41st Mecha Sim Division Heavy Gear 2 Championship - Jade Harpy vs Northern Guard

Описание: For anyone not familiar, Heavy Gear can be flippantly described as Battletech's younger brother. It's not as popular as Battletech, and even the video game series started mainly as Activision's way to compete with FASA after they lost the Mechwarrior license after releasing MW2 Mercs, but that doesn't make it less worthy of attention by any means. This series is just as mechanically complex as Mechwarrior at its best, with a gritty story of political turmoil fed by a rampant military-industrial complex. And thanks to the hard work of one Mr Wholesome, both games have been repackaged and updated to work on modern machines and look good doing it! Here's the link with the downloads and instructions:   / co.  .

In an effort to bring this game back to life, Mr Wholesome and the rest of the Heavy Gear fans at the 41st Mecha Sim Division Discord decided to set up a multiplayer server and start holding friendly tournaments. They were gracious enough to let me sign up despite having almost no experience with Heavy Gear and I'm glad they did! It's been a blast learning more about the universe and building a really mean Gear to fight in these arena bouts!

This is the championship round of that tournament, and a rematch against the player who beat me in Round 2, Northern Guard! I fought my hardest and did much better than last time, but despite the championship being a best of 5 rather than a best of 3, he still managed to soundly defeat me three rounds in a row on three different maps to clinch the championship! I'm perfectly happy claiming the silver medal against such a great opponent!
