MW2 is easily the best. I literally spent hours reading all the background info they put in the game in the info libraries, the text between missions, the battle reports etc etc.
Mercenaries (MW2 variety) is a close second, with that last battle in Luthien against the Smoke Jags and Nova Cats being a true test of stamina.
Not to mention MW2's mech lab was the closest to the actual battletech game.
MW3 was good if you had multiplayer as the graphics were pretty sweet. Single player was ridiculous tho. Lance vs several Smoke Jag clusters...uh-huh...
Never played MW4
Mech Assault is fun for multiplayer, but too arcade like for me.
Best Mechwarrior game

Yes. I got MW4 because the demo was rather fun, and in fact the gameplay is nice. The mechlab dynamic does add something to the game which I think is nice (though I really rather liked the MPBT series with its nigh-endless 3025 variants), but MW4 Mercs > MW4: Vengeance + MW4: Black Knight.Shinova wrote:There are two separate, standalone Mechwarrior 4s I believe, Vengeance and Mercenaries. I've heard better things about Mercenaries than Vengeance.
Do not meddle in the affairs of insomniacs, for they are cranky and can do things to you while you sleep.

The main problem with MW4 is the damn X-Pulse laser. Mercs fixed the problem somewhat by increasing the weapon's heat. But in a no heat game, everyone is driving a nova cat with reflective armor and a full load of XPLs. But, Merc also added the spammist weapon yet - the rotory autocannons. The Fafnir and Daishi can easily four of those suckers.
Artillery. Its what's for dinner.

Bah. The best MW4 'Mech config is an Atlas loaded down with Long Toms, Thunderbolts, and Artillery Beacons
