MechWarrior

I saw there wasn't anything in the PC board yet, so I made a thread about MechWarrior.

So, what's anybody's favorite Mechwarrior game? What clan do you fight for? What kind of weapons do you prefer? What is your favorite mech?

I like MechWarrior 2. I fight for Clan Jade Falcon. I like missiles especially long range missiles. My favorite mech is the Hellhound because it's fast and I can add jump jets to it and it allows a nice mix of weapons.

I've played MechWarrior on the SNES, MechWarrior 2: 31^st Century Combat, MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, and MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, and while the classic MechWarrior 2 still brings back fond memories, MechWarrior 4 was clearly the best of these.

I'm personally loyal to Clan Wolf.

Regarding weapons, I prefer energy weapons paired with a pile of heat sinks. I like energy weapons because I hate having limited ammo like you get with missiles or bullet-type weapons. Speed is also important to me, for which reason I don't like PPCs because once I fire I can go make a sandwich and come back in time to fire again, and I hate being unable to attack.

Regarding mechs, I like big mechs with lots of weapons and armor, but speed is again somewhat important to me. I tend to favor mechs in the 70 to 100 ton range, often using something like the Mad Cat/Timber Wolf, but I like to equip jump jets, especially with super-heavy 100-ton mechs that take forever to get around.

I never got into MechWarrior all that much, but I did play the second one a bit. I played as Wolf clan. I liked big, heavy mechs with lots of missiles. I liked to shoot their legs off.

Man, so many Clan Wolf folks around here.
