MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries OST - Judgement And Retribution

I do not own this song. All rights belong to Piranha Games and composer Sean Colton.

It's 8 at night. I've got no date. I've got my drink of choice. I'm fielding my Annihilator packed to the brim with LB 10-X AC's, alongside my lance of a Highlander, King Crab, and Warhammer armed to the teeth as well. Judgement and Retribution came on. Let's fucking do this.

I love how everyone imagines their favorite mechs and favorite scenarios. It makes this game really personal. You put time and effort into your design, you weigh the costs, you tweak and balance; and then you go out and destroy your enemies with your favorite application of "excessive force". The mechwarrior experience is a special one.

There's something about Black Inferno that makes my blood boil. I use either flamers or snipe the cockpit to make sure the fucks die. And I don't sell their mechs. I repurpose them with their paint scheme still on, just to use the machines of their dead comrades against them. I'm usually a leg-kill type of guy.
