Hello there. Please enjoy your stay.

[Rodo]

Oh well, look at that!
Our first non-fs mod hosted, welcome guys to HLP community 

[Droid803]

Oh cool. We're expanding!

[CommanderDJ]

Good to have you guys around.

[SpardaSon21]

I won't say no to more BattleTech/MechWarrior stuff.

[achtung]

Interesting. Give us details.

[Scotty]

What.

when did this i dont even

Please tell me this is new and I haven't been skimming over it in my daily forum browsing for approaching two year now.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Why isn't this released yet!!!










Sorry someone had to do it,

[Scotty]

I just had a random thought:  What's this going to do to the Hard-Light wiki?  Nothing?  Additions to encompass MC2 models and characters as well?

[Black Wolf]

Nothing, since it's the Freespace wiki, not the Hard Light wiki

[Scotty]

Oh.  Right.

I blame my lack of sleep for this.

[Starman01]

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome guys, already three threads in here, I wanted to be first, shouldn't have gone shopping first I'm really happy that I'm accepted here, even if this is a non freespace mod

I prepared a welcome post, now I need to get my friends drag over here, and maybe look for even more members

I would volunteer, because MC2 is hands down one of my favorite games ever (trumps FreeSpace, sorry to say guys), but I don't have any code experience, which is what I assume you're looking for.

[Starman01]

I also can't code But that doesn't hold me from creating new models and images, I just work a little forward and hope that the necessary changes will follow.

I was trying to remember the spiel off the back of the MC1 box, but I can't. Pity, it was good.

We'll only have cause to fight if you like MC2 more than MC1.

[Scotty]

I started with MC2.  I learned to appreciate the aesthetics of MC2.  It's like comparing FS2 to FS1.  I like both, but the second is clearly my favorite.

[Starman01]

Hm, hard to tell. To a certain degree, I also liked MC 2 more than MC1, but mostly because it has an editor and I could play in more than 1024 resolution. Besides that, it was ok, but it didn't get me as exited as once MC 1 did. It had better story (taking place in OP Bulldog), and the missions somehow even "looked" better, though it was only 640 resolution, and had a few nice animations. (I remember the cool breaking down building probs ) MC2 missions and engine always were quite ugly and lowres, sort of like mission areas in MW4. And that I bought the german version, sucked twice as much The mechs and vehicles didn't blew me away either. It's now better because there are so many more models available right now.

Unfortunately I never could play the MC1 addon, it wasn't published in Germany. But one of my team mates wants to rebuild both MC1 campaigns, so with a little patient.......

[General Battuta]

Yeah, there's no question MC1 looked better graphically, including some incredibly good sprite work. And ultimately I thought the story and gameplay were better too.
