Hihos .

I would be interested in checking out some of the "Classic" ( = older ) MechWarrior games, as well as any really good Fanmade BT PC/Netbased Game .

What I am looking at at the moment is MegaMek/Mechwars .

Do you have any recommendation, and why do you recommend it ?

ps.: anyone know whether Neveron will ever make it back ?

For 'older' Mechwarrior titles i would suggest:

Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries
Fantastic campaign (Detailed contracts with contract duration period, it's kinda cool that if you make one choice you could potentially miss another due to that duration).

Amazing mech selection:
Spoiler

Reload and Repair feature (realistic expenses)

Graphics are actually not that bad

Jumpjets that are actually jumpjets

AMAZING soundtrack (Jeehun Hwang is awesome)

Only bugs i can think of are if you fire LRMs out of a Mad Dog's ST it'll probably hit your center... and that autocannons can be a little glitchy at some times and not do any damage (Uncommon).

MGs are also super deadly up close, if you build a 12 MG Mad Dog it'll shred 100 tonner's CT in seconds (joke build, but it works).

This is if i had to pick just one game from Mechwarrior's past, 3 is equally fun but more buggy especially now.
