@@MorroTreece Mech Warrior 2 is the first game I can remember playing. For me, a very impressive and formative game in my childhood. But I'm skeptical that MechWarrior 5: Clans is going to be any good.
@@alextylergaming2320 I know this is 5 months later, but I just want to chime in and say that I think this is the right move since MW5 already has an extensive selection of Clan Mechs and weapons from mods. So making a new game with a clan perspective and vanilla clan mechs is going to be so awesome.
As someone who started with the original Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, I'm so glad to return to a Mechwarrior game where we refer to mechs by their clan names and not the Inner Sphere ones. It will always be a Timber Wolf to me first, Mad Cat second.
@@octoslut Why would you is a better question. He likes the cleaner name over the IS name. So do I. We love battletech a lot and to us its "deep". If it's not that deep to you then cool. We don't need to know that.

Agreed! Battlemechs use what are essentially artificial muscle fibers that contract and expand to move, so it makes sense that it should feel at least somewhat organic. It's the utilitarian, tanky aesthetic of Western mecha combined with the fluid and precise motion of Eastern mecha.
I love the fluidity of the movement and crispness of the sound in the actuators of that Timber Wolf. How it conveys perfectly that it's a cut above the jerryrigged mechs of the Inner Sphere
Mechwarrior 2 was one of the first pc games i ever bought. Seeing that ending with the classic box cover remade, gave me the member berries!! Good job!
I may be in the minority here, but playing as the Smoke Jaguars sounds really interesting. Also, they fight the Combine, and Kurita always deserves to suffer.
I hope they focus more on story like with the latest MW5 DLCs, but unlike the initial launch of MW5. Hopefully they learned their lesson and knows we actually like the lore and story of the universe as much as we like the mechs.
@@squirreltakular9049 So far mercenaries has only involved pre clan invasion lore. The Campaign hints at a the coming invasion, but I haven't seen anything yet about what MW5 Clans is bringing to the table... ignoring the... I forgot what Clanners call the Mad Cat

