And I never played the oldest MW game I played was MW2, I saw that box in a store with a Madcat and the big letters, "MECHWARRIOR 2" and under it "31^ST CENTURY COMBAT," and I just knew I had to have it.

That being said MW3 was my fav, and it has by far got most of my hours. Mechcommander 2 was the only one that was a day-1 buy that I specifically waited for and played like crazy when I got it. MWO could be the only other day-1 "buy."

Totally moving this...

and yes, I remember upgrading my CGA monitor to an EGA monitor so I could play MechWarrior 1. I think this is like the third time I might have said this in a thread or two but I'm not hunting down the others to merge it.

I get it. You took personal offense and now feel a baser need to retaliate however you can. Day 1 stuff

I was venting my frustration with the quality of many posts on the board, actually. I've seen stuff here that's worse than a pre-teen's text messages.

Sorry if you misunderstood.

I was a touch young when MW1 was out. My older brother played it, and I loved watching the big robots, and him repairing them. Loads of fun. I would give the game a go but was really awful at it. MW2: 31st Century Combat was the first mech game I really sunk my teeth into. Loved that game. My ride was the Nova because it had the most weapons. I didn't really get that there were better weapons than medium lasers at first, haha! Then came MW2: Mercs. That game was great. I was still pretty awful and I'd struggle to really have any sort of a lance before the clans came in and mopped the floor with me. After a few play throughs I'd managed to figure things out enough to be able to combat the clans.

MW3 was different, I was in high school at that point and had my head on straight(er) about how video games work. Honestly the MFB made that game super easy. MW4 was a great time too. Loved the campaigns in all 3 titles. Though it always made me sad that lights and mediums were sidelined so quickly, as I do really love the smaller chassis. Can't wait for MWO, I'm not sure I'll ever pilot anything larger than a medium!

I was introduced to the BattleTech franchise with MechWarrior 2. My family got our first PC around 1998-1999 and MW2 was one of the first games I played on it. I had a lot of memories from playing both the Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon campaigns. Sometimes I would experiment with different weapons/equipment and see what kind of chaos would happen, my favorite is using jump jets and raining fire down on targets with PPC's.

MechWarrior 3 and MechCommander were also memorable games because you and your lance were up against an enemy with superior tech and numbers; it felt like an ultimate test as a mech pilot. I can remember facing an Annihilator early in MW3's campaign when I'm only in a Bushwacker or Shadow Cat, it was difficult but I appreciated the necessity to change tactics/strategies for every battle.

MechWarrior 4 was more or less the same experience, even though I enjoyed the single player campaign it didn't leave a lasting impression as previous iterations. I didn't bother playing the MechAssault series since I heard they took out the simulation elements and made the game more arcade like.

I'm really glad the BattleTech franchise is making comeback and looking forward to MechWarrior Online's release!
