[@C-L-A-W]

The one this I always admired about this game and mech assault was the model detail and how smooth the walking animation is. I still think the movement animations are still hands down better than MWO or MW5.

[@Chopstorm.]

Definitely. The legs actually react to moving up or down terrain, instead of just clipping through the ground like they do in MWO/MW5. Compare the Daishi's movement in this to the one in MWO. They're leagues apart.

[@combativeThinker]

Yep. PGI doesn’t seem to understand that, since mechs move using artificial musculature, their motions should appear fluid and alive instead of stiff and robotic.

[@colbyboucher6391]

Yeah, I never played MW4 and it's cool to see this after realizing how nimble 'mechs are actually meant to be. Like, these things can crouch, right themselves if they fall over, an Atlas can yank your 'mech's arm off and beat you to death with it, hell, a good enough Spider pilot can do backflips if they feel like it. That's what makes these things useful. It's also why pilots can't hit shit in the tabletop game as soon as you start running.

[@Razgriz_01]

Yeah, its really annoying knowing that the Mech's speed and walk-animation aren't exactly synced as well. You can see the mechs in MW5 "sliding" with each step. I'm surprised PGI, or a modder, hasn't fixed it.

[@brendlowert5772]

I'm not one to demand a remake lightly (they're mostly just lazy and an admission of a studio that they can't do anything new and interesting) but this game absolutely deserves one. It's a shame that MW4 and all its expansions are abandonware and get increasingly more difficult to run on modern hardware and operating systems with each passing year.

[@joebloggs5977]

It's not THAT bad just very unoptimized. I'm kinda ambivalent on the MW5 engine, I think it's a bit janky tbh. Also I prefer the old unseen designs not the industrial look which makes everything look the same. In an ideal world I'd be happy with a 1-1 remake on a more modern engine, like what MWLL did with Crysis Wars

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

thank you for this. I can't get it running on a modern system and I am dying from nostalgia.

[@Axehilt]

I was a tester on MW4 and BK, and looking back makes me realize how much 'mech quality varied. I used to think it was just later releases being worse, but I think that's only because my friend showed me all the worst 'mechs back in the day. (We'd both be in the multiplayer testing lab, he was still working on MW games while I moved on to Rise of Nations, and so I didn't get to really dig into Mercs/MekTek much.) But watching this video I think it's just that 'mech quality varied a lot with _every_ release; there were some derpy, bad-looking designs in MW4 and BK, and also some awesome 'mechs in the later releases. One factor was scaling. While I think the Catapult overall looked great in this series, the cockpit window is _ridiculously gigantic._ I think one or two 'mechs might've actually been scaled up from smaller sizes (with no changes to textures or anything) so that might've been what happened there. Another factor is _the source material_ varies a lot. And we aren't even talking about mechs stolen from another IP entirely (since I don't think any of those Robotech/Macross mechs made it into MW4?), just the fact that BT over the years had so many different artists of different styles drawing (and 3D modeling) the same 'mechs different ways. I love what MWO has done with the mech designs as they feel like they're trying to be taken seriously (as serious as giant walking tanks can be taken anyway), and it's that sort of "ridiculous premise, but executed completely seriously" design style that I love in my sci-fi/fantasy. I still have nitpicks, but I think they've done an amazing job with things. And well...standardizing the art style, even though that has more to do with the fact that their mechs have been re-used in both Battletech and Mechwarrior 5 (it's weird to call it "standardizing" when it's just re-using the art).

[@Viciouslyvicious]

MWO designs look really generic, it can blend in alot of sci-fi settings. It doesn't feel like piloting oversized killing metal boxes made to minimum requirements, it feels more like generic power armor. Of course some designs are goofy, that's part of the battletech style, and of course when you have hundreds of mechs not every one of them is going to be the pinnacle of design.

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

I think the varied level of quality is much more OK in a single player game, anyway. in MWO you kinda need it to be balanced, and you need it to look good for the people who spend real money.

[@johnlerrietorre1750]

Wow this brings me back, I like the designs of the mechs herr compared to the new ones

[@jaximusprimerib34]

[@combativeThinker]

Why are all the mechs in this game so much faster than their MW5 counterparts? Even compared to the listed speeds on the wiki, the mechs in MW5 are sluggish.

