Happy 30th anniversary to a brilliant classic, MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries, which was releasded on this day back in 1996.
I was a huge BattleTech fan in the 80s, so when the first MechWarrior was released by Activision in 1989, I couldn’t wait to play it. I thought it was okay but it didn’t really convince me. When the next MechWarrior series launched in 1995, I gave it another try.
My favorite from that mini series was MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries (1996). You play a MechWarrior who builds and leads a mercenary company, taking contracts from different factions across the Inner Sphere. The game lets you customize BattleMechs with weapons, armor, and heat management, true to the core concept of BattleTech.

Each crew has two elemental points carried. Mine are on the dashers.

Im not sure if hes trying to say "i've never played halo" or "i'm functionally illiterate"
Almost nothing about halo had Bible allusions.
Community note
Halo has numerous Biblical allusions including the Covenant, Flood (Noah parallel), Ark, Master Chief John-117 (John 1:17/Revelation 1:17), and Gravemind quote "Do not be afraid. I am peace; I am salvation."

Edick immediately chose an urban industrial sector to fill with explosive gas and destroy. All over a trial with Phelan Kill, who at this point, was chugging clan kool-aid.
Dont come at me with that weak stuff.
Clanners only go into cities to fight, when the honorless surats defending the place refuses to come out and fight honorably and instead insist on maximizing civilian casualties and collateral damage in the process.
This is why the succession wars where so destructive.

Turtle Bay massacre casualties: ~1M.
Kentaris IV massacre casualties: 52M.
"If you are going to commit war crimes, at least do it right"-DCMS motto (probably)
