So some good Mech battles got me nostalgic for Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries (which was my first introduction to BattleTech video games).

The list of mechs available in there was awesome, too bad it takes so much more effort to make today's advanced 3D computer models and stuff, I hope one day many/all of them are available in MWO.

Some especially cool ones:
Thug (wasn't the best to pilot, but still cool)
Mauler (replace the AC/2 and it was pretty good)
Annihilator (although I think this wasn't obtainable in single player campaign, only in multi-play and instant action)
Javelin
Victor (AC/20 didn't seem to do much damage in Mercs, but still a very cool mech)

Not to mention all the awesome clan mechs (which were SO fun and satisfying to acquire in the single player campaign both before and after the 3dfx patch that changed the scrapping from fixed/scripted to dynamic based on shooting out legs and cockpits).

Edit: Sorry for the HTML tags, I was doing some copy/pasting and that got in there somehow.

I just picked up a copy of this on Amazon because some of the foil flecked off my old copy. Can't wait to see if I can get it to run in DosBox. Wish me luck!

My favorite part of MW2: Mercs was the soundtrack.. Seriously. "Snake City" was such a great song. I grew up on 31st Century, not Mercs, but Mercs had the superior soundtrack of the two. I never really got to play GBL.

I'll bite, here's my favorites:

IS
- Thug
- Crab
- Trebuchet
- Orion

Clan
- Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)
- Stormcrow (Ryoken)
- Linebacker
- Fire Moth (Dasher)

I always loved those Clan Wolf missions when they invade and you have to escape from the prison camp.
My other favorites are the Dread Legion missions where you get a shot at securing a SL era weapon cache.

And ofcourse the mission where you have to steal the Kodiak
