Back when Activision was actually good

NCRZombie · 2012-09-10T20:42:37+00:00

http://mwomercs.com/ Shaping up to be VERY good so far.

Mech Warrior 2: Mercenaries was what started me on the whole mech kick. Those were good times...

jusu · 2012-09-10T19:15:18+00:00

That will always the MW2 for me. Screw the other games.

BumrushSC2 · 2012-09-10T23:59:10+00:00

Anyone remember ReVolt? that was activision wasn't it? That shit was cray

harakirijohn · 2012-09-11T01:09:02+00:00

Last time I checked they still release very good games from time to time...

But you you might be right HURRDURR EA ACTIVISION PRIME EVILS.

or the first soldier of fortune, i loved that game

Pigfloop · 2012-09-11T02:03:30+00:00

The one with a minigun for a face was unreal but the Timberwolf will always be my favourite.

hapaxLegomina · 2012-09-11T03:50:50+00:00

HOOAH!

I still vividly remember the computer voice at the beginning of every level saying "all systems nominal." I bought a MW2 CD pack with all the expansion kits despite not having owned a windows computer for years. One day. One. Day.

Spikor · 2012-09-10T20:51:13+00:00

This will always be what I think of when I see Activision.

Mr. Renda I'm disappointed in you.

anonspersona · 2012-09-11T00:47:23+00:00

This game brings back so many memories.

ahovahov8 · 2012-09-11T01:59:55+00:00

The era before MW2 was when Activision was actually respected. Tony Hawk games were the shit, Call of Duty map packs were $10 for a fair amount of content, and they weren't shoving things down your throat. Back then people used to say "Fuck EA, Activision is the best company ever!"

Noxislight · 2012-09-11T02:16:42+00:00

Why wont any develloper take this and mix it with that and make a game like BF2142.

KrampusBeats · 2012-09-11T02:40:05+00:00

I played the shit out of this game, I had a joystick and everything.

Enemy mech destroyed :D

Am_I_Annoying · 2012-09-11T02:40:22+00:00

I have this game and haven't played it yet. Is it any good?

dathom · 2012-09-11T03:22:30+00:00

Best Intro Ever

I've got a working version on dosbox that I still play from time to time. So good. MW2 wasn't bad, but Mercenaries will always be #1.

Big-Baby-Jesus · 2012-09-10T22:16:21+00:00

The immense bravery of this post is an inspiration to us all.

dropkickninja · 2012-09-10T19:37:53+00:00

this was badass back in the day. still the game i always think of whenever someone says mw2

krenzo · 2012-09-11T01:01:08+00:00

This is so true, not because it was a good game, but because MW2 was in development hell for a long time. A lesser publisher would have said "screw it" and shipped it out the door in its poor state. Instead, they restarted development and waited. It was covered in magazines for years and was vaporware for a long time, but it was worth the wait when it finally came out. Then, they also released the multiplayer add-on pack, Netmech, for free after the original release. It was a good time to be a trueborn.

maxpayne485 · 2012-09-10T23:38:52+00:00

I LITERALLY JUST FOUND MY CD FOR THIS GAME!!!

K__a__M__I · 2012-09-10T20:38:52+00:00

When Activision was actually still Activision.

FTFY

ShiningRayde · 2012-09-10T22:32:49+00:00

The best part of this game for me now: In the scanning cargo training mission, one of the boxes is labeled: HERC PARTS (USELESS)

I shed a manly tear.

Ell223 · 2012-09-10T21:13:35+00:00

How many times are we going to have Mech Warrior 2 posted on this god awful subreddit?

I thought they did a great job on Tony Hawks Underground.

caql9vin · 2012-09-11T00:31:54+00:00

I loved this game!....despite the fact that I was terrible at it.

earthenorange · 2012-09-11T01:02:51+00:00

Whenever I see a post that says MW2 or MW3, this is what I think of.

zimboy94 · 2012-09-11T01:39:47+00:00

This... was... THE SHIIIIIIIIT!

red3yejedi · 2012-09-11T01:51:15+00:00

Netmech on Kali anyone?

K4ge · 2012-09-11T02:26:43+00:00

Mech Warrior 2 came with our very first family computer, an NEC with Windows 95 and a Pentium I processor.

We got a fairly think booklet with a bunch of software, including some pretty great games (Mech Warrior 2, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Wipeout, among others).

This was also back when we thought the paper clip guy in Microsoft Word was cute.

mynameisomar · 2012-09-11T02:27:57+00:00

Hey, the new Spider-Man game wasn't bad.

IWasZack99 · 2012-09-11T03:01:33+00:00

I could pilot the shit out of Hellbringer before I was even allowed to say it's name

lowScore · 2012-09-11T03:32:30+00:00

This was my favorite Mech game.

