6	* The ''VideoGame/MechWarrior 2'' [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8C524D44E4CD9203 soundtrack]]. It's probably among the most memorable video game soundtracks ever. It makes even the most mundane activity in the game seem epic. Even listening to them outside the game, they sound like they should be played while something epic happens. The soundtrack was composed by both Gregory Alper and Jeehun Hwang, the latter of which went on to compose the similar sounding ''[[{{VideoGame/Battlezone1998}} Battlezone]]'' soundtrack.
7	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNlMuiOdnpI The Predator and the Prey]] with the sudden, fast and tense buildup moments. Worth noting this also appeared in an early trailer for ''[[{{VideoGame/Battlezone1998}} Battlezone]]''.

26	* ''Ghost Bear's Legacy'' continues this trend. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf0togZgJ4o Track 11]] in the Battlepack Edition. Notably that edition's soundtrack was composed by Carey Chico who, you guessed it, was also involved in ''[[{{VideoGame/Battlezone1998}} Battlezone]]'''s music but in the sequel.

51	* The third game didn't have much of a soundtrack due to its long and troubled production but it was when Duane Decker took over for the series' music (and both ''VideoGame/{{MechCommander}}'' games), giving us two tracks to show what was to come, first being the main theme that plays on the menu and every even-numbered mission and "The Block Is Hot", a more Eastern theme and [[OminousLatinChanting ominous hymning]] that plays every odd-numbered mission. ''Pirate's Moon'' gave us three movements in a single track this time; the first is a climactic theme with tribal drums, the second is more dark sounding and was re-used both in the base game's trailer and epilogue, and the third is faster and more frantic before it ends with a short, climactic ending.
52	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3LM-jm2CV4 Wednesday 7]] from ''Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance'' is up there too.
53	* ''Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries'':
54	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRnIYRtLTMo Next Move]] ''will'' get stuck in your head depending on how long you spend in the [=MechLab=].
55	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfDKq9w3Ihs Behemoths]] is a pumping metal track that kicks in at the start of the Assault on Tharkad as a massive wave of Heavy and Assault 'Mechs under Peter Steiner-Davion crash into the similarly-kitted Steiner Loyalists and one of the largest fights in the game commences.
56	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UbHkMNtG_E Floodgate]] is just pure metal.

63	* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_smBV2YBtk A New Dawn]]'' is an album remix of ''[=MechWarrior=] 2: 31st Century Combat'' composed by Timothy Seals with remixes of Pyre Light, Silent Thunder, Arkham Bridge, Sable Flame, Umber Wall, Iron Piston, Temper Edge and Golden Spade. They're longer and much more climactic than the original songs.
