MW4 is another. PPCs are much faster. I don't think, that exist better mech than nice Mad Cat with 2 C/ER-PPK, 2 LSR15 and some pulse lasers. Also Mercenaries can be played on net!

Well i remember in MW3 my friend creating an annihilator with I believe 6 ER PPC's and a whole lot of cooling and stuff.... it was realy impressive.. how he just kept firing and didn't overheat. My manouverable mech with fast lasers and homing rockets was able to dodge his blasts though and kill him :)

This is problem on games with heat management=off. Everyone is using Nova Cat, only mech capable of carrying 4 C/ER-PPCs. I haven't played MW3, isn't there weapons arsenal limited by types?

well yes, the madcat can only carry 4, the daisy and the Annihilator are the 100 ton mechs. They are the only ones that can carry so many. But though the annihilator is lesser armored than the daishy it has more weight left to put cooling on..

When you play?

MW4 is very inspired by Dune. Just look at those palace in intro. Especially in story. Noble House Dresari (-> Atreides) was attacked by evil Steiners (-> Harkonnen) supported by remnants of Clan Wolf (-> Sardaukars). Only son of Duke (!!!) Dresari, Ian (-> Muad'Dib) survived and taken over control of people's (-> Fremen) rebellion against Steiner aggression.

Clan Wolf was the most powerful Clan. Most IlKhans, highest leaders of whole Clan culture, were from Wolves, also bloodline of Clan founder Kerensky is part of it.

But in invasion was Clan factioned into two parts: one smaller joined invasion, second, led by IlKhan Ulric Kerensky stayed in its territory. Only Clan Wolf was against invasion on Grand Council in 3047 because of "lack of warriors" and "external threat".

Invasion was led by Clans Jade Falcons, Smoke Jaguars and Nova Cats. They attacked Draconis Combine, part of Inner Sphere with worst relationship with other IS nations, but those helped Draconis and outnumbered Clans (MechWarrior II). After battle of Tukayid (3052, MechWarrior III) was granted cease-fire between Clans and IS states, according to Clan law to 3067.

Jade Falcons wanted to replace "failed" IlKhan Ulric and he refused. By Clan law, Clans Wolf and Jade Falcons fought in Trial of Refusal, where both Clans were decimated. Many Wolves after defeat fled to Inner Sphere under protection of Federated Commonwealth. But also, after-Trial Council voted for Lincoln Osis from Smoke Jaguars as new IlKhan, who ruled until his Clan was decimated by prince Victor Steiner-Davion's forces (MechCommander).

Wow you really studied on this or something?

I only know about the storyline of Mw4 and Black Knight. Bought Mw3 a couple of months ago but never really got into the campaigns because the controlls are rather different.

As I know, MWs are based on world "Battletech", which was created as table-game by FASA Corporation in 80's. But in recent times I've seen that FASA is trying to popularize it. In I think 1995 was released 3rd part of Gray Death Legion novel by W.Keith. Very nice, it's about 30 years before MW4.

For more information about Battletech universe check out these sites:
