Ah yes. The game that got me addicted to computer games. Even though it ran like crap on my poor 486, I still have fond memories of loading up a Timber Wolf with lasers and heat sinks and just going to town on those dirty Jade Falcons. It was the first (and last) MechWarrior game (Mercenaries and Ghost Bear not included, since they are more of expansions than sequels) to be truly faithful to the tabletop Battletech weapons loadout rules.
Although, I am thankful they changed the PPC in MW3. The shots were too slow to be of any real use, and I'd laugh whenever the enemy fielded a Marauder MkII (unless it was heavy street fighting with no room to run, then I'd break out into a sweat).
Good times.