Vargolol · 2012-09-11T04:23:54+00:00

From time to time I feel the need to go onto youtube and listen to the whole soundtrack, then it's systems nominal for the rest of the day!

welfaretrain · 2012-09-11T04:30:11+00:00

I played this game for hours back in the day and I have yet to actually figure out what to do. I still loved every second of it.

Grizak · 2012-09-11T04:45:55+00:00

I still play Jedi Knight 2 (and sometimes Academy, but I don't like admitting that too much.) I also still play Call of Duty 2. Activision still hods a special place in my heart, even if I don't particularly like what they've been doing lately.

BubbleGumSelf · 2012-09-11T05:05:04+00:00

Having two computers and a brother made this oh so epic.

Darqon · 2012-09-11T05:16:06+00:00

I HAVE THIS GAME! It's right next to me and I haven't played it in a decade. Was thinking about a short playthrough on YT.

MalekTaktak · 2012-09-11T05:25:08+00:00

Obligatory Spiderman 1 & 2

1leggeddog · 2012-09-11T05:49:07+00:00

My first Pc game i ever played online.

and still the BEST SOUNDTRACK OF ANY GAME, EVER.

virtualmatrix555 · 2012-09-11T05:56:10+00:00

Ugh. I had this back in the day, when I moved out of my house when I was 15 my dad took a box of my old PC games (including this) and lit it on fire...kills me. Although seeing the name Acitivision on such a good game title is eye boggling.

JamaicanHopscotchM · 2012-09-11T05:59:07+00:00

I got excited until I saw that they're selling every aspect piece mail which makes me sad.

pcgame-jedi · 2012-09-11T06:06:51+00:00

Every time I see a new Activision CoD MW game I think of MechWarrior instead.

zip99 · 2012-09-11T06:19:02+00:00

epic soundtrack

Mavrik85 · 2012-09-11T06:29:00+00:00

Those were great times...

Learned a ton about how computer software works as a teenager when I kept modding the game and playing online (mercenaries). Good old windows 95.

Had to lead the targets like crazy with those dial up modems, hah.

KingMarcMarc · 2012-09-11T06:40:04+00:00

I got this game in a pack of free games and programs with my first Sony Viao... The fuckin' good 'ol days, ladies... The good 'ol days. What the hell happened? Cheers.

ghostretch · 2012-09-11T07:07:42+00:00

I miss this game so much.

dirmaster0 · 2012-09-11T07:12:57+00:00

I still love Mechwarrior & Battletech >.> <.< It holds a place in my heart forever!

murderbum999 · 2012-09-11T07:17:22+00:00

I've always wanted a good mech game. I missed out on that genre, turning into an outback kid for a decade before getting back into computers.

sopa-steve · 2012-09-11T07:25:22+00:00

I only have one thing to say...enola gay.

setrakakan · 2012-09-11T07:52:07+00:00

I.. actually preferred Armored Core to Mechwarrior.

QueefMuffin · 2012-09-11T07:57:02+00:00

Enemy mech, destroyed.

i loved this game <3

Jesusthecarpenter · 2012-09-11T08:33:20+00:00

Did they make vigilante 8?? I played that game loads.

cloudedknife · 2012-09-11T08:39:32+00:00

It's just unfortunate that they then sat on the rights (while not using them) while the original "inventor" of the game was trying desperately to get all the (now scattered) publishing rights back under one roof so the game could be brought back to life. Took so damn long the game was still dead after he succeeded.

I still have all my FASA books and wish more than any other table top game that i could play it again.

Ethendasean · 2012-09-11T08:56:24+00:00

So much love for the Mechwarrior series!

SteveRestless · 2012-09-11T00:09:13+00:00

Best Mechwarrior game(Considering 2/gbl/2mercs as one game.) 3 was Second Best. Wish they'd remake this with modern graphics.

WHM-6R · 2012-09-11T02:01:59+00:00

Well OP's post may be brave, but I think all of the people jumping on the bravery bandwagon are the true SO BRAVE heroes of this thread.

anikan72 · 2012-09-11T02:05:02+00:00

Yeah! Fuck Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Call of Duty 1 and 4, Guitar Hero 2 & 3, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro! Activision was only good in 1995!

Defiantish · 2012-09-11T02:23:51+00:00

whats with the hate with activision? Don't need to fix anything that is making them 8 figure numbers every release

CoD4 was amazing. What came after it, not so good but the first Modern Warfare was brilliant.

Owlskickass · 2012-09-11T03:47:14+00:00

DAE remember this game XD

OMG Call of Duty is so bad lolol
