So! I finally got around to watching this (or re-watching it? it seemed oddly familiar, but I hadn't remarked on it before, so who knows), and a couple of things jumped out at me:

- They got the "target acquired" voice just about right. For some obscure reason, that made me happier than the actual, you know, combat.

- On the equally shallow downside, I liked the large laser sound effect in MechWarrior 4 way better.

- It amused me that the match turned into the MechWarrior equivalent of Hunt the Last Sectoid (an undocumented minigame anyone who remembers terror missions in the original UFO/X-COM will know well), and then abruptly turned into a World of Tanks "or the last survivor on the enemy team could punk out and deny everybody the kill" ending instead. :)
