance. Always a good time
How the hell do you camoflauge an airfield?
You put leaves all over it and a sign that reads 'definitely NOT an airfield'.
The air field could just have been painted with natural colors. Your unit uses SatCom to survey the battlefield before deploying and a camoflauged airfield would be hard to see from orbit.
