I found this old project that I had on the back burner. Since then I worked on shortening the walk time, other improvements, bit of a sound-score to hide where the communication tracks came from, but never rendered it and lost the location of some source files. This is the original version posted some time back for criticism and improvement suggestions.

This was recorded BEFORE Betty was installed and is using original Betty voice overs (Pre-MW2 girl).

Please enjoy. Sorry I never got around to the shortened, improved one.



Project was abandoned, but I am not above making a completely new one with current resources.

Credits.
Gameplay recorded by Koniving. Voices come from the pre-free-2-play version of Mechwarrior Online's trailer, as well as Mechwarrior 3. MWO Original Betty voices come from the closed beta October game files. Additional sound effects are also from closed beta sound files. Shutdown bug is responsible for the perfectly timed errors.

Please leave a comment with what you thought of it.

Mr Sparkle approves.

Cute. Least that's a start. Now we need to keep it from being buried.

Lol the single player experience is sitting back LRMing? Yawn! Haha jk

So if anyone doesn't get it this video is really about the sound, and AI reaction to in game events. I like it Koniving, except for the British guy. He's annoying. But I would really like to see a campaign put in. For $20 I think a lot of f2players would get it. If it was included with my founders pack.. Cough cough... Then that would be even better.

Heck, i'd buy a single-player campaign for MWO for $30 or $40 easy, and I'm completely F2P except mech bays!

Well yeah, I would too if I hadn't already spent $150 total (oh god, I've become one of THOSE guys ). If I had to pay another 40 to unlock campaign I wouldn't be too happy. Maybe they would accept my banked premium time as tribute lol

I'd gladly like to have a single player campaign and happily pay for it..

It's been said by Russ that PGI is using both this and Tactics to generate a more global interest into Mechwarrior / Battletech before it launches any big single player games.

For this I'm glad, because the original game that this (MWO) was going to be was being forced by Microsoft in the direction of a MechAssault 3 and xbox 360 exclusive. ....Ew.

Cheers that the rights are, for the most part, in PGI/IGP's hands.

Let's hope they hire more people to work on MWO soon, so we can churn the good stuff and fixes out faster for a more impressive launch.

Think he's Australian. But hey, you want me to throw rocks at him instead?

Anyway I think the most impressive moments are actually near the very end of it, in the Atlas's final stand. Teammate dies in a single and very strong blast. The Atlas calls for support. Support can't get to him. The final orders are to defend the base. "Even if you die on your post you will not abandon it to the enemy! Do you understand!?" And then that perfectly timed shutdown bug.

[Koniving]

Wish I could still recreate that shutdown bug at will, I'd like to do an all new video with that Mechwarrior's fate shown in every mechwarrior game's opening cinematic.
