This very much makes me think of Aidan Pryde's last stand on Tukyyaid. Holding off Space AT&T in his "cursed" Timber Wolf ".... when a cluster of missiles hit against the timber wolf's right leg, he felt it shift a bit. When he tried to make the leg move, it did not respond. What did it matter? There was nowhere he could go. He wondered how much ammunition he had left. "To your right. Aidan Pryde, fifteen degrees." Kael Pershaw said. Aidan fired.
I feel like this is the perfect soundtrack for when IS forces first face off against the Clans. Very much a "something bad is coming" vibe. I can just imagine a IS pilots combat computer flashing between MAD/CAT MAD/CAT MAD/CAT then bam, dual ppc rounds smash into his cockpit as a lance of Timber Wolves appear in the distance... the Clan invasion has begun.
Give me an Atlas with Arrow IV and AMS escorted by a Stalker and these eugenics obsessed vat born virgins will see what is to face the Inner Sphere. Send me the biggest clan mechs and you will see them burn.
@@aquarius5719 My man, something similar happened to me in MWO while I was in my Dire Wolf and the atlas didn't had a chance, believe me, I hate clanners, they are fucking space commies, but they also ARE technologically superior.
@@thirdworldgamer8717 Atlas alone is a weakling. But make the Atlas have Arrow IV and AMS and it will resist a bit more. But with a Stalker as escort, while the Atlas is being attacked, the Stalker starts mid range attack with an Alpha Strike and no clanner will resist. No matter how heavy. Stalker will overheat but it will be too late for the clanner.
This....Is amazing... This is the song you play when your the last man standing with a severely damaged torso, a busted leg, and only a few rounds left.
"Upper hip actuator's out" An actuator is a device that moves a mechanical system, like a hydraulic piston or servo. If you watch the MW2 intro, the damaged mech is dragging one leg - hip's not working, so it can't walk correctly. Everything you've known for the last twenty years is a lie.
Imagine a Mechwarrior a big budget epic movie trilogy taking place during the clan invasion. All out massive war witnessed through the lens of a characters on both sides. IS warrior fighting for family and home. Clan warrior fighting for honor and prestige. The trailer would feature this track in a montage of chaotic and vicious to the last man fighting, and climax on the title scene "Mechwarrior" GOOSEBUMPS SOMEONE MAKE IT HAPPEN
SO this is basically a lot of the music from MW2 blended together. I hear traces of the title theme, Bouk Obelisk, and a few others. ... This is damn good.
Mech 5 doesn't have this but this is meant for clans the new mech 5 is IS bullshit. There is no madcat in mw5... who makes a MW game with out the poster boy mech... the mad cat... BUT this being said they do have a nice sound track. it feels like disturbed and Metallica sounding songs ish… it's not bad but this is better.
I was trying to build a mech in Kerbal Space Program, including writing code to control the leg movement (in Kerbal OS). I couldn't figure out how to handle situations where the throttle went to zero or increased from zero. Then I listened to this. My code works now.
Functional? I would say so. I just used it to recreate the mechwarrior 2 cinematic intro. (latest video on my channel) The mods are Infernal Robotics for the joints, BD Armory (customized) for the weapons, and Kerbal Operating System for the walking and AI.
Meant in case the updates broke the functionality, either different mechanics wich.... well its KSP we know all too well what happens when Center of mass is off, the mass of the thing is bigger then it should, etc. And thanks ill look those up.
I always sense a deep urgency in the second part of this song... Like something really went wrong. A team member somebody close even family and your pushing your mech to its limits to reach the impending horror that's about to happen. Caution is giving way to a coldness a moment of clarity like angels at your back and with the fury of a thousand men laying waste to anything between your objective and yourself...this ain't about itself or the mission but making sure they will be a another mission. Selfless act of pure bravery in the face of Death....One last show. failure is not an option.
Your description bears a very strong resemblance to the last scene of Aidan Pryde's last stand in the trial of Tukayyid, in the 'Falcon Guard' installment of the Jade Phoenix Trilogy in the BT universe of novels. If you've never read it, read the trilogy. When you read that scene, you'll understand what I mean. This piece definitely fits.
