This is almost a documentary of the history of MWO

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

Right? It’s like the evolution of the game over time!

To bad it's dead now. They aren't going to to add anything else to it.

I love how the cicada chirps

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

It’s amazing, cicada’master’race!

[@nathandean1687]

cicada with a ac 20. = a mech worse nitemare.

[@LostInTheFarmersMarket]

If I recall right you can get that as a kill horn too. Not sure if that came first or this series did.

[@klortikterra4423]

@@nathandean1687 what about an urbie with one?

[@56bturn]

The STALKER reference is appreciated. Also the Highlander attempting a 'Highlander Burial' but DFA doesn't exist in this game.

[@Sinnersaix]

it actual does exist, colliding with other Mechs does very little damage. I once walked over a ledge with a Hunchback and fell on a Spider, Spider dead. Also i did it on purpose on at least 2 different occasions with Jump Jets but at the Point you can do that, the enemy is basicaly a Deadmech walking. Still a nice options when you are out of Guns, just Ram or DFA them. And funny as Heck.

[@allthenamesiwantedweretaken]

@@Sinnersaix Yeah you can collide with your friends too and you take a smidgen of damage, I've gotten yellow once or twice because someone rammed right into me at the start.

[@Sinnersaix]

[@Nostroman_Praetor]

I once gave a King Crab a Highlander Burial for shooting my chest open . They literall couldn't shoot me do to weapon depression so I stood on top of them till they folded inward. Legs gave in before anything else suprisingly.

[@sampsalahti1491]

@@Sinnersaix Collisions used to knock one or both of the mechs involved down (typically the lighter of the pair). There was also a bug in the game that made the game engine treat the Dragon as a 100-ton mech when it came to collisions. They removed the entire collision mechanic after a couple of World of Lowtax pilots in Dragons ended up in a match with one of the devs and proceeded to use him as a football for the whole match.

[@wither5673]

the doors opening to show an entire team of pink thunderbolts with the super duper uber meta build is the most MWO thing ever lol

[@MiriOhki]

I love the puns (a Timber Wolf howling, the pop tarts.)

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

It's great cause these reflected the player experience throughout MWO's timeline.

[@heiniknallkopp9688]

@@NoGutsNoGalaxy Especially Laservomit Stormcrows. One of the reasons i stopped playing. Seriously, there was nothinbg worse than all this meta shit.

[@generalgrevious815]

I like the cut off lore dump. "Well clans where originally..." "Bad guys... their the bad guys..."

[@EricDKaufman]

There are no good guys in this setting. why i love it so much. Well maybe Fed. Suns. But their love of autocannons is a big turn off for me personally

[@ScornedOne1080]

The Cicada making the cicada sounds is killin me. Stalker laying the egg . . . I'm dyin! ANd that Predator reference . . . damn!

[@ESC_907]

We REALLY need a Battletech/Mechwarrior mini-series…

[@thorinbane]

Loved the highlander drifting backwards on his "jump jets" One of my fav to play on TT

[@Bagheera2]

The great jj nerf....

[@Grendelmk1]

As a guy who used to run a Raven in MW4, the "let's flank the poptarts" was entirely too damn funny :P

[@7thdivision]

That Cicada is so adorable

[@TurnaboutAkamia]

I like how this uses tracks from a handful of past _MechWarrior_ games for the music.

[@neboskii8756]

I love how the atlas grabbed the commando into cover in 2:24

[@Marveryn]

lol, i can feel that direwolf, when the entire team leave you to hunt a fast snipper with weaks guns to allow the opposing team main guns to move in closer and taking on the lone assault mech that was holding the line and miss out on the sudden shift to the rear.

[@horndogfred5246]

Perfectly sums up MWO. I once led half the enemy team to the back of the map by taking pot shots with my locust and it's single light ppc

[@SleepyR]

And it was never finished. Sad panda.

[@stealth89thegreat85]

The battle with falcons still rages on til this day.

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

Birds hold grudges...

[@0000Sierra117]

The timberwolf howling was a nice touch

[@slickdickens3782]

All the classic MW4 music was a great touch! Brought back some good memories and fit the animations perfectly.

