Mechwarrior the movie

[@MrDeathbydying]

My dad had MW4 when I was a kid (I'm 23), and the opening cinematic just blew me away. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time. I still get goosebumps every time

PuswadBelch agreed. The Mechwarrior universe is rich of it's own unique mythos, history, characters and stories that deserve to be told, seen and enjoyed on the big screen.

[@alainarchambault2331]

PuswadBelch Robot Jox was the worse "mech" movie I've seen. Pacific Rim on the other hand, was awesome, and coupled with the--- and I quote, "unique mythos, history, characters and stories that deserve to be told, seen and enjoyed on the big screen." As odojang had said, yeah, I'd like to see a few movie done. If a T.V. company can pull off what'll be a lot of CGI, a T.V series would be better. But hey, after Microsoft(headed) got a hold of this title and then shelved it, it's been downhill since. Now the "hidden" is owned by some small time anime company, and we got this poor bastard of a title called Mechwarrior online which after something like a hundred patches, still haven't got proper joystick support.

[@Aristocrafied]

PuswadBelch Dude it should be a series, all these high budget series of late have show they can be on par with movies concerning quality! They can't put that shit in a movie and waiting so long for another movie will be deadly! I want a series!!!

[@odojang]

Alain Archambault Robotjox was okay for it's days when it came out although not a great movie even then and the story has no relation to the actual MW/BT at all. Still, one of the first efforts to portray piloted robots in live action.(La version Française était pas si mal non plus ;))

[@alainarchambault2331]

odojang (Robotjox) Granted, in as far as the technology was at the time, but the plot stunk to high heaven. The "Bolo-saw", would've never worked. And the Russian bad guy suddenly ceasing his attack at the end, just because the stranded American pilot says, "We should be friends". Someone was smokin' weed the day the script was wrote. There was a brief animated series based on the mechwarrior universe a while back.

Never saw any mech game close to that greatness, fuck i'm playing battletech now and what i got a dozens of ugly random generated cgi pilot portraits with zero soul.

[@Harkeilla]

Shenaldrac You realise they were not Clan warriors but Inner Sphere piloting salvaged Clan 'Mechs, do you not? Well, obvisously you do not, as your comment shows.

[@Shenaldrac]

***** No, I didn't. That's... really strange. To have an IS outfit equipped entirely with Clan mechs, even if it looked like "only" a lance. I mean yeah the Sea Foxes/Diamond Sharks/Sea Foxes sell to everyone but they don't sell cheap. And you'd think a whole lance worth of clan mechs could handle, what was there, an Uziel, and another 2-3 IS mechs? Then again, the dude's brilliant plan to buy time was basically just "run out, then use, what, a single MP's worth of movement while firing missiles and a few shots from my LPLs while all the enemies concentrate fire on me." You're in a Vulture, dude. You've got thin armor, keep moving and using the LPL's to-hit bonus to keep at range and fast while taking apart the IS mechs. Yeah, I know he was trying to buy time, not win, but you'll buy a lot more time by being evasive and a hard target. If your goal is to buy time then you shouldn't be trying to actually take out the invaders, you should be prolonging the fight as much as possible, keeping mobile as I mentioned. Also, that ammo explosion shouldn't have destroyed the entire mech, what with Clan CASE and all.

[@ngonStrafe]

+Shenaldrac That clip is from MW4, which took place after the end of the clan invasion. They were probably salvaged Clan 'Mechs.

[@Shenaldrac]

I'm aware, I'm more meaning the fact that even after the Jihad, hell until fairly recently in the timeline (3140s compared to the 3060s) Clan mechs were still incredibly rare in Inner Sphere forces. Even the Great Houses didn't use entire lances of Clan mechs except in their most elite units, and as I've pointed out, that lance didn't exactly act very competent. I'm guessing they used a lance of Clan mechs primarily for the fanservice value, but it was still a bit jarring to me.

[@Animalover205]

I agree for the most part, but you also have to keep in mind that half the Lance was wiped out when the hanger blew, so that played a role in it.

