for all those who might get confused. This is a stand alone game, and its not related to mechwarrior 5. The way the mechwarrior series works is that there are two series. Mechwarrior and the mechwarrior mercenaries games. for example Mechwarrior 2/Mechwarrior 2 mercenaries , mechwarrior 4 vengance/mechwarrior 4 mercenaries and in this case mechwarrior 5 clans/ mechwarrior 5 mercenaries. The diference is that in the regular game the campaing and story is lineal. You finish a mission, unlock the next one, on and on until you reach the ending. In the mercenaries games you can travel to diferent worlds, take jobs, make money, puchase mechs and weapons, hire pilots, grind, buy better stuff etc. Why do they share the same number if they are not related at all? because it uses the same ingame assets. For example mechwarrior 2 mercenaries uses the game models and game engine from mechwarrior 2, same with 4. Now normaly the regular game is released first and then the mercenaries game, but in this case the mercenaries game came first before the regular game. So thats why this game is named mechwarrior 5. because it uses the same assets as mechwarrior 5 mercenaries with some changes here and there specialy on the UI . In fact all IS mechs models are the exact same.
Its a shame the clan games have always been liniar would be awesome to have an invasion mode where you choose planets to fly to to advance your control area and front lines etc like mercs games
Thanks, that honestly answered my main questions about this and then some. Cheers!
@@EODChaosWo1f but then everyone will just go to Terra, damn the physics and logistics. :v
@@9f81rsd00 you just cant go too far outside your area of control, only planets inside your territory for defensive missions and planets just past the front lines. that way they can have it where you can be of any clan and be a part of one of the 3 invasion lines. Mechwarrior 2 ends with your chosen clan on the moon of terra.
Because MW5 Clammers is made with UE5, and Mercs is with UE4. Literally different game engines. Its as simple as that lmao
Smokejaguar calling someone fascist is a bit rich.
Clans are more communist. Clan warriors have no families, free love, no private property, and no gender roles.
Was going to comment this.
Pot meet kettle
Even smoke jaguar is a meritocratic state. Although an oppressive one. When it comes to autocratic nations.. Kurita is much closer.
@@mnaglich Sure. It's a meritocracy. So long as you were born in a tube, to the right social caste
Geeze. Someone better call Space Comcast and let them know the clans are back
Starlink Clan ... Musky ComStar
@@brandonbowerstxI kinda see what you're saying but it's a bit disjointed to make much sense. Still! ComStar coming for your unpaid bills!
Call the Galactic Phone Company!
@@holden5478Would be amazing if they made Tukayyid the final mission almost like the ending of Halo Reach. You can't actually win, it just goes on forever.
@@ChiefCrewin Wrong crusader clan....😂
Clans, "How dare you resort to barbaric succession wars!"
Also Clans, "Our Civil War was even worse than yours!"
Except that was not the Clans that was the Exodus forces before the Clans restored order
War of Reaving Era: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."
@@PeferG17 that's just "we won the civil war and changed our names"
How long is the gameplay time?
"centuries of destruction and barbarism"
The Star League led humanity fell into ruin and bombarded each other with nuclear weapons for hundreds of years while the clan originators left to avoid its destruction. This is their return. Their mandate. To restore humanity to its former glory as the Star League.
Of course it would be Clan Wolf that would eventually be key in the rise of the Second Star League 😎
@@wolfsquad-fenrirofficial7376Third one, in truth. The Inner Sphere has a brief go at it too, though it falls apart fairly quickly
@@jaytay5909 Star League was gone at that point. The Ameris Civil War killed off the legitimate rulers. It was the Great Houses (being manipulated and instigated by ComStar) that caused the Inner Sphere to fall into near collapse.When the SLDF ran away, it left a power vacuum in the former Terran Hegemony worlds. The succession wars were where most of the technology was lost through use of weapons of mass destruction.
It pleases me that the BattleTech franchise is still alive and well.
Yes and getting back to its roots.
It's all fun and game for the clanners...
Till they crossed Space-ATnT
And they were told to get told "Get bent weirdo"
Then they got Focht.
Space AT&T tells the Clans to Get Focht
This message brought to you by Tex of the Black Pants Legion.
ComStar actually helped the clans at first until they realized that, uh oh, the clans wanted to claim Terra for themselves and re-establish the Star League without ComStar.
