In depth

A closer look at MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries

The year is now 3039. Millions of people have died in the brutal power struggles known as the Succession Wars, and the five Houses of the Successor States continue to press their claims to supremacy. War has become a way of life. The current climate of war makes it financially beneficial to be a MechWarrior Mercenary who owns a BattleMech; a commodity that becomes more valuable every day. You must use wit and skill to survive as a mercenary, either by joining an existing or creating your own elite mercenary squad, then selling your services to the House that bids highest. In the end, the mercenary will face the ultimate test of combat experience and skill--the Battle of Tukayyid.

Your performance will result in multiple potential outcomes. Destroy your enemy and salvage spare parts from the battlefield. Strategically engage your opponent, as damage is carried from one battle to the next, until repaired.

The game features modem-to-modem, local area network, and serial connection gameplay.
