A little less than halfway through the game, I reached a mission that kept bugging out. Multiplayer is quite robust with internet play and plenty of options and different game modes.Well, last time I tried to play and record this game, it was in a custom campaign. You can also salvage downed mechs (including any you lost) and perhaps sell them for further profit. If they gain sufficient experience, they may gain a level and win a special expertise (such as LRM, Laser, etc.). Plenty of things to blow up on the ground, from fuel tanks (which causes BIG explosions) to ammo dumps (more big explosions), to plenty of civilian buildings.Īfter you fulfill your mission objectives (primary and secondary available), the pilots get medals and campaign ribbons if applicable based on performance, and gain experience.

Terrain is full 3D with plenty of trees and other objects, from infantry and battlearmor to trucks and other transport vehicles. The action is in real-time (pausable), and the full 3D view is rotatable in all directions (up/down/full 360 pan) and zoomable.

Capture military installations to get better weapons. Take over the sensor control station to obtain sensor data. Capture turret stations to turn the owner's weapons against them, or blow up the generators, or the control station, or the turrets. Capture resource buildings or resource trucks for more 'support points'. Call in support elements such as artillery and airstrikes, scout choppers and sensor probes, even a salvage team to salvage downed mechs. On the full 3D battlefield, you will control movement, targeting, and engagement tactics of your mechs. It takes good planning to match the right mech to the right pilot. Each pilot can have zero or more specialties, depending on experience level, and those skills can significantly increase his or her effectiveness.

You can then refit the mechs by changing its loadout to customize for the pilot.Īfter you have chosen your mechs and properly outfitted them, it's time to assign your pilots. You can purchase new mechs if you have enough C-Bills, but most of your acquisitions will come from salvage of downed mechs. Once you have selected a mission, you need to outfit your mechs. MechCommander 2 is a game of real-time tactical mech combat, and a sequel to the original MechCommander. It also offers plenty of opportunities for a veteran mercenary commander. Not an American user? DescriptionOn the world of Carver V, the FedCom civil war between House Davion and House Steiner threatens to pull plenty of innocent bystanders into the maelstorm.