Agreed. If I am correct, the lightest mech is the mercury... at 20 tons! These look like half that... but if we define mechs as cockpit-based instead of the limbs of the pilot being the limbs of the machine (which would qualify it then as a battlesuit like the Clans Elementals, not a mech) they could have been indeed some ultralight model.

That is some really cool work! oh i love mechs ^^

[@JerryMetal]

Terrible graphics for a movie from 3063

[@jongaskins5617]

it's filmed in "retro" style.

[@octavegalibert2160]

+bukifuriku its a compilation from cinematic of MW4 veangence (out in 2000~)

[@JerryMetal]

"CMDR" IKill4MySkill Thats a fantastic gif! Right clicked and Saved As for life :)

[@Semmarv]

1080p is lostech

[@TheKnightOfSmite]

The succession wars were.. severe

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

Call me a nit picker but I find it amusing that Battlemechs are built on assembly lines as if they were modern day cars.

[@gorillaau]

Flip it around. Armoured tanks in World War 2 was built on assembly lines.

[@Knightfang1]

Lol i wouldnt want to be facing off against a MadCat if i was in a Raven either

[@DarthVaderBlue]

Hello guys, what was the last official game from Activision under the MechWarrior franchise? The last time I played MechWarrior was, MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. That was a very long time ago (back in the 90's). Can anybody enlighten me or kind enough to lead me to a good article regarding to MechWarrior. Thanks!

[@-Kidzin]

That Mechcommander cinematic always pisses me off :D Timber Wolf would have chewed through these light mechs seconds after destroying Hunchback, they made SJ pilots look retarded.

[@satannstuff]

+Kidzin One of them was a medium mech, the Centurion. Both of the light mechs in question ( Raven, Commando ) are known to carry a larger than average payload for their weight. The Commando specifically is designed to be used exactly like it was in the cutscene. All hits were to the rear and that's more than enough firepower to take out a 75 ton heavy.

[@-Kidzin]

satannstuff Oh please. And Timber Wolf missed that Raven several times + rear shots did nothing. Not to mention idiotic movement

[@thegeneralmitch]

"I'll hold them as long as i can" **activates beast mode**

[@mario4793]

you can still play the game on gameranger , the mechs move very smoothly, the weapon are great all mechs are unlocked, each game is different because you build the mech to the maps there are over 300 maps check it out. you can always ask for help from the coyote clan there helpful guys.

[@bottomtext5872]

Man they still only had 480p in the 31st century

[@GermanwarfareDe2015]

we need 1080p! Good job on this one! Go for a kickstarter and make a cinema movie - or several short films

[@odojang]

Wow, high praise, thanks. Would I have the time and resources to do this... although it's a bit tricky legally to work with material that is not yours. We have seen this with Star Trek Axanar and the Star Wars Kid... Ah but to dream...

[@GermanwarfareDe2015]

comes money, comes license

[@odojang]

don't tempt me :P

[@trolllelelele9624]

there is forum for this game..i am new to this game..still need to learn more

[@TheFifthHorseman_]

There are many games in the series and many forums for each.

[@mathewgerneth2387]

AWESOME!!!

[@ChozoSR388]

Just saying, MW NEEDS to be a movie, and I think Bruce Willis would make a kickass Lance Leader.

[@cptncutleg]

Eh, I think I'd prefer Vin Diesel

[@ChozoSR388]

DarkDeathTrooper Good for you, but isn't that considered incest?

[@ChozoSR388]

DarkDeathTrooper I know, I aapologize, I was just having a bit of fun.

