The Centurion Phalanx

(SUBTITLES AVAILABLE!) The Centurion is a 50 tons BattleMech that serves as a front line ground pounder. The quintessential medium mech, made for teamwork. Today, we make the arm mounted autocannon sing and march forward into treacherous terrain, where tactics and special maneuvers are gonna be needed.

Why does beef always sounds like he is about to hit us with a punchline to the worlds greatest joke and is having problems containing it? 😂

[@specter_8885]

He sounds like a polite WH40k Ork

[@trickm0nkey]

I had a sensible chuckle at Hickok45 shooting an urbie

[@durg8909]

B33F ME UP B33F ME UP INSIDE CANT B33F UP B33F ME UP INSIDE B33F MEEEEEEE

[@FunkThompson]

OG Centurion may be one of the best all-around mechs of the early years, for sure. And quite effective in almost every game it has appeared in beyond tabletop.

[@FunkThompson]

And the best maneuver of all, the Group Hug ;)

[@jtjames79]

I hate it. Not because it's bad in any way. It's too good. I'm more of a Harbor Freight Urban Mech guy.

[@iller3]

I'll never forget the terrifying Centurion-Treb duo we had to face in the early campaign in Mw2 Mercs...they put an elite-piloted Victor to shame

[@michaellemmons4759]

you gotta love how well the AC20 pairs up with an SRM barrage

[@Stormy2021x]

The best brawling builds are built around that combination.

[@teux01]

Had me from "This is the B33f speaking"

[@Kattbirb]

I love how universal Hickok45 has become. Wholesome yet memeable.

[@huskeryu]

Absolutely loved this mech; it's what taught me how to torso twist, and when it had the LBX-10 cooldown quirk it was maybe my favorite fun mech of the era.

[@ratbaby3107]

The CN9-AH with srms is my favorite mech in the entire series. The AC-20 is God's gift to mankind, and no mech can be considered perfect without one

[@garbodude4365]

Agreed, the AH is one of my best performing mechs. Just before work I got a round in the current event queue (8V8 drop deck), and with the AH, I was able to outlast a Crael before it could gnaw off one of my legs, defeating it AND its SNPPC Vulcan backup in about ten seconds from each other. I felt like an absolute badass

[@RomanSpengler2471]

I remember this event in October and when I saw in the game 4 centurions for the first time I immediately thought that you was making a video about that tactics. now i see how you killing me LOL

[@argetect2847]

Haven't played in years. You're the only MWO creator that I still follow. Absolutely stoked to see you back in action. I never noticed how great of a writer you are as well! GGWP! o7

[@philtkaswahl2124]

"You Centurions again, I swear." -every place in history that got conquered by the Romans

[@yanvaillancourt5226]

Love the Discount Dan cameo. :)

[@feeniks100]

whats so hilarious about mister b33f is that thanks to his magnificent accent that makes him sound like a cartoonish supervillain, i have absolutely no idea if he is french or german. Which ever it is, 10/10 would listen to a supervillain talk about his evil mechs again.

[@lawsonspupil]

IT'S THE BEEF!

[@pyroman136]

You make the highest-quality MechWarrior videos out there. I'm so glad you're back!

[@Superslemmet]

Centurion (all variants) is hands down my most played mech and favorite. It's just something about how it plays, and that you always feel like you are a sort of underdog (even if you are not) that is just so satisfying.

[@riyko3283]

Bloody love the new format TheB33F, your doing a great job.

[@Dingbat1967]

B33F POST REQUIRES AN UPDOOT. Mission accomplished

[@StreakedSilver]

The Hickok meme was a delight. I named my Centurion in my table top merc company "Rubberband Man"" everyone loves this mech, so a song about how awesome said guy is seems appropriate.

[@steelshanks1265]

I am a fan of the Centurion-AL, but this is some prime Centurion Content right here. Great Vid.

[@Devastish]

Always love a good Mechcommander reference. Thanks for being a gem B33F

[@kylenguyen7371]

Centurion legions marching onto the battlefield with B33f at the helm.... Hide your kids and hide your wives, people. 😂

[@drunkgrunt9518]

I'm loving the new format you're using for your videos B33F.

