Mwo civil war update series#

You play as Ian Dresari, trying to regain your birthright after a cousin affiliated with House Steiner betrays you. Taking place on the planet Kentares IV and its moon, the plot's premise is similar to that of the first game, albeit much more involved. The fourth game, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance (2000) is set during the FedCom Civil War.

The expansion pack, Pirate's Moon, feature a new campaign letting you play as either a raiding pirate or a member of the Eridani Light Horse, the mercenary unit deployed to stop said pirates. Due to a surprise attack, half of the Inner Sphere force is destroyed before it even makes landfall on the planet. MechWarrior 3 (1999) takes place three years after MechWarrior 2 and in the aftermath of Operation Bulldog (the setting of the first MechCommander) on the planet named Tranquil, where a task force code-named Damocles is assigned to take down several major Clan installations while the newly-reformed Star League deals with the rest of the Clans (this is the Counterattack and Great Refusal arc). In-between the release of the Ghost Bear's Legacy and Mercenaries expansions, the Harmony Gold lawsuit over the Unseen and the following out of court settlement happened, causing those Mechs to be removed from all subsequent official games. It's technically a prequel to the other MechWarrior 2 games, as it covers events in the previous decade. A standalone sequel, titled MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, places you as an Inner Sphere mercenary, giving you the choice of running your own unit or joining another one. The expansion pack, Ghost Bear's Legacy, followed after this conflict as the Draconis Combine attacks (you guessed it) Clan Ghost Bear. The player is given the option to play as a young warrior on either side, rising rapidly in rank as you led the campaign against the opposing Clan. Five years have passed since a cease-fire between the Clans and the Inner Sphere, however, the circumstances have changed. The second game, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat (1995), was set during the Refusal War in 3057 between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon. A version of it also exists on the SNES, just Mode 7 and sprite based.

This game, published in 1989, is notable for featuring full three-dimensional gameplay (predating games like Ultima Underworld), as well as crude squad AI (which would be refined in later games in the series). The first game, MechWarrior, set roughly around 3025, placed you in the shoes of Gideon Braver Vandenburg, who is out to reclaim his birthright after his family was murdered. Battlemechs are handled like real weapons of wars, pilots die pointlessly, combat is brutal - entire torso sections and arms are blasted out to disable weapons, legs get shot out from underneath mechs, mechs explode from the inside from overheating their fusion reactor, and inside that armored cockpit you are just an unarmored and very squishy human. With cutting edge graphics and fairly intense combat, these games probably brought more people into the universe than anything else.