I always loved playing MW2 in the free-for-all modes. Always a Timberwolf with two Mad Dogs as escorts. Something about them; the Mad Dogs with their fighter jet looks, and the Timberwolf with its B-29 Superfortress cockpit and “Micky Mouse” missile pod ears design. And then just playing on random maps hunting down enemy mechs. Good days.
@@1970Mrmaurizio I have an entire storyline written out for a theoretical Mechwarrior 6, where the main character is a girl who lived on Dawn in the Rasalhague when the Clans invaded, and after escaping the planet, joins the Federated COmmonwealth to fight the clans. Sucks it'll never see the light of day but its a nice thought.
Beetny like, Cobra attack helicopter cockpit with legs, arms and shoulder pods strapped to it. I mean in game, not the cutscenes and art, it was glorious in the art.
I...I don't know if I can word this properly...but Everytime I hear this...I think of my mother. My mother is one hell of a warrior. She's had everything ripped away from her, lost a son who was murdered, survived cancer numerous times, lost both her parents, fought thru crippling depression, has had her body mangled and twisted....yet she won't stop fighting...she won't let me give up either when times are hard. She's the most brave and humble woman I know and right now she's fighting Lukemia, refusing to give up. So when I hear this, I hear those drums beating....I think of how strong and powerful she is.
Hang in there bro! Your mother really sounds like a force to be reckoned with, a spiritual embodiment of a Timber Wolf. You have one fine mother to look up too, good luck in life! :)
My mum ended up playing a bit of MechWarrior 2 in the end. It all started because I left it paused and she need to use the computer. She found the exit to DOS menu, but the EMBRACE COWARDICE? [FLEE TO DOS] bit confused her, so she ended up finishing the mission! And all because she wouldn't let a game call her a coward! Only later did she learn that there was no way to exit the game without admitting you were a coward.
I am very grateful for your comments. She's still fighting and is still as mighty as a Timber Wolf! I've come to the conclusion my mother is a Clan Wolf warrior 🤣 Stubborn, fierce, and honorable. May Kerensky guide you Mechwarriors.
@@nilsingvar7319 Ha, that's what they called it in MechAssault. Was a fun game as a kid, I remember playing a lot of split screen vs AI (Grinder) with my little brother. We'd get something that was jump capable and hide on top of buildings to survive the later waves. Good times, though for me personally it didn't have the atmosphere of Mechwarrior 3 (only ever played 3, 4, and MechAssault, personally, since the older titles were before my time).
This music gives me big goosebumps and adrenaline pumps. Just the sheer nostalgia from when I was a kid is so strong listening to this. Absolute masterpiece!!
Timothy... I've been listening to this soundtrack on repeat since I was 10 years old... I'm 30 now. This remastering is probably 1 of my top ten things on the internet right now... Very well done. I will be purchasing this from your band-camp shortly. Well deserved.
Grew up on Mechwarrior 2, 3, 4, and all their expansions. Such a good franchise! And the music...man, the music from these games is unreal! And now you've perfected them! Epic, purely epic! Subscribed. :)
Personal fav. This has the slow methodical military beat to it. I think this encapsulates what mechwarrior is, well done. This would be a good extended theme for some form of assault, defense, or cutscene.
The intro/build up from 0:00 to 2:25 is especially epic. Get's the blood pumping, musically. The rest of it sounds like it takes a bit from Pirate's Moon (MW3 expansion) and another favorite MW2 track for a really nice mash up. Good stuff! This track by itself sounds like it could make a great intro to the rest of the album in the way it starts and ends. :)
PIRATE MOON WAS THE HARDEST GAME. I could finish it, on EASY, but only with a strategy I considered a rort. I don’t really think a half-ton engine should be able to push an Atlas at all, let alone a slow but still usable 18 kmh. But the game let me!
This is phenomenal. In this one song you've managed to capture the heart of mech warrior 2, and battle tech as a whole. I would love to see more mech warrior related content from you.
I remember the mission this song played on. You had to escort a Repair Rehicle inside a valley to a damaged To Mech "a 4-legged Mech with a giant turret on top" Called a T5 Reconnaissance Unit for repairs. Then escort it and the repair vehicle back to the Friendly Drop Ship for extraction while you Fight off ad hopefully destroy all the enemy Mechs.
