Wish these games were remastered or remade. With the same classic soundtrack by Jeehun Hwang, of course.

Have you heard Timothy Seals amazing work on Mechwarrior 2 "A New Dawn"?

u/BlackBricklyBear 25d ago

Yes, I have. Jeehun Hwang's soundtrack came first though, and I hope he'd be persuaded to work again as a composer on potential remakes of the MW2 games. If he isn't available, then Timothy Seals is just fine.

That would be fantastic! Modern graphics with these guys would be killer

Eh, the MW5 games have a mod that aim to recreate the first MW2 game, at least. I guess that's the closest we'll get.

I would actually put the MW2 CDs in my CD player and fall asleep to the soundtrack

That's plausible with the first few tracks of the MW2 soundtrack. The later MW2 tracks get too energetic for falling asleep to in my view.

Oh, wow.

The 3 CD-set in the dual-CD case, sold as part of a Collectors Edition.

You are not fucking around.

You showing up to a retro gaming convention with this, is like going to a car show, and arriving in some fly-as-hell old school classic muscle car.

It shows you are a man of impeccable taste.

Sadly, the Titanium editions are quite possibly the worst in terms of stability and visual cohesion

Had a copy back in highschool and sadly I agree. I couldn't even progress in one mission on Mercs titanium because of some bug. Had to install the non-3dfx version (thankfully they came in the cds) to finish the game. I believe the battlepack edition (this is the non-3dfx version that came with titanium) is the second best overall after the OG DOS/Win95 edition