[@amdusias1]

I've only played the older MechWarrior games ages ago and never MechWarrior Online. However I stumbled across your channel one day and the universe/theming is still super cool to me so I decided to watch something...needless to say I watched all your videos after that! These new ones are so entertaining that at times I find myself looking at the time stamp and wishing the 16 minute video was more like 30 minutes. I can't remember the last time I've thought that about a youtube video. I'm so happy you're back making videos again!! (And also thank you so much for adding subtitles. I'm a little hard of hearing but now I can follow your jokes to the punchline in one fell swoop :D)

[@FerociousMoOoO]

Thanks B33F, you have reignited my passion for MWO with your videos. Welcome back dude.

[@victorc7373]

love the "got scrap" billboard

[@Pulmonox]

Ah, the good old Centurion was the very first mech purchase I made in MWO back in the day. I still field more of them in my mechbays than any other chassis and use them fairly regularly, including the AH(L), The Yen Lo, and the new Onyx. It's a classic. Lovin' the new format and videos B33F! Hope to get killed by you again sometime.

[@JesterAvali]

Extremely satisfying teamplay

[@Node8]

The torso twist shield block is so satisfying to watch

[@IronnMan35]

Another great video by B33f! The scream at 2:56 is from Holly Harris, from the Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries intro. That is such a nostalgic thing to do haha, love it.

[@josabar8561]

It's the team work that makes Average mechs shine.

[@kevinknutson4596]

The centurion was one of the first mechs I played in MWO and it was so much god damn fun

[@TheSpectralFX]

No words can suffice to describe how badass that was. Gotta love the centurion.

[@misterbeeps]

That is definitely Krizzman's washroom.

[@zigzera7757]

I like the tactic card animation a nice little bit of production quality to a quality video

[@madsteintist]

Fucking awesome vid, love the new format B33F!! Also love the BPL cameo at the start, lol.

[@LaloKosakoURSS]

The Centurion was my first mech and will always be a favourite. Also, a nice touch with that song at the end, I didn't know B33f was a ES2 connoisseur.

[@Alaxion]

Man I love these videos that show off your incredible game sense.

[@Jsay18]

Thank you for making a video on my favorite Medium Mech. I remember when I walked into a Full health Atlas one time. And won.

[@rsbreth]

Love it - over the years, I thank you for the lulz B33F.

[@CGCEifel]

Great Video B33F! I remember the D variant with the ridiculous LBX10 cooldown Quirks, good times.

[@FerreusVir]

I ran the AL forEVER when I first started playing MWO, back in the open beta. Loved the chassis and still run a variant or two every now and then.

[@laynebarocela5069]

I think those AC-20 rounds in your weapon have a special spot in the hearts of those Mechs on the enemy lance! Seems you and lance buddies agree ^w^

[@JStar1337]

I love how you merge MW5 and MWO, great content

[@ratofnihm]

Literally the only thing missing from this video was you calling the Centurion, "50 ton of pure pleasure" somewhere near the beginning. :D

[@jamescisabell]

Damn B33f your videos are always amazing. We love you too!❤

[@thetrout]

You don't get enough props for your video editing. It's amazing.

[@St4ticScratch]

my CN9-AHL is still rocking that AC20 loadout after all these years haha

[@John_Conner222]

This is why we sub. Seeing this kind of gameplay vs the tier 5 scrubs I fight is awesome.

[@ColonelTacki]

This new video format is just amazing. You're really digging deep for all of these. Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing some joy to this rando here on the internet. Happy hunting.

[@GnomeDeathKnight]

Centurions are absolute troopers, great choice and a great showcase!

[@ste3lwill]

I love the Bushwhacker and I will always smile when i see the AC/40 Warthog in play

[@markymark3668]

Please don't leave us again B33f. I know life can happen and sometimes you just lose the passion you once had. But gd I love your content so much man. We need someone like you in the MWO community. Hope you stick around this time. If not, won't hold it against you. Cheers MechWarrior. And welcome back to the battlefield.

[@xthegrim]

B33F taking my pepper grinder out, my friends and I were just running a team of these things

[@ademkollari8992]

Oh no, dragged DeFunked and Krizzman out of retirement. Great one.

[@Nineball459]

I used to do zombie centurion runs with a full lance many years ago, centurion is always one of my favorite mechs for these kinds of 4 man squad tactics.

