Nice to see a voice actor who seems to really enjoy a particular franchise that he's an iconic part of. Duncan Fisher is a great part of Battletech.
I swear George IS the voice of the Battletech franchise. Him and Tex could just do everything and make it sound good.
When I first saw this I thought it was an official into to that HBS Battletech game. Perfect quality all around!
Sadly, that game takes place a few decades before the Clans arrive...
@@CrizzyEyes No worries, there are mods now taking the game into the Clan era, and beyond!
Wow. Three and a half minutes and you managed to get a pretty good overview of everything in there, except how awesome my boi Hanse Davion is.
For those who don't know, sarna.net is the BattleTech wiki. This franchise is a space opera set in a semi-dystopian 31st century, where the interstellar governments have reverted back to feudalism and hereditary nobility. There are no sentient aliens, because the theme is that mankind is its own worst enemy. "Machines have evolved. Man hasn't."
There are over a hundred BattleTech novels. There are tabletop board games. And there are a bunch of PC games--MechWarrior and Mechcommander. The Xbox has Mechassault.
@@dobbysboggart6883 wel, thre wascstodybwhre thre was mentioning of at least one alien species in bstlthech but its non sentient lifeforms it's like mor barbaric alien
@@dobbysboggart6883 did you see my reply
OOH I recognize that last scene- the Ghost Bear drop on Rasalhague from the animation.
We destroyed the filthy Freeborn and took their lands for our own. Clan Forever!
Sidney Fein IS Merc: “Wanna bet?”
@@rookiemechwarrior no, I know the endgame here, lol.
With Warhammer going down the shitter, I'm coming to play with the Battletech community from now on.
Don't worry, I'm sure Warhammer will get restored to it's glory in a few years. Besides, Warhammer's not in that bad of a place yet! Well, not lore-wise, anyway... except for the Leagues of Voltann.
That was GLORIOUS!
Great work, it´s plain fantastic.
I wish we could get that as a movie series.
Forget Fast and Furious, this has potential for dozens of evening filling titles.
And you only started in 3051 (with MWO as basis, i assume?), imagine what would be possible with 4th succession war, the War of 3039, the appearance of Wolf´s Dragoons in the Inner Sphere and SO MANY MOOOOOOOORE!!!
It feels good to know exactly what will happen before it does.
This really, really needs to be the intro movie for MechWarrior Online!
+Jack Fraser I really support that idea. This introduction to BattleTech is beyond great, it's epic and masterfully done! I really did not expect this. The video should also be pinned in the Steam Forums as an introduction for the new SteamWarriors.
We need people to support this idea! PETITION!
if MWO was still a BattleTech game, i'd agree
alas, it barely qualifies as a mechwarrior game
Thunderbird Anthares Largely because it lacks stuff like this. Among other things of course.
Jack Fraser fluff wont make it a BattleTech game - it would need a bit of a redesign for that
I knew it was SirDubDub's handy work.
Two of my favorite fan content makers in the MWO community!
I hope to see more of you two working together!