[@Wrangler-fp4ei]

Yeah, i missed this stuff. I wish they were still making it.

[@neboskii8756]

i love how the storm crows make crow sounds

I want to let you know, this video single handily has motivated me to start playing again

[@TheCrackedFirebird]

Loved the fact the Falcon mechs sounded like crows lol!

[@numbernine5418]

Those Falcon mechs are Stromcrow.

[@JessFromMead]

What's really funny is that, I have only played mechwarrior 4 mercenaries, but I understood almost all the references in this lol

[@saeyabor]

I can't wait for MW5 to get Clan Invasion DLC so I can howl at people in a Timberwolf.

[@Orion_XR]

@@NoGutsNoGalaxy Do iiiiiiit! I wish I could animate or draw tbh just to help keep this going. its pretty funny and dramatic at the same time

[@johnminervino9200]

NoGutsNoGalaxy my brother is an animator who’s worked with KZbin channels before. Goes by the handle Stephen Minervino on YT. I could contact him and see if he’d be interested!

[@guardianbob]

@@johnminervino9200 I think that the artist should come from within the community, otherwise you won't get those "in" jokes like poptarts, hopping timberwolves, learning about the 3rd person camera UAV...

[@johnminervino9200]

Steve Blanka fair, though if NGNG wrote the script and collaborated on the storyboards I think it’d still come out crisp. He’s worked with KZbin channels and podcasts before, incorporating in jokes from both mediums. Let those in the know write the jokes, let the animator bring it to the big screen.

[@pan2161]

Can I just say that these are awesome - fun, funny and on the nose. Love the movements and animation style. Compliments to the creators!

[@Wrangler-fp4ei]

Wish this was still in production. It was awesome (with one) and funny.

[@andrecook4268]

I tried to get into MWO after it had already been out for 3-4 years, I didn't get very far because the game wasn't newb friendly at that point. But even in the few hours I played I felt every scene of this video.

[@SteelRaven11]

Nice stroll down memory lane.

[@christopherkent2359]

I am in awe of your talents concerning animation! I am an fan of the ritzy/glitzy cgi, but your style here has an appeal that harkens back to my younger days.

[@nik6081]

..and the fish killed it all

[@DJRockford83]

It'll be used as a test for future 40k editions, imagine only being able to move in straight lines with fast vehicles having a much longer moves so to get round a corner it would slow them down quite a bit. At the moment vehicles can perform all sorts of manoeuvres and not be slowed down

[@AyoxinBlake]

Wait, since when does MWO have a giant death worm? What? :D

[@bombomos]

That's what I was wondering too. If there was maybe some kind of raid boss injected into the matches haha

[@FatherSarge]

@@bombomos probably a reference to "don't chase the worm" what the team will tell their teammates so everyone doesn't chase the backstabber... Only this time the worm turns out to be an unstoppable foe that kills them all (which somehow happens pretty regularly to this day)

[@joshuahansen4265]

In Viridian Bog, the sound the worm makes can be heard in various areas around the map, and a brief animation of the work partially surfacing before diving back down again (you only see a small part of it and it's there for just a few seconds).

[@Doumaxwell1959]

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

I spent most of my free time the year before last playing the video game "Battletech," but I've still not really gotten into the community. Although I did calculate the theoretical possibility of an assault mech with four gauss rifles and stealth tech on a napkin a full year before I found out it actually existed in the Tex Talks Battletech episode, and I'm kinda proud of that.

[@boost2.041]

Id love to see some ground boosters as an option for jump jets. Not sure how it'd work though

[@alluringming]

[@jamessilva1259]

LoL, love the joke of how useless JumpJets are on the Highlander in MWO. Where in Turnbase or table top. 3-4 jumpjets is plenty, to get on top of the highest building, get to the other side of a chasm, or to get out of a bad situation. Where in MWO, you hover like a inch off the ground. lol

[@bombomos]

I mean like the tech is there haha, the drop ships have the same tech for their engines so the mechs with jump jets should be "blasting off again".
