MW2:31stCC - Titanium trilogy - Jade Falcon Campaign Mod
Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 12:01 pm
When I realized that the Titanium Trilogy MW2:GBL's MW2.PRJ contains
all files for the 31stCC missions as well as almost all GBL and Mercs
mechs, it struck me that this could be used to mod the 31stCC campaign
to include far more mechs. It turned out that Mechs specific to Clans
Wolf and Jade Falcon could be activated, like the Phantom and
Linebacker (Wolf), as well as the Vixen (Jade Falcon). Moreover, many
Mechs from MW2:Mercs could be used to produce to IIC variants:
Commando IIC (TRO 3060), Orion IIC (TRO 3060), Highlander IIC (TRO 3060),
Urbanmech IIC (TRO 3060), Hunchback IIC (TRO 3058), Corvis (TRO 3060)
Although most of these IIC variants are in Technical Readout 3060, they
have been in use long before that, and merely weren't included in
earlier Technical Readouts. The modded mission Iron Piston lets you fight
Kell Hounds fielding Inner Sphere Mechs.
The intention was to make the missions harder to play because you encounter
heavier opposition, but also to make it more interesting, as the opposition
is more varied. The mechs for each faction were rebalanced to use more
typical mechs. For example, Wolf uses 13 Kit Foxes in the original Jade
Falcon campaign, although the Kit Fox is a rare sight outside Clan Jade
Falcon.
This is the first part of the mod, which applies to the Clan Jade Falcon
campaign of MW2:31stCC. You need MW2:31stCC and MW2:GBL, both as
Titanium Trilogy versions. It might be interesting to make a similar mod
for GBL, because it would be possible to use Mercs' Inner Sphere mechs
for that, but Titanium GBL already has a few of such changes.
Many thanks to Col. Kell and quota4stupid, whose research helped me
in making this mod.
Later versions of this mod might include fog for some missions.
Also, unfortunately, I was not able to activate the Kell Hound insignia
for the Mechs in Morges. This may also be fixed in a new version.
Please let me know if it works for you. I hope you like it.