Sorry discount AdMech, Clan Sea Fox runs the phone company now 😝
ComStar went extinct when it's cultist weirdos decided to try playing holy war
They poked wannabe space samurais to much also.
The voiceover, acting, and even in-game cinematics are already leaps beyond MW5:Mercs. Can't wait!
Still bad tho. Their lips aren't even synced.
@@The6thMessengerthis is a trailer it’d get more polished near release
This game will have a campaign with plot and cinematics. Mercs was basically a co-op game
@@giannisantoe8567 Mercs was barely even a game, let alone a co-op one. Hopefully the co-op campaign here can be interesting and redeem the disaster that MW5:Mercs was
The voice acting/writing in the last one was so bad. Ryanna's scripts had rhymes in them.
WE GETTIN OUTA EXILE WITH THIS ONE!!!
Self appointed exile...
And straight into the mouth of a Bulldog…
Reclaim Terra: ❌
Bring vengeance down upon house Kurita and their fascist regime: ✅
Now if only we could destroy the capellans 😂
Because the Clans definitely care about fascism.
The average clan warrior did not read a book in his life.
Smokejaguar calling someone fascist is a bit rich.
@@explodingevo socialists killing socialists calling each other fascists, ah the classics.
-ACK
"Dude, what happened to your face?"
"Shaving accident"
Battlemech air bag failure.
Year is 3k+. People travel thru space yet cannot into basic regenerative medicine.
@@TimDeadmenVP Battletech Universe is a Post Apo at this point.
Most of the tech is lost, many have no idea how to reproduce the mechs, and outside of few worlds, they usually repair salvage instead
"The Smoke Jaguar claims this world. Identify the forces that defend it so that we from the mists of space may know on whom we pounce."
Is this some kind of joke?
@@oliverserker You dare refuse his batchall?!
Implying Smoke Jags would offer that honor to subhuman spheroid surrats.
@@rhobidderskag1121 and that's why your clan no longer exists, tube baby
@Synthonym they exists ... as Stone's Shadows and eventually reborn as Smoke Jaguars
楽しみだ！ ああ、楽しみだ！
日本語に公式対応もお願いします……！！ Please official japanese localized!!!!!
It will be officially localized to Japanese.
looks like you got your wish
@@daeronkatz3329 wooooooo!!!!
@@daeronkatz3329source
Wait, there's a Battletech fanbase in Japan?
Well, I'll be damned. Nice!
The fact that it’s Clan Smoke Jaguar, a clan that notoriously was hit the hardest to the point of near extinction during the Great Refusal, is an interesting choice. Can’t wait to see how this story goes.
Same, wonder if we’re gonna stay jaguars or if we become bondsmen at some point. Honestly there’s a decent number of ways this could go and I’m excited to what they do with it.
Near Extinction? Pretty sure the Smoke Jaguars were pretty much wiped out entirely. The Clan no longer existed after the Great Refusal. Hell the Ghost Bears went Warden during the latter stages of Operations Bulldog and Scerpent.
@@chrisjohnson1146 No. Their is an unwritten rule of tabletop minature wargaming where you don't kill off a faction entirely. They must ALWAYS exist in some form. The reason for this is some of your customers are going to be all about that faction and so to keep them invested you must have something that keeps that faction going. In this case it was the Fidelis (they are Clan Smoke Jaguar) and eventually they got fully ressurected. Another example would be the Spirit Cats (Clan Nova Cat after being roflstomped). The only one to be fully destroyed was like Comstar and Word of Blake.
@@rainyvideos3684 What about Clan Blood Spirit, Clan Mongoose, Clan Fire Mandrill, Clan Widowmaker, Clan Wolverine and Clan Burrock?
@groundmasterc Ok so you have the Minessota Tribe which has been acknowledged to be Clan Wolverine so they don't violate the rule. Some of these are also for universe development and the plot. Like for example, Clan Widow Maker was never a faction when the Clans were introduced for the invasion. They were more already background window dressing to give a reason for Nicholas Kerensky to "exit the stage" shall we say and let each of the clans have a more unique identity rather then them all being the same because Kerensky's influence.
Now as for other clans that were later completely removed, the writers realized they had a problem, they made too many Clans for themselves to manage. But it's also awkard to leave them in limbo. So unfortunately some of them had to be cut for management's sake. It is a violation, but there's a reason why.
Players brand new to Battletech: "Yeah! Let's take down the fascists! Smoke Jaguar rules!"
