And people say this game isn't immersive, no other game in the series gives this exact scenario playing out so often. Like you can just strap on some LRMs, bust out your joy stick, and go pubbing in FP and you'll have this happen to you like every match.

MC spreads the damage over several mechs instead of focusing on one.

His lurms have no min range tho.

Which is why MW4 after all these years is still better than MWO.

Go Mad Dog go!

I used to think this intro is super cool and hit right at the feels...but just now I lol-ed at the LRMs reference. And the Uziel used to be super cool.

p/s: The moment you are the only one left in Faction Play. :P

He's in a clan mech, MWO clearly best simulator experience.

The part that gets me now is that this is an IS unit with a lance of a Raven, a Cougar, a Shadowcat and a Mad Dog. Might as well just be filthy Clanners!

Also that the Raven and Cougar couldn't just, I don't know, run the hell out of the hangar.

Raven clearly running minimum size engine for more LURMs and Cougar was AFK for the first few minutes of the match.

The most important detail is that Sigma Lead is from Clan Davion.

Now quickly, tell me who our local LRM Boating Davion is?





Immersion level just went up 1,000%.

The Shadow Cat Pilot said that the attackers were part of her old unit, so both were Davions, both also had mixes of IS and Clan mechs (wo its MWO quickplay).

Also, 4v4 situation, 4 pilots all stick together and are working on the objective, the others split up, some camp their spawn, two others walk out alone in the open, ends in one guy fighting 4 ending in a 4-0 stomp.

Man I'm living the dream.

MC says the attackers are "probably 5th Donegal [Guards]" so technically they're Steiner.

Steiners who somehow managed to buy two brand new Nova Cats.

Heck, the only I.S. mechs in this entire video are the Raven and the Uziel, and the Uziel barely counts since it was invented for this game and looks like it should be a Clan mech.

IMO this is probably the worst Mechwarrior/Mechcommander intro.

I miss the times when good games had actual actors and immersion.. Those were the best.. Today's games have lost that in my opinion..