Eeeeyup. The "T5 Reconnaissance Unit", a Tarantula, was one of the only two Inner Sphere 'Mechs that specific game had. The other was the BattleMaster... which crashes the game if the player attempts to pilot it, as I recall.
@@TurnaboutAkamia The game had the original IS versions of the Jenner, Warhammer, and Marauder in the Kell Hound levels. I actually didn't know that the Tarantula was an IS Mech, I thought it was a Clan Wolf exclusive. You could pilot the BattleMaster, Tarantula, and elemental in the Instant action levels with a cheat, but not in the campaign.
@@jamesperkins191 I know the Kell Hounds deployed at least one Jenner, but I don't remember seeing the other two, and all of them were the Clan versions IIRC; the IS Jenner didn't get its own model or configuration until Mercenaries, and the Warhammer IIC and Marauder IIC are both Assault 'Mechs. If they did use the IS Warhammer and Marauder, both of which being Heavy 'Mechs, in the game anywhere, they both would have been underweight IICs as far as the game was concerned. And yeah, I knew that about the BattleMaster, Tarantula, and Elemental. It was cool, but the BattleMaster crashed the game if you tried to use it, so only NPCs were able to pilot it.
2:38 onward, I just picture a lone Atlas holding the line against clan heavies in close quarters urban fighting, trying to stop them blasting an evac dropship apart. He was the one who stayed behind...
Why is it that every Battletech Fan wants a flipping movie or TV show (and not the dumb stupid cheesy one back in the day.), and no one makes one? If you are a director or investor or whatever and you read this somehow, PLEASE MAKE A BATTLETECH TV SHOW/MOVIE!!! Everyone wants one, but people just don't make one. Super disappointing.
I remember when my friend got a novel where the clans 1st attacked. Their attack was so devastating that someone said something to the effect, "We're under attack by aliens!"
I was rather fond of the novel "By Blood Betrayed" about a kid who grows up to be a Mech pilot and joins the same unit his older brother had once been a member of, trying to figure out what happened to him. Turned out he had betrayed the others for the best reason of all: the other side offered to let him pilot a Timber Wolf.
Oh my gosh... I feel this perfectly conveys the dread everyone feels at the sight of a Timberwolf, followed by relentless fighting it then carries out... Perfect song for my favorite Battlemech. Extremely well done sir!
I have played mech warrior 4 when i was just 7 years old. Also played MechAssault and MechAssault 2 on the original xbox. I still get chills and get scared when i see one. No shooter or game how hard it is will ever get me the feeling of a battle between giant faceless walking tanks.
This entire song sends legitimate shivers down my spine. Very few songs do that to me. I will forever and always love this song and the Mechwarrior series until the day I die. Thank you for making these songs.
I remember seeing this game's CD lying around in one of dad's CD wallets growing up... but by the time I was old enough to want to play it, none of our computers were primitive enough to install it. :(
Heard this Theme while reading the last chapters of the Classic Jade Falcon Trilogy, third Book (Falcon Guard), while Aidan Prydes Battle at the End of the Book. That fits so absolutly fantastic together, that i have had Tears in my Eyes, because that Combination was so intense. Thank you so much for this amazing Remake. Please do not stop to make more of them. Your Music is so amazing.
Thank you for putting these back up (and making them in the first place). Just about everyone I know uses these in the background for music while playing MWO.
Voice on comm: "Sir! who or whoaa da hell is that thing?" Kell: "I...It..it's..." looks at display: IFF display voice: " (MAD)Marauder...(CAT)Catapult....(MAD)Marauder..(CAT)Catapult...(MAD)Marauder(CAT)Catapult....bzzzzzt....MAD....CAT:..MAD..CAT...MADCAT...MADCAT! Kell: "..its a.....trouble.." xD
Thank you timothy for bringing back some of the best game OST recreation i have ever heard. Feels so fitting that my favourite track you have shares the name of my all time favourite mech "TIMBER WOLF"
Wow, just happened on this today as I was doing a search for another piece of music and couldn't believe the quality of the music. Being a fan of the MechWarrior series in my much younger years, this is an excellent remaster worthy of praise. Fantastic work here, Timothy!
