About the channel:
I am a Infantryman with several years of Arma and real-life tactical experience. I am not an expert in any way, but I know a thing or two and play with my clan several nights a week where I like to help future military, and regular joes refine tactical skills and have fun!
As an experienced mechwarrior myself i support your message! Lets get this game in the eyes of the public as much as possible!! Lets hope the franchise stays alive !
You should really try the other DLC asside from Heros of the inner sphere. Heroes got the ball rolling, but Kestrel Lancers and call to arms brought it home.
And there's a new DLC coming out on January 26th.
The base game is kinda poopy, but the community and the care the team put into the game shows. It's come a very long way, plus it helps that the base game play is fun as hell.
New DLC? I hope it's Clan-related, I _really_ wanna turn some Clanners into pasta sauce.
It's about Rasalhague and it'll add the Crusader.
Yes! So I actually have played Kestrel Lancers on an older save and it was everything I wanted.
Here’s the sad thing though…
I plan Clans almost exclusively. I would even go to say I kinda root for them (mainly just Ghost Bear) as I learn more about the lore daily. But I’ll always remember what happened in 3052.
ill -Clan looks interesting though!
Rise looks to be a good DLC in the works but I just hope Kestrel wasn’t the peak.
The Yet Another Mech Lab (YAML) mods are the ones I use and they REALLY expand the gameplay experience in a huge way for me. I’m constantly stumbling on to new mech builds that surprise me.
Mechwarrior 4 had an amazing looking Mad Dog. I always love the almost ball turret styled nose gun.
The black pants legion is a amazing channel. Awesome shout out.
As someone who recently got into this franchise, can confirm its a huge bop! And there is *SO. MUCH.* lore :)
I can't belive how great and under rated it is. I'm too a new player, I did play mw2 in my youth. But i was too young to really appreciate how great these games are including lore. I bought base plus all 4 dlc's past week to help support, can't wait for mw6 which was confirmed in an interview with ceo not long back
I’m in the same boat. But a suggestion to anyone planning on getting it if they hadn’t. Get it on Steam! If you get it via Gamepass, mods will be a PIA to install.
But I feel ya on this. Played it when it first came out and madly disappointed since there was no Clan invasion. But got back into it after the first few updates and hadn’t stopped since.
1. So Devs can get more money to make the DLC we actually asked for.
Even the "vanilla" game has improved drastically since launch, and the DLC is cheap enough these days (esp if you catch it on sale) that it's worthwhile. They've retconned the woeful writing that plagued the early parts of the main campaign, and the Kestrel Lancers mini-campaign is some of the best writing since probably MW3 with respect to creating some palpable tension and immersion. The Rasalhague expansion sounds like it's going to add some pretty cool post-campaign mechanics with the maybe-unknown-quantity of help or hindrance from other merc groups during drops. My hope is that with some of the new blood at PGI they'll start taking notes and canonizing some of what we've previously had to rely on mods to get (some of which has happened with quality of life revisions already). I mean a Clan invasion expansion is basically a license to print C-bills etc.
new content has been announced on bigred40k channel. rasalhague campaign, the crusader mech and improvements to the mech bay.
The day I post the video too! SUPER pumped to be even farther back in time contrary to my points. Only bc Rasalhague is a mystery to me.
I’ve never played tabletop so never got much into lore until I saw bpl, grim dark and big red recommended. Looking forward to finding out a bit more of their story seems like they’ve been very unfortunately positioned especially during the clan invasion
Great game...Been more into Mechwarrior Online lately. Big pvp guy.
YESSSSSSS!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 cannot wait for more people to play Mechwarrior 5 and have the community grow!
Tried to run the Mechwarrior Quadrology, and man getting these to run on modern keyboard and mouse controls is a PAIN. Mechwarrior 5 has spoiled me.
chose to try out clan invasion and it just so happend that i came across your video and u happen to be talking about clan invasion mod... downloading it right now and your hyping it up for me and cant wait to till the download is finished and try clan invasion.... love mechwarrior man mechwarrior 4 was the shit 5 is quickly getting up there for me
shit, i have the SeriesX-version...there are no Mods🙈but it looks really good...i hope they bring more stuff for this Game on Console🤗
Myself, I stopped using the Clan Invasion mod the moment Yet Another Clan Mech showed up
It was just too buggy for me right now, mainly with the hit convergence and Clint spam lol
More people just need to try battletech - that being said I'm dumb when learning the tabletop Gator
Check out Big Red 40k if you like BattleTech focused channels!!
without mods this game is really damn average, but the mods elevate it to a good game luckily
Merctech has clan stuff.
