Mechwarrior 2 Remake Project (Jade Falcon Campaign update)

2025 UPDATE: This project is now being made for Mechwarrior 5: Clans and you can go play the much improved version here: https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5clans/mods/30.

Old post:

While making all the classic mechs for Mechwarrior 5, I've also learned mission scripting and modding thanks to PGI's excellent mission tutorials by Thad Jantzi (thank you a ton Thad!). The project that I've undertaken is to recreate the iconic and legendary Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat in MW5's engine using the classic mechs. So far this is only the first mission 'Pyre Light' in the Wolf Campaign.

You should approach this as a sort of demo of what's possible with the mission modding in Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries. I would love to remake the entirety of Mechwarrior 2 with both the Jade Falcon and Wolf campaigns. But this would be a big endeavor, so this demo is to gauge how many are actually interested, how many actually like what I'm able to create, and how many would support and appreciate such a project. So let me know in the comments or over social media if you like the result of the many, many, many hours of work that I put into this. The appreciation is what drives me to spend my evenings after my jobs are done and my family is asleep, so it means a lot if people actually like what I do. Especially as only one person doing everything. So thank you all.

If the interest and appreciation is high enough, I will continue to remake Mechwarrior 2. You can support my mech modding and occasional Mechwarrior 2 Remake efforts on the Patreon

How to play:

• []Make sure the mod overwrites other mods.

  []Start the MW2 Remake by selecting Career and browsing to the right until you hit the MW2 Remake 'faction'.

  []Do not enable this mod for regular campaign playthroughs as it changes up parts of the main systems!

  []YAML is currently unsupported! YAML support might come later, but right now this is just a quick demo showcase so I recommend trying it out without YAML for a quick run. I also want the Reactor Explosion & Ejection mod to replicate how it looks in MW2.

  Upcoming features

  • []Integrate the MW2 Cinematics (RAD Tools aren't replying to my e-mails so that I cannot get the bink2 plugin for Premiere)

    []Mission 2: Flame Tongue

    []Timothy Seals version

  My future hopes is to remake in Mechwarrior 5 Clans with four versions:
  • []With PGI's Clan mechs and Jeehun Hwang's classic music

    []With the classic Clan mechs and Jeehun Hwang's classic music

    []With PGI's Clan mechs and Timothy Seal's re-interpretations

    []With the classic Clan mechs and Timothy Seal's re-interpretations