@Timothy Seals....Thank you so much for creating this. Battletech and mechwarrior was one of my favorite games of my childhood and you have done it so much justice. Including the sound bites gave me goosebumps.
I just released this album as a full mastered mix on my bandcamp timothy-seals.bandcamp.com/album/a-new-dawn The album mix is here ruclips.net/video/H_smBV2YBtk/видео.html
***** I'd still keep those videos up though man (unless you deleted them instead of just hiding them). There are links to them everywhere across forums and such, and now they'll be inaccessible and dead links =/
I would love to use this for my fan-project (a BattleTech/Star Wars crossover). Unfortunately, it is difficult to use music in a written narrative/roleplay
This is my kind of movie music. I can imagine a movie starting with a defeat that belongs to clan invasion. A desperate Inner Sphere trying to move assets. The movie ends with the battle of Tukkayid.
To be honest "BlackElementGamin" not really. I've played and completed all of them except for the first one (wasn't old enough). MWO is actually pretty awesome. Incredibly smooth, incredibly gorgeous, pretty polished gameplay with more to come. Because MW4 had some REAL good matchmaking back in the day, right? riiiiiiiiiight. I see where the problem is.
For MWO, since it is a Free2play, they have to deal with "balance" issues. They're going to nerf clan tech so its not so "overpowered." They just care about balance. Fuck balance. Stuff in games are supposed to be powerful, so why does PG think they can balance it when they should just leave it alone?
So that it's fun for everyone? I'm sorry but last time I checked this is a GAME, not REAL WAR. I'm looking to have fun, not get stomped into oblivion. I'm looking to just MAYBE have 1 kill a match, or at least help contribute to my team.
So you come to a remix of MW2 a TRUE mechwarrior game not that "thing" you so profess to be amazing to publicize an obscenity... Show yourself to the door white knight.
Masterpiece! Listening to this music, in my head i see a picture of timberwolf/mad cat sentry in thick fog. Barely visible, almost motionless...Guarding his perimeter.
Yeah. Gonna use this as part of an MWO playlist. And it is definitely gonna be my primary song when I run my Timber Wolf. It has been my favorite Mech since I read my first BattleTech book when I was 12.
I would be awestruck if they used this music for the Clan release in MWO. If not, I'll definitely be playing this while I pilot my Timber Wolf and Dire Wolf. x3
I somehow got linked this as being a video response to my own arrangement I'm glad I did, this is some awesome music dude, I love it! By the way, what samples did you use for the percussion?
I wonder if a Mad Cat would purr if you scratched it behind the missile pods...
If it went ara ara i would rig the reactor to overheat itself
Real question is, would a Mad Dog bark if you pet it!
@@RepublicanGuardMan If it says ara ara, I think it would be the perfect time to deploy a star of Dire Wolf mechs to destroy it.

There was no way he could come out of this battle alive. The flames would envelope him again. For one of the few times in his life, he laughed.

Why is it that every Battletech Fan wants a flipping movie or TV show (and not the dumb stupid cheesy one back in the day.), and no one makes one? If you are a director or investor or whatever and you read this somehow, PLEASE MAKE A BATTLETECH TV SHOW/MOVIE!!! Everyone wants one, but people just don't make one. Super disappointing.
I remember when my friend got a novel where the clans 1st attacked. Their attack was so devastating that someone said something to the effect, "We're under attack by aliens!"
I was rather fond of the novel "By Blood Betrayed" about a kid who grows up to be a Mech pilot and joins the same unit his older brother had once been a member of, trying to figure out what happened to him. Turned out he had betrayed the others for the best reason of all: the other side offered to let him pilot a Timber Wolf.
@@VegetaLF7 It's like these folks could actually make fantastic stories and characters in a vast universe!
I prefer the novel where space Palestine wins.
Oh my gosh... I feel this perfectly conveys the dread everyone feels at the sight of a Timberwolf, followed by relentless fighting it then carries out... Perfect song for my favorite Battlemech. Extremely well done sir!
It is not a matter of practicality, it is a matter of soul. Man as a giant, towering over nature: that symbol grants its wielders immense power.