Maybe you guys could help do some work for the new battletech game?
+D.C. Bruins Also I've watched this like seven times, hot damn I'd love to see a longer series that follows *that* hunchie pilot (I wonder who he is ;D).
Or something I know you've been super busy with life as the last time I talked to you on the forums but I still want you to know I want more, please.
+ToastedWaffles Who knows what lies beyond?
THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD! OMFG. make a part 2. or get PGI or someone to notice this channel , this is amazing and deserves way more views!
Very happy to see some good-quality BT-fan content! We desperatley need more of this!
cant stop watching this. this is too good.
Why wasnt this the intro to MW5 (minus the clan stuff) instead of that short clip they show when you start. It tell you so much more about this universe than that did.
because this is giving a primer on the universe as a whole, and the mw5 intro was setting up to what your place in the world is; that being a mercenary.
Close to Homeworld series intros...love it.
Kind of reminds me of the opening cinematic to Sins of a Solar Empire.
Make part 2 please, the Clan please. Beg you so much.
for some it was a time of terrible sacrifice and loss, for others was a time of great opportunity -mechwarrior 4 mercenaries
Better than the MW5 intro. Change my mind!
This video is perfect to introduce new blood to this amazing universe. Keep up the good work!
this needs to be a real movie! :D
NEED MORE! Make a part 2 or somthing!
this video is epic it's the reason im getting in to the battletech universe
D.C. Bruins...I interpret Battletech by this plugline: "Machines have evolved. Man hasn't "
High quality, well done, and a perfect intro to the universe of battletech, awesome job!
What the fuck wow.. shivers down my spine how did it take 15 months for me to find this masterpiece 07 / drool /fangirl
Good video and awesome voiceover. Thx for that! Love the drawnings too.
Holy fucking shit! This is awesome! The voice the animation the music, that was very well blended together :D
Amazing. From The first words. I. Hooked. You just earned a subbed
I don't wanna be THAT GUY here, but I just finished the Blood of Kerensky books so its fresh in my mind: the Clans showed up in 3048, and the war ended in 3052.
Love seeing fan works like this
That was absolutely freaking epic!
oh. my. god. This is fucking awesome. Where has this been?! Well done!! you need way more attention
we love george!
i just love this whilest playing mech warrior :')
oh my! It really is a short introduction, but with lots of epicness. Great job!
That was awesome!
*Gives salute with tears in his eyes.
Oh Captain my Captain.
This is amazing
Great video 😊
simply epic, ty for your work
THE STAR LEAGUE!!!!
More views, this video needs more views! Damn, so very well done!
This is beyond amazing.
I am loving what i am seeing here
Fantastic narration!
DUNCAN FISHER!
~Moist.~
~fucking soggy AF~
man that is a good intro nice one
Excellent! Love it.
It ended just as it was getting good!
Happy New Year!!! :)
LOVE this.
got a homeworld vibe from the space construction scene
great video
say what you will about the clans, at least they are not filthy capellans. lol
Though Capellan fuckery is what brought about the end of Star League in Exile. So we can blame them for the birth of the Clans as well.
@@Axle117 lmao
outstanding!
Nice overview
Part two please
This seems like mechwarrior 5 intro is based on this?
Thank god
Amazing video!Question though.Whats the song used.I can't seem to find it on hellwreckege's page....
Back in the nineties they had a battle Tech cartoon series based on this
I love the universe of Battletech.
Make it the Post-Intro to the Battletech PC game!
A bit late for that, MWO timeline already go to Operation Bulldog.
@@Velanteg
No. I meant the new Battletech Game from Harebrained Schemes.
Kerensky? Like for real is this the October revolution he's talking about
I love the smoking corpse of Cameron. Nice touch.
Chris yehbthst Perry grsilyntouch show thst batltech isnt messing with hiw much darker sbd griity it us
Early version of MW5 intro?
If battletech cartoon in the early 90's have such quality....
Which song is this?
EPIC
Such a fantastic intro video for the franchise! So Awesome! Much Wow! ... Unless you're trying to introduce someone to pre 3051 lore, you Spoilers! (Just kidding. Thank you for such amazing work and tireless passion) ; D
Hail Jade Falcon
I say: MOAR!
So, should I fight for Kerenski, or against him? ....
TocTeplv...It depends. Fight as a Warden or Crusader?
is there anywhere i can find lore in a chronological order in a similar video format?
Abolished Jay...The Battletech wiki is sarna.net. The first generation is the Succession Wars. The second generation is the Clan Invasion and Operation Bulldog. The third generation is the FedCom Civil War. The fourth generation is the Word of Blake Jihad. The fifth generation is the Dark Age.
Thanks. ill be reading this all tonight. Cheers.
This voice reminds me a lot of that Tex guy from BlackPantsLegion.. same guy?
Nope, this guy is a voice actoy that likes the setting. They have done a bit of collaboration.
Gorge Ledoux, heared as the voice of Duncan Fisher, solaris 7 announcer in the mechwarrior games.
Can someone let me know if mech assault is within the same universe?
Yes it is set in the Battletech universe.
ThatCanadianGamer The Mechassault games are set a few years after Mechwarrior 4 and Mechcommander 2 during the Word of Blake Jihad.
I would have liked to add Spanish subtitles to the video, it's too good to be limited to a single language, but there is no option...
Could you please give it a view? It would take only 15 minutes with the youtube tool to add since it's copy-paste and allow it to be more known to other language-speaking communities, while also helping deaf people since how awful the automatically generated subtitles are :)

***** No, thank you for this awesome video! It means a lot to me to be able to share it freely with my friends and Battletech circles.
and the rest?.. please tell more!!
The style reminds me of the Sins of a Solar Empire intro.
Shouldn't the date be 3049, though? By 3051 the Clans were already making massive headway into the Inner Sphere.
+Xeno426 The battletech universe takes place over hundreds of years.
+Cessna152ful Yeah, I know. I've been playing the game since the early 90's.
I'm talking about point 3:00, where it says "the year is 3051 AD" and then talks about the Clans invading. The Clans started the invasion in 3049 though, because by 3051 the second wave was starting and the four Crusader clans had already made massive gains in Inner Sphere space and wouldn't be stopped until 3052.
Actually the clans didn't officially invade until 3050 according to Sarna. though you are right that it lasted until 3052 and its possible the invasion actually started in december of 3049. hense why its referred to 3050
*****
Well, 3051 was when Operation Revival started up again with the second wave of hte Clan invasion. Clans Diamond Shark, Nova Cat, and Steel Viper were added as auxiliary backups for the primary invading clans.
Maybe the human federation is the end.

FUTURE MECHS WOULD THOSE OF TITANFALL GAME
NON-AI MECHS ARE NOT THE FUTURE
So, it's like the little cousin of W40K? Cool!
Be careful how you phrase that, good sir. Battletech may not be as broad or grimdark as Warhammer 40K, but the sheer depth of its world, characters, and inner-workings makes makes "Game of Thrones" look small in comparison.
It also helps that its owners aren't actively trying to kill off the fan community that has supported it through the decades. The Great Exodus of W40K players to Battletech has been a fascinating development to watch and a boon for this franchise's recent revival.
Warning noted. My intention was not to minimize the depth of the universe.
I am not yet very far into the lore, but for now, it is definitely looking like the less-grimdark cousin of 40k.
Definitely worth looking further into.
