I was obsessed with these cinematics as a kid. I remember my friend telling me all about the Kodiak mech and how beefy it is, and being so excited to see it in this opening. We used to play Mech Warrior on the playground field, running around with our arms bent at 90 angles like mechs.
Next time I walk around the mall with my wife I'm going to play as a Kodiak with my arms bent at 90 degrees while making pew pew and boom boom noises. She will enjoy herself.
Lol, well if you brush up on Clanner society you'd know this. But obviously the people who did the voice recordings for these games didn't get the memo about Clanners not using contractions.
My 'Mech of choice was an Executioner with dual PPCs in one arm, an Ultra Autocannon-20 in the other, and an anti-missile system. Saw that configuration in one of the novels and it was devastating.
On tabletob you could probably make that config if you remove some of the excess heat sinks on the gladiator and reduce it to the base 15 on the chassis. Might run hot but it’s a scary one no doubt.
Seeing this clip again really brings back the memories of the good ol' days in the 90s when I loved playing MechWarrior on my crappy old PC! Wish I could play again, but, ever since I had a brain tumor the size of a lrg. orange behind my rt. eye that caused a stroke which paralyzed the left side of my body back in 1996, I haven't been able to properly enjoy any computer games that require having both hands at 100% ;-(
+JarnBjorn72 Aw man.... I'm so sorry man. I just hope you can at least enjoy watching others play. I hope in the future you'll be able to play games again.
They even had the voice actors use clan words like "quiaff," "aff," and "neg." So to be "correct," the voice actors would not have used contractions if the pilot was in a frontline 'Mech. Like I said, they almost got this right, there's only one contraction in the entire video. When the Mad Dog pilot says: "Nothin' on scope.." that's an aesthetic thing, he should have pronounced the whole word, but I digress.
The Clans did eventually join Devlin Stone's coalition and helped destroy the WoB. The Ghost Bears absolutely mauled a few units, saved the Combine's ass and took out an entire Shadow Division. The Council of Six, which included Warden and Crusade alike (Crusader Wolves, Jade Falcons, Diamond Sharks, Snow Ravens, Ghost Bears and Hell's Horses) provided key warship support and helped retake a good portion of the Sol system.
In MW4 the Kodiak is often used as a missile boat. It got jets, wich means it can jump out of hill cover briefly to unload its salvo. Also its got a ECM, making it quite steathy to radar. And when i am talking missiles i mean triple Cluster Arrow IV, thats artellery missiles. Its formidable, and earned the nickname: "the plague". It has a terrible punch and AMS won't help you against missiles of that size. It had an armor bug exchanging front and rear armor, wich sucked. But that got fixed.
Obligatory Remembrance quote: None stronger, none more fearless Than the Ghost Bear. None can hold against him. What we know to be true: The Ghost Bear conquers all.
I wonder why did we never get an introduction to Clan Ghost Bear, like how we had the movies introducing Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon in 31st Century Combat.
@Specter86 Actually, "MechWarrior" was the name of the roleplaying game that grew out of BattleTech, and which used BT as the combat engine. The computer game is an adaptation of MW. They all exist within the BattleTech universe.
***** I feel I should finally explain what meant by my last comment - Since the beginning of the Clans, Clan Snow Raven monopolised a vast majority of worships, frigates, cruisers etc etera, while all the other Clans focus on Armour or BttleMerch manufacturing so when the war of 3050 began against the Inner Sphere, a lot of Clans had no option but to use the Clan Snow Raven transport, because all the other Clans just did not have the Naval ships to be able to transport their invavson force into the Inner Sphere.
+harkeill wow, thanks for the history lesson. Moral of the story: if you're gonna make a bunch of walking tanks, be sure and ask the question "how are we actually getting these to the enemy?"
I’m new to the mech warrior/battletech series but what does contraction mean? I can’t really get a solid answer online (yes I know this comment is old, I’m really curious)
K1LLAGHOST A contraction is a shortening of a phrase, usually for convenience's sake. Example: Instead of saying "I am going to take a shower," I could say "I'm going to take a shower." This is a little smoother, quicker, and, in today's culture, sounds proper, whereas the full form sounds oddly formal in normal speech. An exception to the "oddly formal" idea would be when someone is angry or upset, in which case it is common to lengthen the utterance in order to more fully express the emotion: "YOU ARE *NOT* GOING TO THE DANCE WITH HER!" In the video, the Smoke Jaguar pilot says "Jag Base, this is Jag 12, I'm approaching the reported radar signature," which goes against the Clan cultural practice of never using contractions. According to the lore, he should have said "I am approaching the reported radar signature." May I ask your native language?
@@CodeineRadick While Melee is sort of frowned upon by the Clans it's not uncommon......there's a reason Kodiaks have those claws. The bigger issue is among the Clans it's seen as VERY Taboo to aim for a cockpit on purpose......and DFA is doing just that...
As far as I know, the video shows how Clan Ghost Bear idolizes the "Ghost Bear" that hunts it's prey this way, by hiding in the snow to pounce on prey animals unlucky enough to wander too close, yes. ;-)
