There is nothing like strapping yourself into a multi-ton walking nuclear reactor to make you feel like a hero, quiaff? Well, you might at least feel a bit invincible, since it is a few steps up from green mail.
Choose your faction with this MSU, with tracks from MechWarrior 2 – 31st Century Combat, MW2: Ghost Bear’s Legacy, and MW2: Mercenaries. Are you part of the Warden Clan Wolf, intent on protecting humanity from threats yet unknown? Or are you part of the Crusader Clan Jade Falcon, ready to reassume your rightful place in the galaxy? Either way, the power and variety of the MechWarrior 2-era soundtrack is yours to command in this mostly-extended and partially-modular pack. Maybe it is not the omnimech of MSUs, but it is facing in that direction.
As a kid, I loved everything about this game. The music came with a bonus – the game CD could be played as a music CD, so you could take the songs with you! Of course, that was a secondary concern at times, given how important it was to cram in one more heat sink or one final medium pulse laser to ensure that my walking fission pile was fully capable of completing its next mission. But having gotten bogged down in a much larger pack, I went back and cut this for a bit of a breather, and the songs still pack that punch, nostalgia or no. Even if you did not play the game in the past, I do recommend giving it a listen.
Notable track(s): None of these are available in the ‘restream safe’ form, but fans of the games may want to opt in for several of the vocal tracks, which include sound clips from the game in addition to all of the amazing music. From the file select screen informing you “Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons Online”, to the voice-acted Clan Intro and Epilogue sequences (in the Prologue and Credits, naturally), along with several more. If you have nostalgia for the series at all, do not hesitate. Use all of these fun extras to make the pack that is fit for you.