No mention of MWLL? Cooooooooooome onnnnnnnnnn!!! ;)
Great project and I enjoyed it a lot back in it’s prime! Hopefully they revive it some day.
@@zacktactical7128 Development continues to this day. 0.15.4 and climbing. Peak server hours are a bit hit and miss, but we regularly have some great games going.
hey man, any chance for you to list the mods you are using?
Sorry for the late reply! This video was pre-Dlc4 so a lot of the mods are incomparable now.
But ones I’m using now are:
Coyote Mission Pack
YAML (including equipment and clan)
Classic Mech Collection
VonHud
Mech Dropship Support
Yet another Clan Invasion (from Nexus mods)
@@zacktactical7128 Thanks!
So, pointless to get on console because of not being able to use mods like on PC?
I wouldn’t say pointless, but lacking very much on many quality of life improvements.
I’d try it out on console for sure before deciding.
No this game is crap without mods and depending on the update it will brake the mods. The game is really unplayable without mods.
The worst thing is this is a big wasted opportunity but even with a discord channel for the community they refused to listen which is why there is need for so many mods.
For many things that are bad in the game and that make the game bad it seems like it could be fixed easily but Piranha games simply refuses to do so. For instance the spawn locations of enemies, they used to always spawn in your back (actually I don't remember if this was only fixed in a mod) but even from a design perspective this was a terrible decision. It would have been a lot more fun (because less frustrating backshots) , more realistic and easier to make it more immersive: Instead of the commander saying "enemies are comming your way" she could instead say something like " are approaching your position from , ETA "
Then there is senseless stuff like a weight limit for your missions, this only makes managing active mechs more difficult for no reason at all. Who would hire mercenaries for a job and then limit their deployment without reason and thereby endangering the success of the mission?
Even forcing the player to run through the dropship after each mission is just stupid, the 3D engine inside the drop ship fully supports invoking motion sickness, the actual game engine does not. Skipping to stations is possible but talking to characters still requires to walk inside the ship and without doing so the story does not proceed.
I am pretty sure that not all required mods are available for the EPIC version anymore but for the Steam version.
The story of the game was stupid in the initial version and got worse with the revision. The intro is shown in game graphic sequences but it is really bad, the Mechwarrior Online promo videos are far better.
Very solid points overall, honestly sums up most of my initial thoughts back on release. I took a very long break from the game and after I noticed so many great mods out there I had to get back into it and spread the word.
At the end of the day as long as fans *can* have fun in the game I love spreading the word to get it. Sadly I do not share the same sentiment as a lot of fans regarding the hate of Piranha Games. I guess I’m too casual to be that angry about the franchise. But it’s always good to hear input from everyone so thank you!
Yeah this game is garbage. I played 2 hours and uninstalled this joke of a game. Really pisses me off we got this instead of Mechwarrior online 2 in the unreal engine 5.
mfw nothing about Mechwarrior Living Legends v.v
Really enjoyed living legends back in the day! I heard they may be trying to revive it soon. Here’s hoping.
Clan mechs are for sissies
This calls for a Trial of Refusal
@@zacktactical7128 No but seriously. As an old fart who has been playing BattleTech since the 90's, Clan mechs kinda screwed things up for the game. When you played Inner Sphere you had to make decisions. You had to make compromises. Choosing to add a large laser instead of a medium had *consequences* because you probably had to reduce armor or make some other concession to fit it.
With clan mechs you just slap on XL engines, ES, FF, max armor, DHS and all the guns you want. Hell, throw MASC on too, cuz you probably still have tonnage. There's no real consequence to your choices besides min/maxing DPS and Alpha damage.
Now don't get me wrong. I get the sandbox fun of just being able to play anything on any 'mech, and making a 16 ERML DireWolf that can hit 120kph and continuously fire without heat issues is just good brainless fun. But there is no denying that Clans are playing on easy mode.
You know, like for sissies. :D (Ok, I'll get off my boomer soapbox now.... Need to get back to playing modded MW5)
This game sucks. There are only 5 missions and you just repeat them endlessly in the same bland environments. Enemy ai is horrible and the money management aspect ruins the game.
Great reason to get it on Steam and use all the mods I do! Vanilla game is yes in fact trash. Mods improve QOL for difficulty/AI/general quests.
The heroes of the Inner sphere DLC should be free at a minimum to add some level of quests to the game. Very sad this did not ship with a actually good story.
this game is aggressively boring. go outside.
Sorry you don’t like it. Go to the gym
game sucks even with mods
