The first change was the removal of the [[IIC]] mechs (with exception to the [[Jenner IIC]]). This was due to the Harmony Gold lawsuits, which caused FASA to remove some of the mechs from the BT roster, labeling them as [[Unseen]]. Secondly, the soundtrack has been changed drastically as to what was heard from its PC counterpart as it would later be used for [[MechWarrior_2:_Mercenaries|Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries]]. Another edition to the console port was the addition of "power-ups", which ranged from invincibility and health pick-ups to jumpjet fuel to replenish limited jumpjet capacity. Also there are no lancemates to command due to the hardware limitations of the console. Finally, there are two new additional campaigns for each Clan adding to the Refusal War campaign. ===Game=== ===Game=== Line 44:
