Techno in general, but for my first battle in my Steiner Atlas, it will for sure be this song

I generally *hate* AMVs and all it's similar knockoffs.

There has only ever been one that I liked, and that's only because it included a song that I felt perfectly suited combat on the dueling world of Solaris VII; a world of neon, holograms, steel, and c-bills. Of course, I tend to think of Solaris 7 in Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries' style.
Fast-forward to 1m18s if it doesn't do it automatically.


Song is "Rebel Riot" by "Dope Stars Inc"

There's other stuff I listen to for other kinds of games. I tend to like to listen to old 80s metal like Dio, and Iron maiden when playing 3025-era small merc unit combat through the RPG. When outside of 'mechs, it's future synthpop, coupled with classic bands like Hall and Oates, Mr. Mister, Corey Hart, and Lita Ford. In a pinch, the old transformers song "You've got the touch" also suits the era well, granted that you're not so attached to transformers that you can't help but think of them when you hear the song. Battletech is the future of the 80s, after all. If there's any out-of-mech parts in the game like Bars, if they give it a flare for the 80s and early 90s sci-fi, albeit polished to modern tastes, I would love it.

Yeah tend to agree. 80's power rock seems to really suit Battletech. There should be undertones of that 'sound' but also updated for the now.

Anyway here's some more epic power rocking cheese

[Steevo]

I find that some light classical music counterpoints the action and keeps the brain fizzing without the distraction of a thumping beat.
Though hard rock ftw in most games.

MW2 Soundtrack, duh.

Especially "Arkham Bridge", the electric violin on that track still gives me goosebumps 15 years later.

I can't believe there was only this response concerning MW2 soundtrack.

While I remember some pretty good pumpin' tracks on MW4, I still thinks MW2 soundtrack takes the whole cake and eats it when Mech combat is in question. Absolutely brilliant.

[ethics gradient]

Dark Souls and Battletech, two great tastes that go great together.

Warning. Brain effects ahead.