@Ironeagle 777 The mech is effectively shut down, and radar is passive, so there is no "Ping" in the books a hot start up is entirely possible for ambushes like this. The Mad Dog pilot suddenly had the radar signiture because the Kodiak Pilot was powering up because the trap was sprung.
Ditto, Maddog/Vulture and the Timberwolf/Madcat was pretty versatile, and the Madcat Mk II used in MW4 with the extra beefed up armor/weps was nice too. The Bushwacker was fun too., with the AC it packed! Wish they'd make MW5 already....
You have to purchase the Clan Pak seperately from MW4 to get the Kodiak. It was my favorite Mech to jump and snipe with in multiplayer. The Inner Sphere Pak was worth getting too, because it contained the Heavy Gauss Rifle.
Although I have since hung up my neural helmet and place my CRB-27 Crab (aka Sakuya's Ice) into mothballs, this still gets the adrenaline flowing from my days as a Capellan citizen on the battlefield. Alas, after more than twenty years, I have decided to leave the battlefield for the younger generation to prove their worth. I am happy enough as a training instructor for the future Capellans to prove they have what it takes to become citizens and serve the Great Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao.
obviously the creators wanted to illustrate DFA on this vid but your right, the correct strategy with the mad dog is hit and run with its long range weapons... expecially going againts with the Kodiak, the only long range weapon it has on its standard loadout is the Large Laser.
@Dumpstermuffin1 it all depends on what your definition of 'powerful' is. Clan Ghost Bear could have had the superiority on the field of battle with its 'mechs, but Clan Snow Raven ruled the skies with their domination over Clan warships.
Autocannon made short work of that appendage. Boy I used to love this game! I outfitted my Warhammer with 4 PPCs. You needed extra heat sinks tho or it would explode after three simultaneous blasts. :-D
I did something similar with a Timberwolf. It was only good for the snowy climate of GBL because evven with extra heatsinks and cycling, the friggin arm would melt off. Could drop an assault lance single handedly though if done correctly.
Is there a 95 tons mech in this game? a 95 ton mech can have 4 PPCs and enough heat sinks to keep on firing those PPCs non stop without the fear of shutting down if you know how to build them and they move faster then a fully deck out 100 ton mech. Mech like Executioner/Gladiator.
Two great mechs fighting, unfortunately for one the other is basically the clan version of the Atlas, which even into the IL Clan era is one of the most feared mechs on the battlefield.
8 tomahawk on a stone rhino all shot at one on a cluster of ennemy at long range lock. 1 shut down 30 secs of radio static from massive explosion (EMP) Then once back online, no more ennemies on long ranged radar. That was sweet when you actually had that lock from that far and actually blowed up 8 mech all in one sweep witought them even seing ya.
I was going to protest the implication that even softies like the Ghost Bears would let a Freebirth into an assault mech, but the Kodiak *is* a second-liner, and a non-omni.
I notice there is no ending video for GBL on RUclips. That fact might be related to a certain underwater mission... ;-) (No, I never got past that one, either...)
He's yelling "FREEBIRTH!" insulting the Kodiak pilot. In certain factions of the Mechwarrior universe the warrior elite are all created artificially, and people who are born naturally are considered unclean and inferior. Battletech/Mechwarrior had a pretty rich cultural back story.
It seems games have shifted from the oldschool brand of mechwarrior, under a killing moon, wing commander, etc - to games that sacrifice rich and innovative plotline for innovative and rich gameplay dynamics and graphics, which is a shame since both would be nice.
Yup, they might not be so good for fast in/out incursions but would you want to assault anything that's being guarded a couple of them? Designed like their namesake: They're big, tough, mean and lethal if you're stupid enough to get too close. The addition of jumpjets to the Kodiak 2 (or a custom) variant makes DFA a fitting maneuver for them.
MadCat, Vulture and Thor are all Clan Mechs. The Clan invasion takes place roughly 35 years too late for the MW5 time, and the Clans were unknown before that.
CANNOT GET LOK!!! lol i still have this game. i remember i was on the 1st mission and i had a big slow mech Iforgot the name). my leg got injured and i was moving real slow (like 10 km/hr lol). it took me about a hour ot beat the mission, then my dad told me to turn the computer off and didn give me a chance to save :(. so i never played it again lolol. in later mechwarrior games all i wanted to do was jump jet onto other mechs, because of this inro movie lolol
No, there's not any video runs or the ending from Ghost Bear's Legacy. Wish there were any other videos, I wanted to know what it's like. A friend told me that game is so clean (clean as in awesome).
I mean that this video and the original Mechwarrior 2 intro depict clan pilots in frontline 'Mechs, and the videos have the voice actors using contractions. 9 times out of 10, it's Trueborns who are assigned frontline 'Mechs, and Trueborn pilots do not use contractions. That's a freeborn thing.
Ohhh.. ok that I didn't know! Awesome man. And yah well no Bushwacker, that's what they have expansion packs for. Haha. I mean if the game's good and true to MW2 MW3 style fun then you know what? I'll take 10 GOOD mech designs over 30 half-assed clones. Also, As long as they have Madcat, Vulture, Thor etc I'll be happy. ;) I'm not really a buff so I have no idea about the different ages, but man a reboot is what we need. Eh?