I have played mech warrior 4 when i was just 7 years old. Also played MechAssault and MechAssault 2 on the original xbox. I still get chills and get scared when i see one. No shooter or game how hard it is will ever get me the feeling of a battle between giant faceless walking tanks.
Dude chills running through my body listening to this. The nostalgic overload is crazy
The Chills!! Love this remake!
This series would make for such an epic movie
This entire song sends legitimate shivers down my spine. Very few songs do that to me. I will forever and always love this song and the Mechwarrior series until the day I die. Thank you for making these songs.
I remember seeing this game's CD lying around in one of dad's CD wallets growing up... but by the time I was old enough to want to play it, none of our computers were primitive enough to install it. :(
SerialSnowmanKiller search for a mexhwarrior emulator and you can play it!
Mechwarrior 5 has just been announced! Fukken hyped!
I'd love to write music for this!
That would be amazing!
its going to be a shit cash grab since PGI is developing it
Brain problems?
"BANNED FOR GIVING A BAD REVIEW"
Heard this Theme while reading the last chapters of the Classic Jade Falcon Trilogy, third Book (Falcon Guard), while Aidan Prydes Battle at the End of the Book. That fits so absolutly fantastic together, that i have had Tears in my Eyes, because that Combination was so intense.
Thank you so much for this amazing Remake. Please do not stop to make more of them. Your Music is so amazing.
Thank you for putting these back up (and making them in the first place).
Just about everyone I know uses these in the background for music while playing MWO.
You got me.
The timberwolf is something else man it's soo cooool
Voice on comm: "Sir! who or whoaa da hell is that thing?"
Kell: "I...It..it's..." looks at display:
IFF display voice: " (MAD)Marauder...(CAT)Catapult....(MAD)Marauder..(CAT)Catapult...(MAD)Marauder(CAT)Catapult....bzzzzzt....MAD....CAT:..MAD..CAT...MADCAT...MADCAT!
Kell: "..its a.....trouble.." xD
Wow dude you are the man. Like I'm always playing the original score when I play MWO. This just makes it even more awesome. Thank you for this.
"Conquest, it's the way of life for the mechwarrior."
Tim, your music is godly. They should hire you for the next mechwarrior game/movie.
Nothing makes you question your life choices like seeing a star of Madcats in the distance.
I could hold on against a whole Clan while hearing this.
dmaxcustom I think this is the kind of music when Rogue Clanners come to your aid.
Gaden Kerensky As long they are willing to sink their feet in molten metal, I don´t mind.
dmaxcustom What you mean by that?
And I'd hold the line with the rest of the Wardens.
Hold on to your wet underwear you mean, freeborn.
Thank you timothy for bringing back some of the best game OST recreation i have ever heard. Feels so fitting that my favourite track you have shares the name of my all time favourite mech "TIMBER WOLF"
All systems nominal... Let`s rock!
I happily bought this album just now, thank you so much for remaking this amazing music! *Nostalgia Intensifies*
Wow, just happened on this today as I was doing a search for another piece of music and couldn't believe the quality of the music. Being a fan of the MechWarrior series in my much younger years, this is an excellent remaster worthy of praise. Fantastic work here, Timothy!
Incredible!!! Those drums are incredible!! Music to win a soundtrack award!!!
3:05 Whut mech iz that???
mwo needs this man
As a big fan of the original Mech2 soundtrack, fantastic compilation!
Of course. The best mech of the bunch needs the most epic theme of them all :D.
@Timothy Seals....Thank you so much for creating this. Battletech and mechwarrior was one of my favorite games of my childhood and you have done it so much justice. Including the sound bites gave me goosebumps.
Tim, why are only four of your tracks available now, where as before I had subscribed to all of them, and could listen and enjoy them much :)
I just released this album as a full mastered mix on my bandcamp

I'd still keep those videos up though man (unless you deleted them instead of just hiding them). There are links to them everywhere across forums and such, and now they'll be inaccessible and dead links =/
Now I just hope MW5 lives up to the legacy.
They didnt care ..about Epicness
....it didn't. Thanks Piranha.
