MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat
About the Game
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat is a sci-fi mech combat game and successor to the original MechWarrior . While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. players can customize 'Mechs in order to use less than the "par" force in order to get a higher rating.
Gameplay & Core Systems
players take the role of an genetically engineered Clan MechWarrior. The Clans are invading the Inner Sphere, and players joins either the Wolf Clan or the Jade Falcon Clan as they pursue their own agenda against the Inner Sphere and other Clans. Taking an advanced Omnimech into battle against all comers, players have to score high warrior ratings (by using fewer and/or smaller 'Mechs than needed, completing secondary objectives, etc.) to get a chance at a promotion trial where they face superior odds in an arena. A lot of the 'Mechs' core mechanics are sped up, the maps are smaller so running into enemies is more of a factor, the enemies are weaker but more plentiful, and there are now power-ups scattered around. The 'Mech lab has been removed and 16 new missions have been added.
Standout Features
- Khan: If very successful, they can make it all the way up to the rank of Khan, the leader of a Clan.
- A major part of the experience is full 3D environments, and when 3D accelerator cards came along, special versions of the game were created to take advantage of 3D texturing.