Halfway through the campaign: "Are... are WE the bad guys?"
Me with popcorn, waiting to see people lose their minds: 🙂
They cannot consider themself are bad guys. They are jaguars, not wolves.
@@Velanteg Jaguars may be bad... but the Wolves are the true villains
In the words of a wise man who once said....I find you lack of faith.... disturbing.
Anyone fancy a little trip to the Clan homeworlds? Uncle Victor's organizing a little joyride... ;)
Gotta play MechWarrior 3 to prepare for that particular scenario.
Of course Clan Wolf-In-Exile would help with that bit 😉😎
@@wolfsquad-fenrirofficial7376 Always happy to howl with the Wolves!
Sounds like fun. When do we leave? 😎
Sign me up!
Smoked Jaguar
They got mercd harder then wolverine
@@northerntoe Wolverines did nothing wrong.
*Laughs in Fidelis and ilClan
Yup we know what will happen to them 💀
@@twisted9251 We did it with our own hands. Back in the 1999 when MW3 got released.
Would have been better for them to use 'despotic' instead of 'fascist' only because it would be a bit more precise. While House Kurita has fascistic characteristics, the Capellans really take the title for that one. The Clans aren't fascist, they're a quasi-socialist authoritarian state with a eugenics-based meritocracy. That's a bit of a mouthful, but there's no private capital allied to centralized power brokers and totalitarian ideology (which is what fascism is). If that sounds a bit like Davion, Steiner, Kurita, and Liao, and even Marik behind the scenes, then... yeah... the Successor States all have some disagreeable elements, by design.
Well, the thing is…
Clanners are hypocritical willingly or not.
At least from Black Pants Legion, even if it’s comedic and in-universe based on someone who don’t like Clans and Inner Sphere.
Even if “You Innersphere caused intergalactic Nuclear and Biological Wars that reduced them to fighting over literal scrap heap for mechs” have credence.
Hopibg that this will take us at least as far as Tukayyid, then fight in OZs, DLC has you oppose Operations Bulldog and Serpent, further DCL let you play the other Clan invasions (if its as big as MW5)
Gimme back my Kodiak!!
PGI, you did well! A video in the style of MW2: 31 Century Combat. The spirit and atmosphere of the Clans is perfectly conveyed. The commander's speech is just fire! Clans, forward to victory!
A clanner calling the kuritians fascists is downright insane
Then again, this is kinda fitting for a Clan.
Like they are hypocritical and arrogant even after being hobbled by Tukkayid.
- accusing Inner Sphere of “sullying” English while also using distorted and conjugated version.
- claim to be “ahistorical” but take pages from Sparta (also their sports team)
- above mentioned issue…while also having rigid caste system based on genetics.
Yeah, the clans agree with fascist principles of everything being for and within the state. They just don't agree with rule by decadent non-military aristocracy.
I'm getting 80s vibes while watching this and I'm loving it!
Yeah Battletech is very much a product of the 80s in the fun ways.
Most of the 80s werent real. We were all manufactured in 1988 with implanted memories.
Big Boss Baby vibes, amirite?
@TheRealColBosch Not really applicable here. Battletech is a product of the 80's sci-fi themes and styles and has maintained much of that with only minor visual changes (particularly on mechs).
Crash and Burn!
Hey, Smoke Jaguar. Remember when you had a Clan? 😂
Your average BPL fan
This sounds like it takes place before they got their teeth kicked in by space AT&T
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Well, the smoke Jaguars have been reborn into the Ilclan, so they have an official clan again
Yeah right now, we're back baby whoo🎉
In a weird way, PG is now competing with YAML and MercTech. That's a tall order.
Not to me, because MercTech makes my game crash on startup.
Nah. YAML and MercTech wouldn't have had a platform if it wasn't for PG, and they exist because PG allows it. There's no competition.
@@Flopdoodle Yeah, at least PGI didn't drop the game a year after release like HBS did with their Battletech game :/
@@AlexisyFRwasn't that due to licencing issues?
@@jasongarfitt1147 Yeah, Paradox just refused to develop new game with a license they don't own. And HBS best at making licensed games...
Spoiler: They lost
Oh will they lose this time? One way to find out.
Correction…..YOU WERE ….SMOKE JAGUAR
Get updated on the lore bro, the Smoke Jaguars got reformed from the Fidelis after Clan Wolf seized Terra.
