Get ready for action as we look at MechWarrior 3! This is a series that has always interested me as I have always had a fascination with mechs! The game was originally released in and was a pretty big hit back in the day. Of course, when you go back and look at a 3D shooter from , you have to set your expectations accordingly, but I did actually have a lot of fun playing with this as I put it through its paces for the first time in many years.
There is a story here that serves as the motivation for getting through the campaign, but it is not exactly groundbreaking stuff. In MechWarrior 3 as the name suggests you play as a badass mech. You are one of many that are responsible for defending the Inner Sphere from an evil clan.
It has been a long time since I played the original two games, but from what I do remember the stakes in this game feel a lot smaller than they did in the first two. I know you may laugh to hear this, but back in , this game was a big step forward in the world of 3D graphics. It was a bit of a beast to get running and the 3D world which may look a bit sparse and low on detail by today's standard was very well received back in the day.
I love the mech designs in this game and the way you can customize pretty much every aspect of your mech from the color to the weapons that it has is really cool. I actually feel that the game looks fairly decent for its age. For me, the best part about MechWarrior 3 is the Instant Action mode. In this mode, you pick your mech and you are free to tinker with it in many ways. You can set it so that it is very powerful.
You then can pick the enemies you want and just have at it. While this is full of mindless destruction, it has always been a mode that I have found strangely relaxing.
It is just you and your mech blowing away a ton of other mechs! This is one of those games that requires a lot of buttons as you play. Controlling the mech to make it walk is simple in that it is keyboard and mouse. However, many other buttons of the keyboard will do stuff as well. You can customize this, but there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to controlling the mechs in this game so be sure to keep that in mind before you jump in here.
I know that by today's standards, MechWarrior 3 may not look like the greatest or fanciest game ever. However, I still feel that there is some fun to be had here. Granted the campaign is not that great, but I feel the instant action mode makes up for this. Mutton 1 point. If anyone knows a fix please let me know. CommanderHunter 0 point. MW Lover 0 point. I had such a nostalgia for this game, and after so long of wanting to replay it, I finally got in running in Windows There's a few glitches off the bat, but mainly I found that you can't bind keys to fire specific weapon groups!
You have to select weapon groups and then fire them which is really stupid. I guess I just didn't realize how much this sucked back in the day, but after playing MW4 and MWO, I just can't bring myself to play like that, it's just too annoying. Night Thastus 0 point.

And we must have spent more than 2 days straight playing it it was a game ahead of it's time that's what gaming is all about. Jorik 1 point. MechWarrior 3 has had a troubled development to say the least, with various team personnel changes somewhat prolonging development time. Early glimpses of the new 3D engine have been encouraging, although the increased detail of the landscapes, coupled with a progressive perspective, mean that the frame rate is struggling to get into double figures.
That said, it's still very early days the game isn't due for release until spring next year , and the code is yet to be optimised for speed. From what we've seen so far it looks like being the best MechWarrior game yet, but then it's got an awful lot to live up to, flexibility, maintains Yeo.
We've tried to create new environments in Tiberian Sun which justify the introduction of new units. The weather and conditions are now an important part of the gameplay. Ion storms now sweep across the globe, and they not only affect how the game looks and feels, but also how it plays.
They've developed 'Mechs out of necessity, because they're forced to adopt guerrilla tactics to survive. Of course, this development in the Earth's environment has allowed us to develop some really cool units. Our 'Mech units are definitely some of the coolest units in the game. There's no doubt that 'Mechs are cool. However, their potential as effective mobile assault 'vehicles' is not beyond doubt.
First of all, what happens if they fall over? Most traditional 'Mech designs are extremely tall and top-heavy - not exactly a recipe for stability, is it? In contrast, modern-day battle tanks are designed to have a low centre of gravity and be of a limited stature, which enables them to use cover more effectively and traverse difficult terrain without toppling. Of course, the real argument for 'Mechs over tanks is that they can negotiate more difficult terrain, because they can effectively step over or even climb over the more challenging obstacles that get in their way.
Indeed, this is one argument for them being so tall, but it does raise some other issues. Think back to when you last played a game with 'Mechs in it and try and recall the last time you encountered something - be it a jagged hillock or a smoking pile of rubble - that your 'Mech could get over but a tank couldn't?
Tricky, isn't it? Add to this the fact that, to date, most 'Mech games have been based within environments that are flatter than the proverbial pancake and you begin to ask yourself: why bother with 'Mechs at all?
