Then played Mechwarrior 1 and loved it. Played it for months just fighting everything possible before realising there was a story to it lol.
1)Battletech Inception and the other one that was released that was similar.
2) Waited for Mechwarrior 2 to be released only having to wait 2 years longer than they said it would be released as another game was released (Star Siege?) and they had to go back to the drawing board.
3) Had a game store back in 1995 with networked machines for the public to pay and play on. Before Internet cafes exsisted. Matrox gave us a pre-release of their Matrox Mystique video card that came with a graphically upgraded version of Mech Warrior 2. That was awesome.
4) Then everything else in the series and addon packs including the Mech Commander series which i recently downloaded for free (because it is now and finished that a few days ago.
5)Mech Warrior Online ... To be Continued )
If you want to play Mech Commander 2 on Win 7 64bit, all you have to do is google it and download it from a official site which is easy to find. Then run it in compatability mode for WinXP SP3 and delete the Vidcard and Badcard files in the root of the install and it will run perfectly.

If you ran into a player named WerewolfX0 in Destruction that was me. I'd rock a Mad Dog variant and in MA1 I always took a loki.

Then started playing in the MU* games in the 90s. 3065 Sims were the funnest ... played that primarily for years. The best adaptation of the board game to realtime is the MU* games in my opinion.
I'm hoping this game tries to do the same, and not just become another "Doom-clone" with mech skins.

MW1 - I sucked at it.
MW2 + expansions - Loved every one of them. Especially GBL for the storyline and Mercs is still my favorite MW game.
MW3 - I really enjoyed but only used a few mechs (Whoo! Champion!!!). Most of it was too late of models for my tastes.
MW4 - played it for a minute on a friends computer, didn't get into it.
Mech Assault - I actually played quite a bit on my friends' Xboxes and had a good time.
MW 3050 for SNES - Was really bad at that one too. Something to do with heat management? lol I was no good at Exitebike as a kid either for the same reason. :/
As far as online I wasn't impressed with MW2. I had a friend who was in a clan online and seeing every game being a lag-shooting, jumpjet-fluttering, circle of death with tutus of LRMs circling every mech as they try to out medium pulse laser each other destroyed the feel of the game to me.
EDIT: Watching people try to drive their Madcats' big toes into each others' cockpits was pretty hilarious though.
I had more fun in Mechwarrior 3 on my local area network with friends, but when the games became too many med-pulse fights again I gave a Bushwacker the Hunchback IIC treatment and the fights became really cheap cheese-fests after that. >.<

Started playing mw2 online in late 97. I remember my first game still. It was that desert map with the super tall plateaus and bridges connecting them all at the top(MW2 had some real cool maps ) I was in a nova with no idea how to lag shoot and got creamed! I joined the clan I remain a part of today on that day also, and we have played in a bunch of planetery/resource leagues since.
Oh, I also played mpbt:3025.

Revenge was way too hard. Just sayin'. You either got insanely lucky with your hits or got pwnt. I've still never finished it.
Mechwarrior 2 came next, but Mercenaries was where it was at. This franchise would mean nothing special to me if not for that game. It gave that feeling that there was a bigger universe out there, even if you were only a small part of it. Whatever, it rocked. The customization was absolute, and it cost you a few pennies, sometimes more than an entire mech. Win.
Somewhere over the next decade and a half I've played MW3 and 4, have the disks for 4:Mercs and the mektek installation. I've never played any Mechwarrior online, and it wasn't until recently I've heard of this MPBT(?) 3025 - always had a retarded internet connection until adsl came around.
Only late last year I found out that my stepbrother is a massive old fan of the novels, and he had no idea that there were pc games. I was stunned, yet was able to inform him of the probable existence of this game. Once this thing comes out we'll have at least one more hardcore player.
Since then I've read some novels, which I didn't know existed previously. All of this only makes me more excited/critical about this release.
BRING IT!

For all the faults diehard BT fanboys lay on MW4, it had (still has) the best online competitive scene of any mechwarrior game to date. Keep playing, get good and you'll kick *** in MWO come launch. I would play it right now if I wasn't completely burnt out on all things MW4.

As it turns out, there was a good reason for that.
Joined up with a unit. Made some friends, made some enemies, had some E-drama, and even took part in the competitive scene for a little bit. Good times.

OMG, I'd forgotten about those games - as soon as I looked 'em up on google, I started to have flashbacks. :-)
Yup...played those too. :-p