@lsq7833 but thats ilclan era stuff. This seems like its invasion clans
@@lsq7833the way they're talking it sounds like this takes place before the battle of Tuykayyid
@@lsq7833yeah... But are they really Smoke Jaguar? They don't behave like they used to at all and literally were one of the worst plot points of the current era other than Alaric taking Terra
Oh! Look! Players get to commit war crimes, because they are playing Clan War Crime!
Ahh yes, the one faction who’s reputation in lore is “Warcrimes? It’s not warcrimes if they are spheroids!” *walks fire-starter toward orphanage* calling Kurita ‘facist’ is very funny too me.
*cough Kentares*
@@powerist209 Yeah, both factions in lore are “the warcrimes faction”. It’s a match made in hell. But Smoke Jaguar trying to claim moral high ground is VERY ironic.
@@powerist209 It's not calling Kurita fascist that's the funny part. It's a motherfucking Smoke Jaguar of all people doing it.
How many scars?
Yes!
It really tracks with how the clan system is. You fight a lot, prepare to look the part.
I'd be more accurate for them to call his regime "Amaris-like" than facist. As that's the man who essentially replaced them in the BattleTech universe following his coup.
Would they even know the word fascist? Considering the clans went about expunging any and all philosophies and ideologies that were not suitable for the “new society” of the clans.
it feels more like the Pot calling the Kettle black. some juicy irony from PGI
@@BigBroTejano Of course they would, the warrior caste is far better educated about these things.
@@BigBroTejano The Clans still have history (at least Nicholas' version of it), they can't be so certain of their superiority without thorough knowledge of the failings of their enemy. Of course Clanners calling anyone a fascist is ironic at best.
@@darkalman The average clan warrior did not read a book in his life. They know the statistics of their mechs, and their self-written history poems.
The Clans fear the Samurai.
Clan Smoke Jaguar is DISGUSTED by House Kurita and the Centuries of Barbarism their selfish actions have caused. So, let us begin our conquest as we mean to go on: "The Smoke Jaguar claims this world. Identify the forces that defend it so that we from the mists of space may know on whom we pounce."
Fear?? Fear is for those who survive our reclamation like cockroaches, for Clan Jade Falcon! For Kerensky's Honour!!
The clans fear one thing, and one thing alone... the phone company.
@@WeAreTheBentusi Says the Smoke Jags who broke the Ares Conventions because Kuritan Citizens didn't like them occupying their planet, so they glassed a city.
@@BigBroTejanoSpace AT&T comin for ya
SO FREAKING STOKED even if we're playing as Clan War Crimes
War Crime*
There's never been a mechwarrior game that isn't a war crime simulator
Mechwarrriors 5 was AWESOME, super underrated game imo!!!...
For those who don't understand why Clan Smoke Jaguar has chosen to invade the Draconis Combine, let me shed some light here:
During the Star League Civil War, Stefan Amaris kidnapped Ambassador Drago Kurita and his family on Terra. They were used as a bargaining chip to coerce Coordinator Minoru Kurita from not participating in the Civil War. Unfortunately for Minoru, Stefan (being the scumbag he is) executed Drago and his entire family on Terra after the war.
It was one of the other benefactors to the fall of the Star League and the reason why Clan Smoke Jaguar hates House Kurita.
Wait, I'm confused, is this a dlc or is it a spin-off of Mechwarriors 5?
Edit: So it's an standalone expansion which is kinda rare in this era of dlcs and whatnot, thank you all for the explanations!
It's stand-alone
This is not a DLC, it is a standalone game.
@@daeronkatz3329 Oh cool!
@@lsq7833 Thanks for the info.
Each mechwarriors game have almost a Clans standalone to tell their side of the story. this game should be better in term of mechanics and graphics too
"Hey Smoke Jaguar, you sure you got the logistical chops to pull this off?" - a whisky loving voice taunts
The clans are invading huh well comstar and anastasius focht wont be letting this slide
Remember Tukkayid!
Remember Clan Sea Fox bought them.
This really looks like it's working towards Turtle Bay, and thats terrifying
"A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic!"
Finally!!!! A campaign based game!!! Been too long!!! Cant wait!!! How 'bout a Big Mech with an Order to Fry!!!!!!😎😎😎
Interesting.
😂
Shut up, u know Clans will never use ur wretched services, your HPGs will be blown to pieces and only thing u guys will get is black outs.
