Grinder: a mode that unleashes continuous waves of enemy AI mechs that increase in strength and number with each cycle.City Under Siege (downloadable content).The variety of different vehicles, as well as five separate multiplayer game types, gave MechAssault the hardiness to stay as one of the most popular Xbox Live-enabled games in the platform's history. While mech customization is somewhat limited, MechAssault provides players with 21 different mechs in total, many of which have the same chassis but unique weapon load outs. Once campaign mode is completed, the Ragnarok and Ymir mechs are unlocked for multiplayer. The player will "unlock" various mechs throughout campaign, allowing the option to choose different mechs with different playstyles to complete each mission. In Campaign, the player takes on the role of a nameless MechWarrior whose objective is to stop the Word of Blake from destroying the planet of Helios. Since no two mechs are alike, MechAssault allows plenty of different gameplay styles due to the unique weapon loadouts of each mech. Defensive weapons range from jump jets to cloaking to a flare which guides incoming missiles away from your mech. Offensive weapons come in three flavors: energy, ballistic, and missile. Most mechs have three offensive weapons and a single, unique defensive weapon (some smaller mechs only have two offensive weapons, and various mechs do not have a defensive weapon at all). Unlike previous MechWarrior games, MechAssault puts the camera behind the player's mech instead of within the cockpit, allowing for a wider field of view while simplifying gameplay, which represented a fairly significant departure. Gameplay A Mad Cat is madcatting it up by this ship. MechAssault was one of the Xbox's most successful online games, as well as one of its first, allowing players to go toe-to-toe in large scale, fast-paced mech combat. With an extensive single player campaign set in the Battletech universe and a robust multiplayer component, MechAssault established itself as one of the first hit releases of the original Xbox console.
