Favorite mech from MechWarrior 2! I should just get into BattleTech, how's the franchise these days?

The tabletop game seems to be doing well, only behind Warhammer 40k, afaik. Mechwarrior 5 has been met with mostly positive reviews, if you want the experience of actually piloting a mech. Mechwarrior Online is still around, pretty much unchanged since 2013, every mech has a free, non customizable version you can pilot.

For a tactical PC game very akin to the tabletop, BATTLETECH is the most recent, with fuckloads of DLC.

Is that a Metal Gear... for a cat? That's awesome!

It's a Timber Wolf from Battletech/MechWarrior also known as a Mad Cat because on radar, it would flicker between Marauder (MAD), and Catapult (CAT).

Wow, I casually enjoyed the video games and just thought that the name of that mech was Madcat, had no idea about the whole story. Battletech/Mechwarrior lore is intense.
