Mech Commander 2 was superior to 1 IMO. But my favorite of all time has to have been Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries.

I've played two mech games - armored core 4 and chromehounds - both of which I hated. Armored core was way too fast-paced, hard to control and not much fun, and chromehounds was slow-paced, not much fun with crappy mech designs. Plus it was designed as a multiplayer game with a thin pretence of singleplayer thrown in at (seemingly) the last minute.
Could anyone suggest a mech game I might like?
Hell, ideally someone should just make the Metal Gear fight from MGS4 into a full game. Haven't played it myself, but that bit always looks so goddamn awesome.

Chromehounds on 360 was OK, though the weapons and builds were a bit limited (even though there were a fair few components). I was in the number 2 ranked clan for a while (Evolution). Not played it for ages now though
Played a few of the Mechwarrior games which were fun.
The last mech game I played before that though was Earthsiege - great game

Really, even mech warrior gold with the added campaign? Not taking a jab at you just curious what made you like it more than MC1 as for me the first had good missions, the second was a little more cartoony which is why I prefer first one. Even the campaign i second one was a little mehish as you bounce between houses. but least colours could be picked.
I do find its salvage system interesting though, flying in and picking up a mech you just busted up only to wish you hadn't mauled it quite as much.
do agree MW2 was solid game, and MW4 with addon packs was great fun while it lasted.

MW2 was too railroaded, I preferred Mercs because of its general freedom-- not quite freeform mind you, but still more than the other MW games.

I never could get into Armored Core. I did enjoy Mechwarrior 2 and 4. I have many fond memories of those games. I also liked Front Mission 4, first time I'd seen mecha in that style of game.
