It took hundreds of hours over more than a year to get here, but I have finally recreated the Mechwarrior 2 opening cinematic

Gfycat extract for those at work/on teeny devices/etc. Note: The embedded version of the gfy is of much lower quality here than directly on gfycat, not sure if this is always the case with gfys.

That last bloody GBL mission where you have to jumpjet up through the hole in the ship was so frustrating. Actually, GBL is the one I remember the least, except for that mission and the one prior (in which activitision valiantly attempted to to make a river and waterfall using their engine which had absolutely no ability to do rivers or waterfalls)

Edit: Oh yeah, and the underwater mission, I think that was also GBL

The trick, as I recall, was to alpha as many mechas as possible with 4 simultaneous PPCs before they had a chance to start up.