[@WildBillCox13]

A Battletech movie worthy of being called "The BattleTech Movie"? Now it could be done, but it has to be done from the concept novel, evolved through a light novel format, turned over to manga teams for the storyboard and character design and then live acted in front of a blue screen . . . BEFORE you allocate special for the effects budget. Why do I say this? Because to take something this deep and give it insufficient coverage, vis a vis its vast and broad backstory, is to cheapen it till it looks and feels no different from all the other brain garbage out there. It'll have to be somewhat like a a series, but more of a 12 hour movie divided into convenient one hour segments for general consumption. As for the plots and subplots, Kung Fu movies are redolent with them; revenge, rivalry, secret missions, failed coups, invasions, assassinations . . . mesh a bunch of those together in the background against the panorama of the Inner Sphere in, say, 3030 or so, to keep the mind occupied while you tell your Heroic Epic in the foreground. I know it's gonna be a headache, but I'll take the romantic lead role. It doesn't pay as well as Arena Mech Jockey, but I get to the bars before they close.

[@CTTarantula]

Ah dammit , this vid sure hit my soft spot .... MW4 Vengance was my first online game , its also the origin for my gamertag ;) Miss the good ol days..... Hope the bring out a decent MW movie soon...

[@StealthMaster5k]

what the heck... 17:28 is from ZMR not Mechwarrior.....

[@odojang]

Naut even close baby Don't panic; everyone noticed... and I explained earlier why it is there.

[@qa2944]

awesome vid, what game was the gameplay footage at 23:00 onwards from?

[@odojang]

Thank you. 23:00 it's the old trailer for Mechwarrior Online. Then a fusion of the two intros of Mechwarrior 3 and the final cinematics of the original Mechwarrior Mercenaries and Mechwarrior 2

[@spamuraigranatabru1149]

16:16 what game is this? This makes me think of command and conqeour more then Mechwarrior/Battletech

[@odojang]

Mercenaries Online (Mech trailer)

[@travburg1]

At about 10:50 is high pucker factor! Inner Sphere Raven, a light scout mech pissing off a Clan Timber Wolf (Madcat). TW is a very effective, extremely dangerous, heavy mech with extended ranger large lasers and missiles as well as machine guns for attending to infantry.

[@Nacimin]

Please note he made the TW run after him so he could be hit from the back by concentrated fire from 2 mechs. Back armor is one of the weakest, so it makes sense

[@Nacimin]

well done, liked the ending, with the arrival of the clans!!

[@odojang]

Thx. Thought it would make a good ending

[@robbybarbera]

Nice I like this good job on making it.

[@MichaelCubstead]

Not to shabby. Took a it to get used the old graphics...but I remember a lot of those game sequences.

[@viva7642]

The good ol' days..3dfx :D

[@FrozenHawkHunter]

Is it so wrong to want a real Mechwarrrior movie? Or a Exo Squad movie?

[@odojang]

The way they are butchering every franchise today (looking at you Abrams, Kurtzman, Chibnall) I'd rather wait a few years for those hacks to go than have a Mech SJWarrior movie.

[@spacemanspiff6332]

Dat Vengeance intro still op af.

[@chrisdouglas9092]

Thanks for taking the time to put this together!! WISH the movie industry could make movies.. Plethora of money to be made

[@noneofyourbusiness7555]

would love to see a full length movie

[@gavinagain4631]

This is mercenary Gavin Agian, of the Centurion VII (starkiller) we hold Carvevr 5 REPAEAT Baxter is in control again, well done Odo! We are Leaving!! (in the Hicks voice)

[@odojang]

Aff merc. Well done. See you on the rim :)

[@odojang]

Roger; good job Merc.:)

[@personalspace174]

Someone sholud started real full-lenght movie on Kickstarter seriously For HOuse Steiner!

[@HumanityAsCode]

Liquid Tension Steiner stomping party!

[@acolytetojippity]

were there two different versions of the MW3 opening there towards the end? It looked like scenes were being repeated, but with a different engine/renderer.

[@odojang]

There were indeed two MW3 opening scenes made and I blended them to make a longer more detailed one. Since I was not making the graphics themselves but using sequences from games over several decades with unavoidably different graphics, It didn't bother me much. The story was the focus here.

[@VAULTDUDE69]

i am a mech warrior fan i played mechwarrior online before mechwarrior online had it's onwn game! i a real mech pilot! and there should make movie and spend a bit of money on it! it would be cool! also take the download block off this, this deserves a desent player to watch this on! please allow us to download it!
