MECHWARRIOR 2

 

This was the very first commercial game I got, and it was won at a trivia contest. I was stupefied by the incredible graphics, and it took me awhile to recover. It was the first experience I ever had with Battletech. Of course, it also has its weak points.

  1. Only 30 missions, 15 for each side.

  2. Trials of Grievance do not include strike missions on enemy targets.

  3. Difficult to make the target reticle line up with the target.

  4. 'Mechs do not fall over when they lose a leg.

  5. PPCs move more like ballistic weapons than like the true energy weapons they are.

 

All in all, another excellent game. I have several created 'Mechs, including my personal favorite Arctic Fox.