That KDK-2 pilot was torso twisting the damage pretty well.
Yeah, wonder where he got those jump jets though.
A year later. But the kodiak 2 has jump jets as its design. Ir was a variant made to be more mobile, while sacrificing a little firepower.
Kdk2? That's a kodiak 1 brah
@@mr_ThreeEight_1776 Can't recall 100% but I believe the original kodiak variant had JJ's built into the structure

This is what you once were, Activision.

Did the same in my childhood!

Clanners don't use contractions.

Yep. That was a butcher configurations. Great combine
I'm a complete newbie with this franchise, but the one thing I know for sure, when in doubt use the PPC

Mechwarrior is the Pen & Paper roleplaying game set in the Battletech universe that the PC games are named after.
First time i saw that intro... i thought that was the coolest thing i have ever seen.
I remember seeing this and always thinking that it wasn't nearly as intense as the first MW2 intro :P
Between this video and MW2:Mercs, most amazing classic game introductions, ever.

I love how the Kodiak rotates left and right to spread/absorb the damage. I just might have to replay this old game.... 😉
"Guess what, Im an assault mech with JUMP JETS!"
Long lives the Ghost Bears
Dude I love clan mechs so much
Clan Ghost Bear... they have no sense of honor. Laying a trap with a Kodiak! Stravag!
That Somerset Jag pilot said "I'm approaching" how very unclan like

its fun to see my two favorite mech crushin ech-other!ha ha ...my favorite mechwarrior intro of all!
great opening
I chose my nickname after playing this game.
I had no idea mechs could growl. Going to dust off my Mech Warrior 2 CD and try to find that button...
bereath Kodiak is actually a living, breathing mech. It has real life characteristics of the animal it is supposed to portray.
same, timberwolf was always my favorite mech, and then mad dog the 2nd most favorite
Two great mechs fighting, unfortunately for one the other is basically the clan version of the Atlas, which even into the IL Clan era is one of the most feared mechs on the battlefield.
I forgot how many people hate us Smoke Jaguars lol.
I sometimes walk around and make mech sounds in my camouflage underwear. Unfortunately my neighbours do no appreciate this and have called the police.
We need the sound of the Ghost Bear's Legacy logo appearing. (The ice forming sound)
lol, i second that. max armor, 3 erppcs, 2 lrm 15s...it was fun back in the day.
8 tomahawk on a stone rhino all shot at one on a cluster of ennemy at long range lock.
1 shut down
30 secs of radio static from massive explosion (EMP)

I fucking loved the Kodiak.
FREEBIRTH!
i loved to play with the kodiak!
I never owned this game, But both Mw2 CGB and MW2 Mercs were both my favorites.
They almost got this one correct. The Mad Dog pilot uses a contraction at the very beginning. "I'm."
this scene scared the shit outta me when i was little, i was like only 6 or 7

Take that, Smoke Jaguar. >:)
He's yelling "FREEBIRTH!" insulting the Kodiak pilot.

Battletech/Mechwarrior had a pretty rich cultural back story.

i like how an assault mech nearly twice the size of a heavy mech can have jump jets and some medium mechs cant.
MadCat, Vulture and Thor are all Clan Mechs. The Clan invasion takes place roughly 35 years too late for the MW5 time, and the Clans were unknown before that.