There is so much content possible to come.. Clan Invasion is on the screen. Will the Battle of Tukkayid be part of it? The separation of Clan Wolf in Exile? The Rebith of the Star League? Operation Serpent? There is so much possible content and I'm not tired of playing this game every time.
Did you guys had anything to do with this? :) Either way it looks really smooth for PGI even if it is such a short animation. How it lands and slides a bit as it crushes the ground. Very nice little details. You can feel how heavy yet nible this thing is. edit: I love your work, keep it up and thank you for that not so little and awesome window you guys made to peer into the Battletech world.
I was 7 years old when i first got an origional xbox for christmas and i got the first mechassault game, that was my introduction to the mechwarrior universe and ever since then i have always wanted a game about the clan invasion so i can see if full top quality HD what a pack of timber wolves would look like as they charge and enemy position and overwhelm them with superior firepower and mobility, like an unstoppable wave of steel and lasers
things missing from this teaser 1, Polite Greeting - "Attention Somerset" 2, Name - "I am Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus of the Jade Falcon Clan" 3, Relevant info - "A Full Trinary stands ready to conquer your planet. What forces dare oppose us?"
I sincerely hope they listened to community feedback and focus on a story. Along with tweaking the mechanics for native HOTAS support. Mechs have to FEEL like they weigh 100 tons and stand 3 stories tall. Injecting a throwback to MW2 (arguably the best simulation Mechwarrior to date) is ballsy. Please do not disappoint.
Love the final video reference a Throwback to Mechwarrior 2 from back in the 90's I wanted that game so bad but couldn't afford a decent pc to play it.
Can't wait to know the release month, but more importantly I hope we have improvements across the board especially with AI, optimization, Mech roster, Mech customization, squad commands, weapon roster, being able to put equipment on any Mech, battles and maps being bigger with more enemies on a map, the ability to hotdrop or long walk, preplan missions, better lockon and radar, more allies outside of Mechs, actually being able to conquer territory, better and more interesting pilots that have personality we interact with where we also get to pick who we want, more destructability especially of dropships buildings starships etc, have aerotech fighter support and enemies, and more
ok this is PGI we are talking about. Pick one of those things you want improvements on, then expect the rest to come piece meal if your lucky in 20 dollar dlcs...
Takes place during the innersphere invasion (Mech 2 Mercs) which led to the refusal war (Mech 2 setting), has you piloting for Smoke Jaguar (who were originally going to be a major part of Mech 2) and the trailer has reference to 31st Century Combat’s box. It’s almost as if they started really giving a damn about this series.
Cool thing from the PC Gamer article: sounds like this might be a scene from the jungles of Huntress, the Smoke Jaguar homeworld, which is confirmed to be in the game. Also, the game will cover the battle for Luthien.
It'd be fun if they could put in cameos by all the various canon characters throughout the campaign storyline - Trent, Russou, Jez, Paul Moon, Brandon Howell, Sarah Weaver, Lincoln Osis, Leo Showers.
This is the Inner Sphere-thousands of planet colonized by humankind. Once it was united under the Star League, but for the last three hundred years it has been consumed by savage wars... until a new enemy appeared-mysterious invaders known as the Clans. Powerful and ruthless, they struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once. But they made one big mistake: they attacked my home planet! Now, in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited... and we're gonna take back our galaxy!”- Opening narrative (by Adam Steiner)
I gotta be honest, I have always enjoyed MechWarrior since I was little. But it was actually MechCommander that got me into the games and I probably would have even more fun if they came out with a new MechCommander.
Just please: let this game be about mech combat, not endless hordes of respawning tanks and helicopters. I played MW5 when it first came out and it was so cheap and dirty with the endless tiny enemies I came to hate the game. Only time I’ve ever said that about Mechwarrior since I fell in love with Mechwarrior 2 in 1995.
So this one is going to be more story focused? I actually loved some of the RNG/Procedural stuff in Mercenaries. Wouldn't mind if they were married, a more focused story with some of that stuff from Mercenaries on the side here and there. I was ultimately left wanting more of a story from Mercenaries... So looking forward to this
I'm stoked- finally a proper Broadsword dropship and command over a Star! Not even MechWarrior 2 allowed for command of a full Star. And Jaguars represent! Suck it Wolves and Falcons!
Love the throwback to MechWarrior 2. Would be amazing if you could do some new versions of songs from the MW2 soundtrack for this game. That OST was so iconic.

Embracing the past, without just trying to cash in on the nostalgia of it!! Excellent brief hyping trailer, awesome. Speaking of 'remakes'... that mechwarrior 3 intro 👀
A perfect Battletech lore twist would be going up against Mason at the very end as a boss battle with you fighting as a clan warrior. You get to call him out stating you knew his father’s past or cowardice to flee the clans or something bad ass like that. That would fit the lore and Battletech plot twists perfectly.
Timeline does not line up. This game begins in 3050 or so, Mason was in his 20s in 3015. His father left with the Dragoons decades before that presumably. And your character is a newly promoted Warrior (Clan Cadets typically graduate into the Warrior caste aged 18-20).
@@Ironknuckle100Mason would be in his 60s, and for most Mercs that beyond retirement age. A Clan Warrior usually ages out after 35 into a Solama unit. As a fresh recruit, in 3047, its extremely unlikely that the Smoke Jag protag would know anyone who was sent on the Dragoons mission, let alone something like Mason's father, which was implied to be an even ewriler scouting party
Man, I really liked that Mech 2 had - cadet training. The instructor was very cool and would be nice to see a different voiceover and character style for each clan, warden/invader in trials/training. I would like to see trials by blood in the story lines! Kahns etc. book lore. With all the freebirth extra detail to the blood splatter on the inside of the cockpit when the pilot inside pops. Cheers
I hope this is like the old Guild Wars games, each expansion was a stand alone game but they could all be used together on one account. I'm not expecting Piranha to do this, but it'd be cool if they make it a giant expansion for the MW5 that is already out. it'd be fun to have the clans come out of nowhere and you have to deal with it, or if you start a new game you can choose to be clanner scum and you invade (as they say in the description) as Smoke Jaguar.
Sadly…I don’t think they’ll be updating 5’s map anymore as I have a feeling this is UE5 and essentially a new game entirely. Hope to be wrong. Between yaml mods and current beta clan invasion mod though, I mean, I’ve been fighting clanners in game for while now 😂
Love the MW2 vibes !! Please bring the full B Betty this time with critical hits and immersion intros... Also like that the music will be similar to the one in MW2 🤘The more MW2 the better 💯
I love the callback to MechWarrior 2's box art at the end.
nice touch!
They know what they are doing.. lol that shit gave me nostalgia tingles.
Yeah that is so cool!
I still have my old box of MW2 laying around somewhere....
Too bad it'll suck compared to it.
when the targeting computer can't decide if it's a Catapult or a Marauder, you know you're in trouble.