Ah, yes. Clan Smoke Jagwire.
Perfect for German customers. It will be released on a national bank holiday celebrating the reunification of Germany.
Unifying the inner sphere as a goal in this game makes kind of sense
Also a reflection on how fascistic regimes and atrocities are made
Inner Sphere for life!
While this looks nice, I'm a die-hard IS fanboy and playing, of all the clans, Smoked Jaguar, would make me feel too dirty for comfort.
Theodore Kurita:
*Pulls out reverse uno card
100 years after the invasion, the Dragon is still dabbing on the clans😅
With the help of the Federated Commonwealth and ComStar, it should be noted.

Do possessives count as contractions?
Turtle....Bay?
That is likely what we're seeing at the end.
smoked jaguar. Luthein will hold!
Finally. Tired of of the inner sphere's bull.
Ma Ma Ma MAD DOG!!! ^^ my fav Mech ^^
Mad Dogs and Timber Wolves. Everything is right in the universe!
Smoke Jags calling the drac’s facist ? Now I’ve heard it all. Also the jags aren’t nearly angry enough …
When a clanner said the words "fascist regime" it kinda killed my immersion, tbh.
That's not something a space-weirdo in the year 3049 would say, lmao.
Wait those 5 are fresh cadets and in trailer they instructed by just mechwarrior (daggerstar on uniform). How one of them already have bloodname? And who are rest including guy with scars?

More 80s cartoon yes
Someone put in a service request to Space AT&T
Intro cinematics hit a peak at Mechwarrior 3
Implying Mechwarrior 4 didn't have an absolute banger of an intro
It is the 31st century, and mankind is once again at war. The battlefields of the future are dominated by huge robotic war machines known as BattleMechs. Piloting these awesome weapons of war are men and women, the elite of the elite, knowing that each battle could be their last. They are MechWarriors.
@@Synthonym MW4 Vengeance intro was fantastic. Loved the English Horn solo at the end.
May 20 , remember tukayyid " get bent weirdos" Space AT&T
When are animators going to realize people blink.
This just made me really REALLY want a Mechwarrior RPG, Mass Effect style.
looked the the back side of a Dire Wolf around 1:04
oh so you play as part of clan smoked jaguar
And then they got pwned by the space telephone company
Headed by a former Steiner general who is actually capable of tactics.
Also have Star League era technology even if their soldiers are “fresh”.
Clans being too stubborn to cut their losses when Comstar demanded “Batchal” even after they got decimated hard.
They fought the space phone company on one continent of one planet.
A few years later the forces of the Inner Sphere pwned the Smoke Jackasses on every planet they held.
If they don't follow this up with a DLC for Operation: Bulldog, I'll be sorely disappointed. Maybe do Tukayyid first, then Bulldog.
No preorders, quiaff?
Aff! Well bargained and done. The Bidding will start at release!
Lets flipping GOOOOOOOOOO
Timber Wolf ready for action.
I'm buying it just for that city scene. we NEED more high quality cinematics in this universe.
these boys going to get wrekt! IS for life!
The one thing that could unite the Inner Sphere. A common enemy. Ya done frakked up Clans!
Just what this franchise needed; A game from the POV of the Space Taliban.
They rant about destruction and barbarism, while we know the Smoke Jackasses are going to kill millions of civilians.
Get hyped, quiaff?
Aff, throtkin
Just gimme my Timberwolf. I'll take care of the rest.😂
LETS GOOOOO
Just gimme an AC20, a pair of ER PPCs and all the double heat sinks you can muster. I'll take it from there.
Lets just hope PGI is able to make a FINISHED game and not leach the modders to finish it properly
Where's muh Ghost Bear!?
Probably in skirmish mode if they have it?
House Davion sends their regards.
00:49. The word is prophesied, not prophesized. That's like saying libary for library.
Remember: No pre-orders.
Location: Tukayyid
Objective: Survive
And they still lost... Even with all that technological superiority.
All that work just to get spanked by a phone company, run by texhno wizards.
Ah yes, clan Smoke Jaguar before they became "Smoked" Jaguar
So sad that Operation: Bulldog wasn´t launched earlier the remove these surats from the clans!
so cool!!smorked shaguar,yeah!😁action jackson time!
Hopefully it's got more variety mw5 got very repetitive pretty quick
Ok, now let's see if the AI is just as terrible and the missions just as generic as PGI has done before.
