Mechwarrior Online

[Taneru]

I started with the Twilight of the Clans. Great books. I unfortunately never owned the first four but I still have V-VIII somewhere.

Twilight of the Clans was fantastic.

The Blood of Kerensky and Saga of the Grey Death Legion trilogies both shouldn't be missed, and the latter was pretty much the first Battletech novels.



Also, whatever you do, skip over Far Country.

MW4 is fun on a smaller scale against friends. It -can- be fun with certain groups on the larger servers, but you'll find most matches quickly dissolve into absurdly balanced matches of almost hilariously stupid jumping assault mechs bunny hopping from behind buildings to snipe at one another with massive alpha strike setups or lumbering around city arenas with full inferno rocket setups looking for, again, massive alpha strike setups.

Jump sniping...

ALL OF MY HATE.