Initial release was pretty lackluster, but the Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC really made it an enjoyable experience.
WOW!....We have a badass over here!
Excellent soundtrack, Hollywood needs to build a movie around this with all the same seriousness and drama of ww2 flicks. No high-fiver shows.
'All systems nominal'
Man that still Kicks beautifully
MWLL (Mechwarrior living legends) could really use someone with musical talent, all we have right now is some MW2 tracks on loop.
which track from Mechwarrior 2 is this one based on?
I don't think that it is based off of any of them.
It's based on Bouk Obelisk
I would love to use this for my fan-project (a BattleTech/Star Wars crossover). Unfortunately, it is difficult to use music in a written narrative/roleplay
this is really, really good. so glad to have found this
How am I just finding this awesomeness?
Can one use this soundtrack in a video game gameplay ? this is one of the best songs i heard this year
MW5 Realism Audio Project mod for Mechwarrior 5 includes these.
porting over these tracks to mech 5 was so worth it, hands down 100x better then the vanilla music, thank you so much for creating these tracks! :D
When I heard "All systems nominals"... I remembered so many good times at the helm of my mecha. Best Game Soundtrack of all times
This is my kind of movie music. I can imagine a movie starting with a defeat that belongs to clan invasion. A desperate Inner Sphere trying to move assets. The movie ends with the battle of Tukkayid.
this is as good as a 100 million dollar films soundtrack
this track is a masterpiece. cant thank u enough @timothy seals
The MWO franchise WILL live as the king of all shooters for me. And it still reigns.
MWO is shit, honestly. Nothing like the old Mechwarriors.
To be honest "BlackElementGamin" not really. I've played and completed all of them except for the first one (wasn't old enough). MWO is actually pretty awesome. Incredibly smooth, incredibly gorgeous, pretty polished gameplay with more to come. Because MW4 had some REAL good matchmaking back in the day, right? riiiiiiiiiight. I see where the problem is.
For MWO, since it is a Free2play, they have to deal with "balance" issues. They're going to nerf clan tech so its not so "overpowered." They just care about balance. Fuck balance. Stuff in games are supposed to be powerful, so why does PG think they can balance it when they should just leave it alone?
So that it's fun for everyone? I'm sorry but last time I checked this is a GAME, not REAL WAR. I'm looking to have fun, not get stomped into oblivion. I'm looking to just MAYBE have 1 kill a match, or at least help contribute to my team.
So you come to a remix of MW2 a TRUE mechwarrior game not that "thing" you so profess to be amazing to publicize an obscenity... Show yourself to the door white knight.
The combination of music and Betty gives me chills every time, sweet sweet memories!
This truly is a tour de force. Really atmospheric. Nostalgic and yet enhances the original. Love it!
Epically cinematic. Forge ahead no matter what the odds. Must complete mission, remember your training.
still waiting on a movie since 95'
Amazing I love this how do I download this version?
Which is the most iconic 'Mech in the franchise? Atlas / Timber Wolf / Marauder what do you guys think?
Marauder, Warhammer, Locust, Timberwolf, Vulture
Timber Wolf. It's literally the logo mech. Hard to be more iconic than being the representation of the entire series.
Can i use your musique for streaming on my channel i want use it for twitch :)
A badass track for a badass mech
Masterpiece! Listening to this music, in my head i see a picture of timberwolf/mad cat sentry in thick fog. Barely visible, almost motionless...Guarding his perimeter.
What is this a remake of? I can't find it on the original album.
Yeah. Gonna use this as part of an MWO playlist. And it is definitely gonna be my primary song when I run my Timber Wolf. It has been my favorite Mech since I read my first BattleTech book when I was 12.
I would be awestruck if they used this music for the Clan release in MWO.
If not, I'll definitely be playing this while I pilot my Timber Wolf and Dire Wolf. x3
is there an version available of this music without the voiceovers?
I somehow got linked this as being a video response to my own arrangement
I'm glad I did, this is some awesome music dude, I love it!
By the way, what samples did you use for the percussion?
Where can this track be downloaded? I bought the album in the link, but this track isn't on it.
download link in description
Thanks, Timothy!
5:57 when I get too excited firing off all my guns after completing a mission.
