And Maybe SlamHammer was seen playing out there.. Most everybody likes that guy because we all thought he served in the military. I played with him in GDL under the name of Kahless for over a year with Pain-967 and Tinker. - I was always his wing man. But it never mattered what the plan was or how organized we were – just as soon as we dropped Slam Hammer would walk off and do his own thing regardless of the mission update . After awhile - another MechWarrior followed him out there , and then a few more spoke up - “Hey… what are you guys doing out there? - Come with us and find out - all the while breaking formation and dividing up the group. After awhile - as many as 4 MechWarrior pilots joined with him and his group on their own privet mission and because of that - we mostly lost. 976-Pain would be all upset about it. But what can you do? You can’t slander Slam and get away with it - Ever body liked that guy - He was even offered command of GDL and then turned it down a few times …and so the problem was never solved. After awhile there was no organized group of MechWarrior’s in GDL . Just another bunch of pilots who wanted to play the game and the heck with mission or the teamwork. I left there shortly after we got into Tribes where everybody was trying to capture the flag and I was the only one left defending the base. Before I left - I sent messaged all of them - That GDL HAS no teamwork – it’s all FUBAR - and ever since then I put a target on my back with GDL

Slamhammer was National Guard, Engineer. He was vying for a CSM slot last I talked with him.

Hey that’s cool , he must be in the military reserve officer program , otherwise he could be a full Lieutenant or Captain by now. I bet he seen some combat in his day .

My nephew is serving in the Navy in a SAR helicopter stationed on a surface combat ship . A few times they went CSAR - and he has some stories to tell. Now days he’s a firefighter, but he's still a Navy reserve officer as well serving one week a month.

One time, he said their helicopter touched down to pick up a few military personal at night who were wearing camouflage. During the flight - they kept quiet .. he noticed they didn’t have any military insignias, patches or any dog tags. They were on a covert operation , must have been Delta Force.

I still have this unopened box. I wish I had saved some MW2 and Netmech screenshots.

That brings back some memories. I remember Raptor and Sub Zero always had their own room in Kali95. I would drop by and say hello all the time . And Yes, I was actually the one who took the time and taught Raptor how to lag shoot. He couldn't hit the broadside of a barn back in those days and when it came to lag shooting - he had no idea what I was talking about..... so we dropped and I had to explain it to him - I let him hit my mech several times and blow up my Timber Wolf a dozen times before he got it right. But in the end he was a back stabber – when he and his bunch of rebels came in and took over Clan Wolf that me and Dark Strider were commanding. More like stole it- when they challenged me to a dual for leadership , and during the battle – Raptor was up on the City Building yelling out my position every few seconds. “ He’s over There “ Right Behind You! “ So Even with my ECM turned off I couldn’t sneak up on my opponent and get a good shot in thanks to Raptor. So he was a cheater and a backstabber which is why I never brought it up before now.. What a prick he turned out to be.

The best of times:


I actually dropped with Sun Tzu one time and he smoked every Mech on the Battlefield. This guy was an ACE Pilot all the way - and it was an honor to play with him.

Anyway that’s a nice collectable. I wonder if it might be worth something someday. I see an open item - Mech Warrior 2 The Titanium Trilogy PC on eBay for $30. Tempting... I haven’t played in MW2 since forever , and I remember a good single player campaign but mostly the music got me in the rhythm..

Screw It! I just went ahead and bought it. Comes with MechWarrior 2 , MechWarrior Ghost Bear Expansion pack , and MechWarrior Mercenaries - (which I forgot all about.) Now I will need a flight stick to play it. Hah!

Too bad it’s only single player. You should get a VKB gladiator NXT if you can afford it. Widely regarded as a great budget stick. Alternatively you can get a Thrustmaster T16000, but you’ll need to grease it. Even though it’s single player, I’m tempted to buy it. I spent countless hours playing MW Mercenaries and ghostbear. Loved Mercenaries.

i agree. with no MP I am not really that interested. There is MWO, but it is quite different than the MW we used to play.

Right - I tried to find Kali98 and came up empty - except for the post I found here in RLG.

I had no idea anyone else in here would be even slightly interested in this old game , but it’s nice to know! We use to have a file sharing link here in RLG about 10 years ago on the old server. . ( I think ) If you could find someone who can send you the ISO file - then you could just burn your own CD. But keep it on the down low , and don’t tell Steal Hammer Man about that. :)

I ordered a cheaper ThrustMaster T-Flight Stick, It should get here this week - as long as the pitch yaw has an easy feel , and it glides well - then it’s a keeper. I always used my keyboard to adjust the Mechs speed and set the firing solution.

Is MWO still active?

I found a link that said By early 2020, MechWarrior Online had reached its lowest point. ... Although the servers remained online, few players meant extra-long wait times for MechWarrior Online's matches to start, and so PGI declared official updates for the game would end in January of 2020.

I'm getting into MWO games with very little waiting.