[@combativeThinker]

I remember reading the description of the Archer in MW5 and wondered how it was supposed to strike from a distance and keep a range gap when it could only run at 64 kph, but seeing the Archer in this game running at 100 made a lot more sense, lol.

[@Heldermaior]

I mean, if we could have an open ended campaign in this game, I would basically drop MW5 altogether. This game just plays better. Aiming is harder, the movement is what I expect from a battlemech and it is just nice. This game gave me my undying love for the Bushwacker back in the day.

My dude. Thats the point. Top speed, meaning the maximum amount of speed that machine is physically capable of. Everything else be dammed. For example, when people describe the top speed of a car, they aren't taking into account various things like the weight of potential cargo. If they were then i suppose thats what they'd call an average speed. But i didn't take the average, i took the top. As in the maximum amount of speed achievable.

Bombadier is probably my favorite.

it was the best, i could fit a couple arrows on it and mess things up

[@danielsowa8209]

That was phat.

[@Annatra234]

Didn't know the annihilator was in this game, where is it found?

[@Stonezorz]

Its not in the original base game, but was added with the Mektek mods. I'm pretty sure the Mektek mechs start showing up in stores the same way the normal mechs do: Progress further into the game to see more mechs show up in the shop. Edit: From what I remember, the Mektek mod mechs are always listed below the list of original mechs in the shop. The Mektek ones do not show up in campaign missions and can only be bought.

Ah yes, the infantry weigh 20 tons

lol ikr, they say it was the minimum value they could enter.

@@jaximusprimerib34 we just don't realize that's the actual weight, its all the body armor and crayons they're hauling around

Always loved cat mechs

I know PGI is focused on other projects but damn I wish they would keep injecting new mechs into MWO

i wish they would make a good game.

Coldron Born is a Seleris 7 Special NPC, and he drives a Timberwolf. also the what you have listed as the Warlord is the Atlas 2, also a Stelaris 2 Special NPC.

[@jaximusprimerib34]

All names and data are taken directly from the game. whether or not they are canonical is another story hence the disclaimer at the beginning.

[@mortyjhones4068]

@@jaximusprimerib34 yea there models are in game. BUT there not playable at all. the only time they spawn is in matchs at stelaris, where they are controlled by the computer, there is no way at all to get acess to those Mechs.

[@jaximusprimerib34]

@@mortyjhones4068 Sorry, it seems you are confused. What I am presenting with this video is not the base game of MW4:Mercs. The Cauldron-Born (Ebony Jaguar) was a mech from the clan expansion pack that was released for MW4:Vengeance. You are correct, it did not appear in MW4: Mercs as a playable mech. The only time you see it in the game is during the opening video and in Solaris as an enemy as you said. What i am presenting here in this video is the Mektek modded version of the game. MW4:Mercs MekTek Mech Pack Version 3.1 to be exact. In this version of the game you have the ability to play not just the Cauldron-born but also all other mechs from the MW4:Vengeance expansion packs and more! It adds tons of content like maps and weapons. This version of the game is widely considered the final form of MW4. You should try it if you can find it and get it running. Hopefully that cleared up any confusion.

[@mortyjhones4068]

@@jaximusprimerib34 Well whoever made the Mod made a major FUCKUP as Cauldron-Born and his mech are easter eggs in MW from the gray death books. he was a clan Infiltrator who went to Stelaris in a super custom timberwolf. infact its noted that if you try and build it it with what its discribed as having in book, it ends up 20t over mass, even with clan tec. mind you I did have to LOl, abit the Urbanmech speeds are double what there supposted to be. another Mod maker FUBAR,

[@jaximusprimerib34]

@@mortyjhones4068 I'm not sure about this character you speak of but the name Cauldron-Born is the Inner Sphere name for the Ebony Jaguar mech. As see here- "Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron-Born) - BattleTechWiki" www.sarna.net/wiki/Ebon_Jaguar_(Cauldron-Born) So its not an Easter egg. The mod makers weren't even the ones that decided to use that name. That name was assigned by the game creators for its release in the clan expansion pack for MW4 Vengeance

[@quattrobajeena6484]

can the mechs added in mektek be played in the campaign and carrier mode?

[@GymBossAniki]

Depends on the mod version, some were mp and instant action only while the later last ones also patched the new stuff into the campaign.

[@retrosquadchannel2.050]

Mostly. You cannot buy Arctic Wolf and Shadow Hawk in campaign mode. Others are avaiable at free market.
