...Would love to see more Battletech programs like this! Such a change from the bland trope we get today.

That isn't the Mechwarrior 3 intro. WTF is that?

Bit late to the party, but which game is at which timestamp?

very well done !!!!

Mech Commander honestly is peak

Sweet atlas 3 finally in media

I would like to issue her a Batchall and claim her as my bondsman

The events of this video were recently canonized/referenced in the Jackalope entry in Shrapnel #16.

Something that's just now striking me now that I have more knowledge of the lore... why in the MW3 intro do the Innies have Vultures, a Clan heavymech?

That Mechwarrior 2 cinematic is still the best of the bunch, as much as I enjoy the live action scenes from games of the time (notably C&C) they felt just a little too hammy. The very first cinematic we got from Piranha that was initially suppose to be MW5 was also really good, man was I ever stoked for a new Mechwarrior game but ultimately disappointed that it turned into MWO. MW5 Mercs is fine but sandbox games just don't hit the same as story driven games do, here's to hoping MW5 Clans delivers.

Yooooo why am I just now seeing this???? Even for its age, this is dope as hell!

The only real issue I have with this is that several of the Clan warriors used contractions. A BIG no no!!!!!

10:07-10:10, 11:13-11:34

great stuff, guys!

10:25 are urbies or hornets? :D

MechWarrior 4 Vengeance intro has by far the best visuals, and is also the ONLY one that actually shows the machines shifting their weight to walk fairly realistically. All other MechWarrior games and cinematics violate the willing suspension of disbelief by having them walk stiffly & robotically as if gravity didn't affect them. It's such a small detail, but you can't unsee it once you notice, and it instantly breaks immersion if it's missing. It also has pretty lousy & illogical writing, but that's par for all the other cinematics.

The 'acting' in these early BT/MW titles was so wooden and subpar. I know this is a fan production, but it keeps the vibe.

10/10 short and sweet

13:40 - This was my intro into the series and ever since I have been a huge fan of Battletech/Mechwarrior. MW3 had a great intro. Really sold the vibe. Kind of ironic though that a Vulture (or mad dog) says's 'die clanner' while piloting an exclusively clan mech.

High Voltage sticker on a control board? kek

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

Man, I imagine the first MechWarrior was good, but the absolutely insane quality buff going into 2 is just nuts!

The best cutscene I've ever seen is the initial video of Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance. Sure it's a little cheesy but it is so immersive too, and I cared more about those characters in a few minutes than I did of anyone in Mechwarrior 5 which I played I don't know how many hours of... It'd be cool AF if they returned to that style in the next game.

The Inner Sphere It is exploding Mechs are stomping Bullets loading You took out all your heatsinks Making room for missile boating You say that mech's for urban warfare So what's that nuke youre toting? Even Solaris 7's orbit has bodies floating And you tell me Over and over and over again My friend How you don't believe We're on the eve of destruction

I don't recall seeing the first clip in this video for MW3, the second clip with the trooper in the tank watching the mech get popped is the one that always played when I started the game. Is the first clip a fan edit?

why is that bitch back

nice artwork - did you use blender ?

This is absolutely mind blowing, especially given that it's apparently from 2006, those computer effects are absolutely gorgeous. They look a little dated now, but for something that's almost 20 years old, that CGI is work is insane.

I recently got the Mechwarrior quadralogy, so far I'm enjoying MW2

Ugg the worst atlas, atlas 3. Definitely seen better production from folks with mor vision. Such as the old mechwarior 4 cutscene, as well as the battlepod cutscene. These folks rush through thier lines or have a bad director. CGI, was good. But I’m here for the history Yes Thunderfox, no idea what the tall clan mechs are ment to be.

Those Battlemaster pilots were heroes.

that is the Super Nintendo game being used as the first mechwarrior instead of the 1989 PC game, but thats ok :P. I played the original 1989 game so much when i was a kid. then a few years later heard a Mechwarrior 2 was coming!??. And when i saw that mechwarrior 2 intro for the first time when the game first came out, i felt like my life was complete lol. /thumbsup

Took 9 years, but 666 likes.

This is awesome!

I sometimes walk around and make mech sounds in my camouflage underwear. Unfortunately my neighbours do no appreciate this and have called the police

how many versions of 3s intro do you think they did? that dearmed thor getting face clapped doesn't make sense, also doesn't match the other video shown

never knew john cena is mech warrior

The mechcommander into, its all too realistic when he says turn, then has to tell him again TAKE THE TURN! Lmao i find myself yelling at them too when they stumble around not going where told lmao

My wife said: "... I think..." And I recalled an old line from MechCommander - my first mech/space themed game: "Dont think MechWarrior.. Find Out"

All of them gold, all except the Polar Bear WWE Wrestler one, goofy af lol

Now I want an Anime version of this with The Green Bird from La Nouba as Elena Day’s character, Anastasia!

Mech 2 has the best intro

ejection back into exploding mech!!! how dumb were the engineers!!!😄😄😂😂😂😂

mechwarrior 3 is my fav

The Atlas Mech is a powerhouse! Nice video!

10:19 "tanks and light BattleMechs." *Steiner Atlas* Vrooooooooom!

Say what you want about Activision but they knew what they were doing with the Battletech license when they had it.

I owned every single one of these games at launch. Mechwarrior was my first game Super VGA graphics!

Is that clan wolverine?

1:28 The Green Bird Herself