@@MorroTreece Mech Warrior 2 is the first game I can remember playing. For me, a very impressive and formative game in my childhood.

Also takes place during the conflict that led to the events of MechWarrior 2.
yall ready for Mech Warriors 6 - Strange new World's
Ahahahaha that redo of the MW2 box art. Goosebumps.
Finally, Smoke Jaguar's perspective on things. Even if that perspective is in the middle of an explosion.
If there isn't an explosive perspective it isn't MechWarrior!
There are many explosions in Smoke Jaguars perspective, this is not unusual
Oooh boy I can't wait to commit warcrimes, just as the bloodname Furlough intended
Smoke Jaguars deserve everything they got
I mean... Smoke Jaguar's perspective did end up just being the middle of an explosion, if you think about it...

You get to call him out stating you knew his father’s past or cowardice to flee the clans or something bad ass like that. That would fit the lore and Battletech plot twists perfectly.
Timeline does not line up. This game begins in 3050 or so, Mason was in his 20s in 3015. His father left with the Dragoons decades before that presumably. And your character is a newly promoted Warrior (Clan Cadets typically graduate into the Warrior caste aged 18-20).
That would put Mason in his 50s. Seems to line up to me?@@Significantpower
You're a Fresh Graduate, the chances of you knowing an agent sent on a fairly secretive mission is... pretty slim.
Sent on a mission or fleeing the clans? Maybe didn't know him one on one but read an intelligence report here and there. @@56bturn
@@Ironknuckle100Mason would be in his 60s, and for most Mercs that beyond retirement age.
A Clan Warrior usually ages out after 35 into a Solama unit. As a fresh recruit, in 3047, its extremely unlikely that the Smoke Jag protag would know anyone who was sent on the Dragoons mission, let alone something like Mason's father, which was implied to be an even ewriler scouting party
Man, I really liked that Mech 2 had - cadet training. The instructor was very cool and would be nice to see a different voiceover and character style for each clan, warden/invader in trials/training. I would like to see trials by blood in the story lines! Kahns etc. book lore. With all the freebirth extra detail to the blood splatter on the inside of the cockpit when the pilot inside pops. Cheers
I hope this is like the old Guild Wars games, each expansion was a stand alone game but they could all be used together on one account. I'm not expecting Piranha to do this, but it'd be cool if they make it a giant expansion for the MW5 that is already out. it'd be fun to have the clans come out of nowhere and you have to deal with it, or if you start a new game you can choose to be clanner scum and you invade (as they say in the description) as Smoke Jaguar.
Sadly…I don’t think they’ll be updating 5’s map anymore as I have a feeling this is UE5 and essentially a new game entirely. Hope to be wrong.
Between yaml mods and current beta clan invasion mod though, I mean, I’ve been fighting clanners in game for while now 😂
Beautiful
Love the MW2 vibes !! Please bring the full B Betty this time with critical hits and immersion intros... Also like that the music will be similar to the one in MW2 🤘The more MW2 the better 💯