[@LukeSeed]

The centurion is a beautiful mech

[@baldbd64]

Amazing run-down of the mighty Centurion!

[@YarHarFD]

Whenever these come out I stop what I'm doing and watch start to finish. It's also pretty awesome when b33f's fits are what you've been using successfully for months XD

[@thomascraiker6449]

These are just getting better and better.

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

NEW B33F VIDEO! LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bonbondurjdr6553]

That mech has such a classy look!

[@donk8961]

High quality, that's some beefy gameplay

[@dennisthompson7921]

Great video. BTW why is Discount Dan on the billboard in the animation?

[@DreamFireNostalgia]

On of my all time favorite mechs and. And tied with the hunchhback as my fav medium.

[@LukeSeed]

B33F is too beefy

[@Artificer1911]

Gotta love the centurion. Great video!

[@alexanderdooley5833]

THE CENTURION!!!!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!! best PGI redesign. this thing is BOSS.

[@elennai6374]

My favourite mech and one of my favourite content creators... happy day 😁

[@SoloAxlion]

The Hunchback IIC aside reminds me of how I loaded out my one of those with quad ERPPC because I found that I could and as such it amused me.

[@opmechgamer1431]

YEAH more B33F!!!!!!!!!!

[@SparrowNoire]

Great Vid! I love using mine with the LBX10 and SRM2's. Same refresh rate, so I can alpha and twist all day

[@d-obvious]

nice to see you back B33f 🌞

[@pajugarline6121]

awesome videos mate!

[@dastalinstarblade4618]

Centurion had always been a favorite of mine. Think I typically rolled around with the A9 with two MPL, two SRM 6 and either an AC 10 or a UAC 5 (iirc). Typically stuck around assault 'Mechs to protect them from lights and plink away at whatever components they stripped armor off of. Had to have been my favorite build aside from my CDA-3M with ECM and four MPL, at least before they added the skill trees

[@anthonyrabke7195]

Keep it up B33f!!!

[@xezberzs96]

Using Keemstar to introduce the AH Centurion was funny as shit.

[@AlaynaZebra]

yeah b33f god we missed you and your content you need to find matches with sean in them again and kill him with ridiculous mechs sometime for nostalgia!

[@Batou_73]

Your the best B33f!❤

[@DapperBrick]

The B33F brings us more high quality shitrep (shitposts/situation report)

[@alancarrascolapeira9545]

My favorite mech, i used a variant with 2 ppcs on the arm :)

[@shermancommander1314]

If we he's doing some of the old lads I hope we get a Shadow hawk video

[@matthewprice8934]

Funny as hell..cent though is my favorite brawler

[@starbomber]

12:00 as a long time bushwhacker pilot myself...I don't know what they sacrificed to put ***TWO*** AC 20 on their mechs, but I hope you guys can get through it.

[@sardaukerlegion]

[@superchicken3554]

Underrated channel

[@abrakadabra6364]

Good to see you're not dead 🎉

[@Kahhay]

The Centurions Power Extreme

[@GrenunnyProductions]

This video makes me ALMOST want to reinstall MWO. Thank you B33F. This was awesome! And as usual you make what's fun about MechWarrior a reality in video.

[@notaclass-d1822]

something ive always wanted whenever i see a centurion, is being able to move your mechs arms so you can reposition the shield outside of torso twisting, i dont think thered be a goodw ay to implement that in a control scheme though sadly

[@benjaminboyer39]

welp time to use a centurion tonight I hadn't seen the quirks on the D for the LBX that's nuts

[@aickavon]

WOO PISSJUG IS BACK!

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

I always say I like Heavies and assaults, but there's so many medium mechs that fill my love for Battletech, and the Centurion is very near the top. Love mediums.

[@nekonekomikan]

I never could master this mech's torso twist.

[@RalphyNoPants]

Love you too!

[@garydufton3510]

True team work alone is the most powerful weapon on the battlefeild.

[@malcontender6319]

Those Cents were you guys?! Crafty!

[@sempermilites87]

Loved it!

[@foofoo3344]

The Centurion is also good at solo. My favorite variant is the AL variant that mounts a large energy weapon on it's right arm instead of a large ballistic weapon. Put in some double heat sinks and you are good to go
