Drove this for 3 years (Battlefield 2142)
Piloted this for 2 years until it was cancelled (Exsteel)
Piloted this these beauties for about quite a few years no doubt (MechWarrior 3/4)
My personal favorite Mecha/FPS game to date, and what started me all on the techno/destructive thirst as shown above, Heavy Gear 2. Learning how to pilot a gear would make MechWarrior kids scream and cry for their mommies.No other game to date has as hard, and most efficient control schemes as this one above. *Yes it is old and it came out in 98, but I was in there fighting while all the kids fought inside of their shoebox fps combat games that consisted of only a few feet between good guys and bad guys aka Counterstrike / Unreal. This game had maps so big, it took 45 minutes to get from one side to another, and probably over 4 hours to completely make a circle, all of this was online too. Before Battlefield, I hated most fps games.
Posted under general mecha interests, a mmo I still play, and love (not the small population, but the insane learning curve, yes people I love hard games) Anarchy Online released circa 2001, started playing barely in 06, but getting to level 200, shadow level 20, lost eden level 60, and Alien level 30 makes a max level Mists of Panda Land Warcrafter look like "Droopy-Eyed Armless Children" - Charlie Sheen #Winning
Anyways, to throw some fuel on the fire I would like to say, I don't care if you played since day one closed beta, I can probably still kick your butt in any type of bipedal lumbering machine in the game or probably most any game. - Obligatory Elitist Comment ( Which is why I prefaced my initial history ).
Anyways, I am a nice guy, but I am a hard core gamer, and usually I don't play with people who aren't serious about their gaming.
My favorite Heavy Gear variant :
Razorback with dual heavy bazooka's, light rail gun, and a full compliment of 2x medium and 1x heavy field mortars. 55K TV
Daishi : 3 Clan Ultra AC 20's full Fibro Ferb Armor.
L5 Riesig : FTW
PS: Where my Gear Heads @_!

This game takes more skill to play than any other I know. Especially the 3D space battles like this.

Also notice the arrows on screen > < they represent your bottom legs, while your mouse controls your upper torso, no other game does that, it's the only game I have played you don't have to turn around and or slow down to shoot almost behind you. It's also why that guy had bad aim in the video, because learning to sync your top with your bottom when turning to shoot can be tough, but if you got as good as I have, you can freaken go into sms mode (skate mode) right up the side of a ramped cliff engage to walk mode jump right over the target, doing a 360 spin fire jump jet, then engage sms right as your bazooka rounds are landing on the target and you get to keep on rolling by.

Australian_ Like Hawken_ Then join the Drop Bears! Or actually maybe don't, since it's kind of dead.

I thought that Mechwarrior was the best until I played HG2 and promptly forgot all about MW.

I hope to see those old mechs pilots again here.
I have 41 years and I come riding these Battlemechs approximately 15 years ago.
I hope to learn from younger generations of pilots and also teach some of my experience in combat tactics with mechs.
Greetings!!
