Actually i get several requests for game knowledge - almost none for ingame features or technical aid. I decided to make a guide for players. Actually the Primal´s MC Guide seems to be out of sale on most of the selling platforms now. So here will be the information you are all waiting for:
Play it the right way!
- How to play succesful MechCommander
- How to win Missions instead of suffering in pieces
- How to fight the toughest battles
- How to control, move & coordinate lances right
First let´s get back to 1998-2000 for short. Maurice Fitzgerald released two great MechCommander Articles back in the day which give new players an extended overview of what players have to expect, when they decide to download and play it. It is splitted into two parts. Have fun reading and report when site goes offline, i have complete data backup here:
- Part I: MechCommander Review - Part 1
- Part II: MechCommander Review - Part 2
- Part III: MechCommander Gold Review - Part 1
- Part IV: MechCommander Gold Review - Part 2
- Another review from Glideunderground.com!
"Adapt, improvise and overcome!"
-- Turbo, Undisputed III
Feedback for that idea would be nice - would be enough motivation to make it faster. The original manual had 135 pages, others over 300. There is NO WAY to explain the essence of MechCommander Tactics in short. You need to understand the game mechanics, that affords time and training. Or a good read before starting & playing knowledgeless. MechCommander isn't Candy'Crush and definitely isn't a "simple" game. Even when it's old... it is and was always very competitive. With redoing some missions again and again your results will change. You will climb from level to level. That's MechCommander!
