A Bannerlord style game based in Battletech would be great. Going from either a lance captain or mechwarrior with his own mech, creating your own, inheriting or winning your own mercenary company. Expanding till you can get your own drop ship. The Leopard is nice and all but I want to get a Colossus or Union and keep expanding till I can create my own periphery power with jump ships.

Remembers playing original Mechwarrior: Mercenaries as a kid > manages to squeeze 5 or 6 ER PPC on a mech > drops into battle > fire alpha strike once > instantly explodes as reactor overloads.... Ahhh the memories....

Glad you're enjoying the game. I do the models for the Clan invasion mod and voice Coyotes Mission Mod. Keep bringing this game to more people. It really is a great game.

The fact there are big AI vs AI battles you can join immediately makes me want this game. I love huge battles in games where you don't control everything and get to enjoy being right in the thick of it.

Seeing all the live and effort of Modders to bring a game to shine for free makes me wonder why any dev would reject this option. Really brings many games from 80 % to 100 % and beyond.

"It's just a Charger, it's kind of a trash bag mech, so I feel no fear in my heart."

Man, are you lucky that Charger pilot was too coked up to aim properly, those SRM-6x and AC-20 would've put some fear in your heart (along with some shrapnel) had they hit

Mech warrior 2 (or was it 3) was my intro. I had a very basic joystick that couldn't handle all the controls. So in order to play properly a friend of mine handled the keyboard while I handled the joystick.

It was amazing and I've only experienced it again in "lovers in space".

Side Note: I couldn't talk too much smack at my friend because he wasn't afraid to use the "shut down" Mech button.

Salvage mission officer: "Scan complete. Nothing here, but some dusty old bottles of Timbiqui Dark."
*scuffling and metal banging noises*
"Uh Sir, Fahad Arazad and most of the engineering department just jumped out the Leopard. Was it something I said?"

I adore this game. Of course it has to be modded, but there are few games with such replay value that doesn't require mods.

Hearing SplatterKat talking smack while stomping across the battlefield is pure joy. Thank you good sir! o7

Damn, your mention of Mechwarrior 2 really brought me back. To this day, "Iron Piston" still gives me goosebumps. I forgot what the mission was, but I remember that it was on a dark planet without an atmosphere, and we had to defend this bio-dome or the like. I remember that it was grueling, chaotic, and utterly riveting.

For anyone interested in modding this game for starters: look for "yet another mod list+". It is a vanilla+ collection having most mods from this video and some more, nothing altering the game drastically, just general improvements and QoL. It is pretty much compatibility-revisioned from time to time and includes load order.

[Sportan]

This is one of my favorite videos for you to cover! Me and my partner really dived headlong into this game some time after it came out, and we even took part in helping with some of the mods that you're using in the video! Particularly in lending my voice to the Pilot's Overhaul mod - If you find me ingame, I'm the voice for 'Bulwark'!

In case anyone is interested the mod run down starts at 39:14

The Pontiac Sunfire (of mechs) was a damn good $300 car that lasted me for years, Splat. You take that back, you take it back right now.

[paultowers]

This is by far one of my favourite uploads that you have created in part because of your passion for this genre and they way you conveyed it . I could imagine myself in a fellow mech pilot your squad listening to your funny quips as you lay seige to the enemy 👌👍👍
Thanks splat you da man

Everything about this video and comment section brings joy to my heart! Can’t believe it’s been 30+ years since I played the first mechwarrior pc game in college, and now you’re making my buy MW5! We also played a ton (pun intended) of tabletop Battletech with heavy customization of our mechs, so all this banter about AC-20s, LRMs and Gauss rifles makes me smile for days! Keep it up!

[RupertAndCheese]

I love the Catapult, it's so cute! Like the cockpit of a jumbo jet hacked off, strapped to some chicken legs, wish firework boxes glued on.

[ameliamohsin]

Always nice to see Splat sharing something that he's currently into, hopefully you do more gameplay series like you used to like in the good old days again.

[cyrusrahimi]

Mechwarrior 3 was my introduction to pc gaming back when it came out. 5 year old me didnt quite understand what was happening but i knew it sure was cool. Glad to see the series get some love

In America in the 80's this was the original giant robot game. At least if you go by American releases, it's original version "Battledroids" predated the American release of Robotech by a year. So for a lot of us, this was our first introduction to giant robot combat.

39:18 Is where Splat shows the mods.

Splat nice video. Thanks for making the video and sharing the mods.
