If you win, you advance in rank. If you are very successfully, you can make it all the way up to Khan, leader of the Clan!

While this time there are no dynamic campaign and mercenary actions, the Clan culture is integrated into the two campaigns. Different clans have different mechs and different rules, even different weapons. You can customize your mechs in order to use less than the "par" force in order to get a higher rating. The full 3D environment wasn't pretty as this was before the 3D accelerators made their debut, but it's still better than anything that came before.

MWLL uses CryEngine 2 as its engine and is set in the BattleTech universe. It is one of the few BattleTech-themed mods to have been sanctioned by Microsoft.

Battletech: Gray Death Legion is an unreleased mech shooter game for the Sega Mega-CD and Sega Saturn set to be published in January 1995 by Absolute Entertainment, and based on FASA's Battletech universe. The game uses a first-person perspective for the action, and is similar to Absolute's RDF: Global Conflict, also on Mega-CD. Nothing is known about the Saturn version other than being mentioned on some magazines of the time, but it's likely it would've played similarly. The game was put on indefinite hold in late 1995 due to the poor state of Absolute's finances. Sometime in the 2000s, a prototype of the Mega-CD version was found, which was later given a commercial unlicensed release by Good Deal Games.
