Well done HBS, well done indeed. :bow:
All those beautifully rendered works of BattleTech Art! : )
Mike and the Artists of Team HBS have a great deal to celebrate and be proud of in just this BATTLETECH Intro alone. It sets and maintains a high standard with respect to BattleTech visualization, composition and level of detail. A high standard that perfectly sets the tone for the BATTLETECH gameplay to follow.
OUTSTANDING job HBS, thank you.

I am very excited for this game, i really like these kinds of games and from the "let`s plays i have seen, this is gonna be a huge success. Great job on this game, you guys are great. "GOOD WISHES TO YOU"
As a longtime BT fan, I love it. 
Considering the richness of the lore, this intro could easily have last a half hour but I love it anyway !

Did Jon Everist create a longer version of that track? I hope so, the trailer version ends just as it is getting good.
The amount of nuggets in there for lore nerds is just....
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I love that intro! The imagery, the tone, the music, it is all perfect in summarizing the history of Battletech into such a short amount of time...without saying a word.
Aside from its own qualities as a game and as a story, I really like that this BattleTech is finally - finally! - going to be the introduction that the setting deserves.
In other forums, in other discussions about this game online, I'm constantly running into people who are like "oh neat! I loved MechWarrior. I never really paid attention to the story, though."
And, I mean, of course they didn't. The story in most previous BT games was always kind of vestigial, even when it was steeped in lore. Like, those galactic news bulletins you got in MW2: Mercenaries were pretty cool - if you already knew what they were talking about. If not, they weren't going to be your entree into the magical world of Battletech.
This game, finally, is that introduction. I can't imagine anyone who's remotely in the target audience would watch that intro and not immediately want to know more.

Does anybody have an ID on that Warship in the intro? To me, it kinda looks like an oldschool Sovetskii Soyuz from TRO 2750, which would be odd since all the BattleTech video games have used the Duane Loose interpretations from TRO 3057.

Wait, are you sure about that PH? It's not the ship we rebuild the Argo out of?

FYI - two of the artists who worked on this (Jenn Ravenna and Joel DuQue) have also been posting some stills of their work for this trailer and a couple of comments on it. Great work all round, really glad they went with this style of intro and the music fits well.
