MechWarrior 2 paid Activision Mac/OS Classic Version 1.2 Full Specs Download.com has chosen not to provide a direct-download link for this product and offers this page for informational purposes only. Dec 14, 2019 Just a quick and simple rundown on the installation and settings to setup the Mechwarrior 2: Widescreen mod using the Dosbox Frontend - D-Fend Reloaded. Please refer to other tutorial videos on how to add games to D-Fend Reloaded. This video only focuses on the setup aspects once it's been added. MechWarrior Online brings the seminal MechWarrior franchise some of the best gameplay in the series, with huge multiplayer battles and strong sim gameplay that may seem slow-paced at first, but really involves plenty of lightning-fast decisions and careful tactics, no matter what kind of Mech you play.
MechWarrior is a series of video games set in the fictional universe of BattleTech.
Games[edit]
Within the MechWarrior games, players take control of a single BattleMech and combat other BattleMechs, tanks, infantry, and more, from within the cockpit of their machine. A third-person alternate view is available in MechWarrior 2, 3, 4, Online, and 5. Both MechWarrior 2 and MechWarrior 3 were Origins Award winners, taking Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Computer Game 1995 and Best Action Computer Game 1999 respectively. MechWarrior: Living Legends was the recipient of the ModDB2009 Mod of the Year[1] and - due to rules preventing one mod from winning the same award twice[2] - an Honorable Mention in 2010. MechWarrior: Living Legends is not an actual MechWarrior mod, but rather a complete conversion of a completely unrelated game, Crysis Warhead.[3]
In-universe timeline[edit]
- MechWarrior takes place at the end of the Third Succession War.
- MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, Ghost Bear's Legacy, Mercenaries, and MechWarrior Online deal with the events soon before, during, and soon after the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere.
- MechWarrior 3 and MechCommander are concerned with different parts of 'Operation Bulldog', the combined Inner Sphere counterattack against the Clans, targeted at the Smoke Jaguars.
- MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, its expansions, and MechCommander 2 deal with the Federated Commonwealth Civil War.
- MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries takes place during the Third Succession War.[4]
Live-action film[edit]
Electric Entertainment, a Hollywood production company founded by Dean Devlin, currently holds the option to produce a feature film based on the MechWarrior universe.[5] In 2003, Devlin approached Paramount to pitch the project but failed to receive funding. The project is currently in development limbo.[citation needed]
